13、 research fieldnRe Final Year Projects, “This section should be as concise as possible, and should include everything that you particularly want the reader to know. The problem should be stated, and the main findings and conclusions should be included in the same order as in the report.” (1) i.e. th

14、e abstract encapsulates the whole argument of the textnGiven the nature of an abstract, its clear that a quick but careful preliminary reading of the abstract alone will allow for successful reading of the whole paper16Effective reading for sciencenIts possible to take an even more strategic approac

15、h to using abstractsnIsolate each statement in the abstractnPerhaps use colour/highlighter to identify them?nMatch these against the whole paper, identifying which section of the text relates to each part of the abstractnFor example, you can colour-code paragraphs to show which part of the abstract

Reading strategically - headings & paragraph deconstruction Headings:nAs well as the main sections outlined above, scientific papers will also be organised by headings, subheadings and paragraphsnHeadings and sub-headings follow the general direction

21、kes in presenting/preparing Final Year Dissertations:n “Not being critical enough. Both of previous researchers work and of yours. A good literature review and discussion is reliant on your ability to discuss, make comparisons and critically analyse previous researchers work. You should also be able

22、 to recognise shortcomings in your work and suggest how youd approach the same issue differently next time” (6)22Critical readingnThere is no magic solution to developing critical readingnContinuous practice, and a willingness to adopt a critical mind-set , will helpnYou might like to consider how y

23、ou can foster this mind-set by using a template for taking notes23Critical reading a notes templatenConsider the following headings n1. Source informationnFor accurate referencingn2.
