【教學生academic writing有感】
讀postgrad啦,寫論文唔好停留喺搵journal剪剪貼貼,paraphrase當個人見解既階段啦。
應該好好學習點樣formulate 自己的 thesis,再用自己精準的文字,無懈可擊的 argument support佢。
總之,無論你搵幾多reference,引幾多quote,都唔能夠取代你自己argue既個人見解。
To write a good essay, you need to have a burning desire to make a point, and argue well for it. It's not a copy and paste exercise or a competition of scrambling to find journal articles that contain words you want to repeat or paraphrase...
唔係淨係講PhD。讀taught master要寫essay,做dissertation,是同一個道理。
