--6 of us attended for the 2nd time and all of us accomplished our commitment from the previous meeting. Congratulations to Cartoon, Suchita, Jongjit, Suwana, Nick & Kerry!
--People had problems getting access to the blog and posting. Kerry promised to move the blog to Google blogging (Blogger).
--Suchita (as per her commitment) started reading the Becker book, Writing for Social Scientists. Becker gives the following tips:
- Don't write the introduction first. Instead write all your ideas down without worrying about the structure of the paper or whether it makes sense. This way you don't lose track of your original ideas before doing your literature review and getting other people's comments.
- Edit by your ear: your writing should sound right to you.
- Appreciate people's comments without getting defensive or upset.
Suchita will read more of the book for the next meeting.
--Nick spoke about Argumentation, which I will write about in the next post.
Our next meeting is on May 16 at 13:30 in room 324.
If I forgot anything, please comment!
