English� Because we are terrible in English, we just can

understand a part of what you say, so I think that you can demonstrate first , then let us do it. In addition, I am terrible at listening, so I understand what you say by looking at the PPT. I think we need a Teaching assistant to help us.

� It should be easier in person. � I have tried to find a TA, but no one was available or

willing, but if you know someone ... � We will work together to solve the problems.

Checking what you have doneHomework, Chapters 2, 3, 4:Overall structure

Claim about overall structure (does your field follow IPTC or IMRD format?)and support (number of sections, section titles, length of sections, other)with comments on any unusual features or problems

Tables for 3 articles: overall structure (like those in ch. 2)Text summary pointing to tables: “As shown in Table …”Tables well-formattedNumber and Title for each table

IntroductionClaim about structure of Introduction (does it follow the expected pattern?)

and support (order of components, other)with comments on any unusual features or problems

Tables for 3 articles: Introduction (like those in ch.. 4)Text summary pointing to tables: “As shown in Table …”Tables well-formattedNumber and Title for each table

HeadingsEach part (Overall structure, Introduction, References) has a heading

Headings use Word Style to enable use of navigation paneReferences

Components in the Introduction1. Identify the components in each paragraph in the

Introduction division of your first exemplar article and the component markers that help you identify them. Summarize this in a table. [Use Appendix 1]

2. Does the Introduction follow the order of components as listed? [This is the claim, part 1 is the support.]

3. Where is the research goal stated in your exemplar articles, and how? If they use the phrase “to [the best of ] our knowledge” or additional bullet points or sentences to expand on the goal, make note of that.

4. Is there a paragraph at the end of the Introduction that describes the organization of the rest of the paper?

34

34

Component markers� Phrases or groups of words that mark each component

� Examples in following slides� More examples of each in the textbook

35

35

1. Importance� Why should the reader be interested in this topic?

1a. It is important to society� “… essential part of …”

1b. It is important to researchers� “Extensive research has been conducted …”

� Story to generate interest� (common in popular writing, not in research articles)

36

36

2. Need� Why is more research needed on this?

2a. Nothing has been done� “To the best of our knowledge, this is the first …”

2b. What has been done is not good enough� “However”, “drawbacks”, “limitations”

2c. Society will benefit� “… use less material, lower cost, …”

37

37

3. Research goal� How does this research contribute?

3a. Our goal addresses that need� “Therefore, our aim in this paper …”

3b. Our solution solves the problem� “In this paper we propose …”

3c. Our research makes a positive contribution� “… faster, more efficient [than current best]”� May be a bulleted list

38

38

Organization of the paper� Final paragraph in Introduction

� Describes briefly what is in each section� “In section 2, we … Section 3 presents …”

� Not present in all papers

� Not a ‘claim’ – not a component� Still important to notice� Mark as ‘Organization’
