Now before you all bombard me with questions about the research
paper here is a list of typical questions and answers to help you on your way. Please note that i will only be answering questions about the research paper in the week 13 lectures (hence I explained the importance of that lecture many times). The questions below are something you should of seen previously:) 1) Is this a report? No, it is a research paper; you research the topic/question and write an essay (eg intro, body, and conclusion) 2) Do I need “in text referencing”? You need to follow the rules of APA or Harvard style referencing. 3) I found some “stuff” on Wikipedia, is that ok. No, even I have my limits 4) I found a blog with some “stuff” No, blogs will not suffice 5) I am not sure about question 1 Then do another question 6) I am not sure about question 6 Then do another question 7) What do you mean by the question, how should I interpret it? Come to the week 12 lecture prepared to ask as many questions as you like. I am not going to answer 750 plus emails and forum questions from now til then. You need to realise sometimes uni needs to take priority. 8) Is this an essay? As explained before, yes. (I wrote this one to show you how students will ask the same question without reading other peoples points) 9) Is 2400 words a minimum? 2400 words is a approximation, it will not include your references. Some students have written less and have been quite successful… don’t ask how much.
