Reference and Resource Stuff:
- "Third-person" writing
- why it is so hard, why it is so useful, and how to do it well.
For many university students, first-person writing (I, we, us, ...)
is much easier than third-person. Why is third-person harder? Why is
third-person so useful in post-secondary education? How can you get
your mind to think that way? And some "Yes, but..." thoughts
on third-person writing, too.
- Overcoming research
procrastination. Starting a project, thesis, business, plan, etc.
is often the hardest part. And starting usually means doing "research".
Why do we procrastinate in starting research? What can we do to help
ourselves "get on with it"? Here is a primer on the causes
of this problem and some techniques for getting going on research.
- How to reduce the size (word count)
of your writing without losing important ideas - a primer for undergraduate
/ graduate students and writers of all kinds on how to reduce word counts.
A 3-step process is included to work through in distancing yourself
from your work and adopting a critical mind frame for looking at your
writing from an editing viewpoint.
- How to do a literature
review and how to include research findings in your writing - a
primer on the challenging task of integrating the work of others into
your thesis, research paper, or project. Lots of people write lots of
useful stuff. But how do I integrate what they have said into my own,
original writing?
- 21st century research
resources - how and why writers of mba thesis papers, authors of
business plans, marketing analysts, and others doing technical, business,
industry, and societal research can use online discussion groups, email
lists, and other internet based resources to find the best, most current
and most credible information.
- Data, information and knowledge
management software: "What software should I use?" A primer
on finding the right data, information and knowledge management tools
for your working style and needs. Comparisons and reviews of software
to visualize data into diagrams, store text and RTF data, outline, mindmap,
and more.
