I was given the assingment of a research paper and was under the impression we were writing our own, when it mostly literature review based off another persons research. I will upload my original work and show the comments that my professor told me to change to make it an improved paper. Due to the short notice and confusion between me and the professor he has given me until monday to complete. I would like an update with shown work and visible edits made once daily so that way I dont have to scramble to correct or make you fix something last minute if it is wrong. I will copy and paste instructions and tips for the revision below.
From Professor:
Ok, I want to make sure you know your work does have some real strengths, even if my review of your work might seem a bit heavy, or overly critical. I know, sometimes all I do is point out the problems, or just take away points. Here is some advice I often find myself repeating when a draft seems to fall short of my expectations. It won’t all apply to any one student, but some of it might give a jump start to get back on track.
I can tell, you’ve worked hard, but you still have much work to do! A senior thesis should challenge you in ways other papers never did.
If one area on the rubric is low while others are pretty high, you can focus primarily on that one area of need (usually the METHOD). If you are losing points on many sections of the RUBRIC, you may need to reconsider the general topic (what is this about?), general project design (what will I do?) as well as your DETAILED use of MANY good sources focused on your topic presented as social science in APA format. If your draft has been reviewed and scored by the RUBRIC, I’ve probably also made some comments through out, and written a general comment. GradeMark also provides an automated grammar and spell check, some of which can be very useful. Please see all those available on your work for max feedback. I hope we’ve spoken a bit in person and that you gave your quick pitch in class or office hours. I expect that by now you have PILES of scholarly studies ON YOUR topic, loads of knowledge about it, and have considered a wide range of possible methods/projects before deciding upon your current direction and now your central concepts should be well-developed in the paper. You know both why you chose the project and have a good idea of HOW to get it done. If not, this is an important area to RESEARCH as well. Texts like Babbie or Creswell are the minimum because they are so broad. So, look for specific METHODOLOGICAL guidelines in scholarly sources or books or even Wikipedia for a first stop. Remember, every published study has a method section for you to study. Even if not on your central concepts, you might learn from a study using the method or measures you would like employ.
The main part of the paper should begin with a clear & direct intro that forecasts the key content of the paper and/or core problem you hope to address in the body of the lit review. Cut out any paragraphs that are NOT making use of at least 1 scholarly source. Keep them somewhere if you want, but get them out of the front row of this paper for now. NEXT, move paragraphs around so that ones of similar subjects are next to each other. If you see long ones, consider splitting them in two, or scaling them down by revising using the BE MORE DIRECT rule. Delete or reduce the amount of OFF TOPIC content, and then review that 1 paragraph intro that mostly identifies your key issue and introduces the main sections of the paper itself. Lit review section ends with a purpose paragraph that should contain similar topics or concepts as the lit review, that is don’t bait & switch!
A note on positive, action-oriented work: If you can find a way to tilt a paper toward instruction, prevention, or maximizing development through non-clinical intervention rather than focus on “causes of problem behavior”, then more participants qualify and you can work toward a solution rather than fuss about causes of bad things. IF causes are well-established, you could work to reduce or eliminate those causes, but again work to solve a problem not just further detail them unless they are poorly understand and need exploring (like emerging topics such as cyber-bullying). If treatment effects are well-established in experimental studies, why not try to spread those practices to the community? or propose a case study of a context where it is delivered in the community. Program evaluation is nice community-based approach to take that does not require experimental control. You just need access and to work with the community partner to help them answer some of their own questions.
METHOD bits & parts
I still wish more of you would try implementation, action-based, or community-based research projects rather than simply data collection oriented projected. IF collecting data, make sure you are well-intentioned; no need to “prove” anything, qualitative data exploring or describing a situation or person is always useful for our understanding, you just have to know how to pitch it and how to do it.
By now, if you know your general method, there is no reason to not have DRAFTED the EXACT questions you plan to ask using either survey or interview type approaches. Remember, those are “instruments” or prompts to gather data and therefore get described under MATERIALS sub-section, and if you have a form you will use to gather data or to give your participants that form should be a separate document added to the end of your paper as an “Appendix”. You will not get approval if I have not seen AND approved the exact wording of any question you plan to ask whether orally during an interview or on a questionnaire in survey research handed out on paper or given on-line.
Good luck with your revision, or re-visioning!
