English 301 Week 10

 Notecards work well because they allow you to reimagine your research, experimenting with different ways to organize your work. You can easily group your sources by topic and then shuffle your cards, rearranging ideas and source material in a way you can’t shuffle or rearrange notebook pages or electronic documents. You can also spread your cards out and see the whole project in a way that linear notebook pages or scrolling documents do not allow. Using cards, you can move sources around, insert your own thoughts and ideas, and create a thoughtful, flexible outline for your research project.  


TECHNIQUE - PARAPHRASE SOURCES 

When you paraphrase, you translate another writer’s ideas into your own words. You might choose to paraphrase a passage in your research that your readers may find difficult to understand. Restating the information in your own words may make it easier for your readers to access the information, particularly if it was originally written for an audience with specialized knowledge.


REMEMBER

  • What issues are people discussing in connection with your topic?
  • What questions are driving current research in this field?


GOALS

  • You have started preliminary research to explore your research question. Reflect on what you have learned. What do you know now that you did not know when you started your research?
  • How has your research altered or deepened your understanding of this issue?
  • How has your approach to research changed?

  1. Review your notes and identify holes in your research and categories that require additional research.
  2. As outlined in Chapter 12, Elder Boyd K. Packer encouraged students to avoid the “clerical process” so often associated with academic research and instead embrace the “thinking process.” What is the difference between the two?
  3. How do you plan to engage the thinking process in your research and writing?

Empathy is a common term used in the mental health field.  When describing this to my clients, I describe empathy as the ability to see and understand another person’s world or experience without getting lost in it.  An important step in both couples and family therapy is helping each individual to understand and express empathy when communicating.

FAML 430 Week 2

  Perhaps the first step in building community is getting to know one another as fellow passengers on the sojourn of life. Then the stranger and foreigner will become familiar. Then our shared beliefs and experience will surface and become a building block for both our sense of community and our tolerance and appreciation of our differences.
