With the multifarious information from the internet, books, and other
reading resources that will help you finish your academic papers, it is
paramount that we recall how you can avoid using somebody’s words or
ideas as your own.
Identifying Common Academic Purposes
The purpose for a piece of writing identifies the reason you write a
particular document. Basically, the purpose of a piece of writing answers the
question “Why?” For example, why write a play? To entertain a packed
MODULE LEARNING theater. Why write instructions to the babysitter? To inform him or her of

your schedule and rules. Why write a letter to your congressman? To

MLO 2. Convey ideas
through oral, audio-visual, In academic settings, the reasons for writing fulfill four main
and/or web-based
presentations for different purposes: to summarize, to analyze, to synthesize, and to evaluate. You will
target audiences in local
and global settings using encounter these four purposes not only as you read for your classes but also
appropriate registers
as you read for work or pleasure. Because reading and writing work together,
your writing skills will improve as you read.
Summary Paragraphs
A summary shrinks a large amount of information into only the essentials.
You probably summarize events, books, and movies daily. Think about the
last blockbuster movie you saw or the last novel you read. Chances are, at
some point in a casual conversation with a friend, coworker, or classmate,
you compressed all the action in a two-hour film or in a two-hundred-page
book into a brief description of the major plot movements. While in
conversation, you probably described the major highlights, or the main
points in just a few sentences, using your own vocabulary and manner of
speaking.
Similarly, a summary paragraph condenses a long piece of writing into a
smaller paragraph by extracting only the vital information. A summary uses
only the writer’s own words. Like the summary’s purpose in daily
conversation, the purpose of an academic summary paragraph is to maintain
all the essential information from a longer document. Although shorter than
the original piece of writing, a summary should still communicate all the key
points and key support. In other words, summary paragraphs should be
succinct and to the point.
Analysis Paragraphs
An analysis separates complex materials in their different parts and
studies how the parts relate to one another.
Analysis is not limited to the sciences, of course. An analysis
paragraph in academic writing fulfills the same purpose. Instead of
deconstructing compounds, academic analysis paragraphs typically
deconstruct documents. An analysis takes apart a primary source (an essay, a
book, an article, etc.) point by point. It communicates the main points of the
document by examining individual points and identifying how the points
relate to one another.
Synthesis Paragraphs
A synthesis combines two or more items to create an entirely new
item. Consider the electronic musical instrument aptly named the
synthesizer. It looks like a simple keyboard but displays a dashboard of
switches, buttons, and levers. With the flip of a few switches, a musician
may combine the distinct sounds of a piano, a flute, or a guitar—or any other
combination of instruments—to create a new sound. The purpose of the
synthesizer is to blend together the notes from individual instruments to form
new, unique notes.
The purpose of an academic synthesis is to blend individual
documents into a new document. An academic synthesis paragraph considers
the main points from one or more pieces of writing and links the main points
together to create a new point, one not replicated in either document.
Evaluation Paragraphs
An evaluation judges the value of something and determines its
worth. Evaluations in everyday experiences are often not only dictated by set
standards but also influenced by opinion and prior knowledge.
For example, at work, a supervisor may complete an employee
evaluation by judging his subordinate’s performance based on the company’s
goals. If the company focuses on improving communication, the supervisor
will rate the employee’s customer service according to a standard scale.
However, the evaluation still depends on the supervisor’s opinion and prior
experience with the employee. The purpose of the evaluation is to determine
how well the employee performs at his or her job.
An academic evaluation communicates your opinion, and its
justifications, about a document or a topic of discussion. Evaluations are
influenced by your reading of the document, your prior knowledge, and your
prior experience with the topic or issue. Because an evaluation incorporates
your point of view and reasons for your point of view, it typically requires
more critical thinking and a combination of summary, analysis, and synthesis
skills. Thus evaluation paragraphs often follow summary, analysis, and
synthesis paragraphs. Read a student’s evaluation paragraph.
Writing at Work
Thinking about the purpose of writing a report in the workplace can
help focus and structure the document. A summary should provide
colleagues with a factual overview of your findings without going into too
much specific detail. In contrast, an evaluation should include your personal
opinion, along with supporting evidence, research, or examples to back it up.
Listen for words such as summarize, analyze, synthesize, or evaluate when
your boss asks you to complete a report to help determine a purpose for
writing.
Identifying the Audience
Imagine you must give a presentation to a group of executives in an
office. Weeks before the big day, you spend time creating and rehearsing the
presentation. You must make important, careful decisions not only about the
content but also about your delivery. Will the presentation require
technology to project figures and charts? Should the presentation define
important words, or will the executives already know the terms? Should you
wear your suit and dress shirt? The answers to these questions will help you
develop an appropriate relationship with your audience, making them more
receptive to your message.
Now imagine you must explain the same business concepts from your
presentation to a group of high school students. Those important questions
you previously answered may now require different answers. The figures and
charts may be too sophisticated, and the terms will certainly require
definitions. You may even reconsider your outfit and sport a more casual
look. Because the audience has shifted, your presentation and delivery will
shift as well to create a new relationship with the new audience.
In these two situations, the audience—the individuals who will watch
and listen to the presentation—plays a role in the development of
presentation. As you prepare the presentation, you visualize the audience to
anticipate their expectations and reactions. What you imagine affects the
information you choose to present and how you will present it. Then, during
the presentation, you meet the audience in person and discover immediately
how well you perform.
Let us first review how to quote, paraphrase, summarize, and to
correctly cite authorities.
Quotes, paraphrases, and summarizes are introduced by signal
phrases.
Quoting is copying the words of the author and intertwining these
words to your own. Quoted statements, which are incorporated at the
beginning, middle, or end part of your paragraph are enclosed in quotation
marks and are identified with the author’s family name, year of publication,
and page number of the journal or book where he quoted statement was lifted
from.
Paraphrasing entails using your own words and own style of writing
to state another author’s idea. You may use a grammatical structure different
from that of the original text. Paraphrasing requires understanding the
original text, setting it aside for you to write your own text, then going back
to the original text to check if what you have written brought out the
meaning intended by the author.
Summarizing on the other hand, warrants the articulation of the
important ideas of the original text in a compendious form. Hence, a research
article can simply be summarized in less than ten sentences.
A research entails a careful scientific investigation of a phenomenon
through synthesizing and analyzing research literatures in order to come up
with a sound problem and appropriate methodology to correctly gather data,
organize, analyze, and present the data or findings about this phenomenon.
Types of Research
1. Pure Research
2. Applied Research
3. Action Research
4. Policy Research
Kinds of Research Report
1. Academic research report
2. Research Artticle for Publication
3. Commission Research Report
Common Elements of a Research Report
1. Research Title
This preesents the capsule of the study; hence, it should not be
the first to be written. It is recommended that a title shoul not be
more than 12 susbtantial words.
2. Abstract
Generally, a research abstrqact consists of 150 to 250 words.
It presents the research objectives and research problems,
methodology, summary of the findings and conclusions or further
implications of the study.
3. Introduction
The intriduction presents a comprehensive review of research
literatures in order to identify a research gap where the objective of
the current research will be anchored from.
4. Methodology
The methodoloy must be carefully according to the objective
of the stduy.
5. Results/Findings and Discussion
The results or findings of the stduy shiw the processed data
and is presented according to the research problems. A discussion
folows after the presentation of the findings.
6. Conclusions and Recommendations
Conclusions are considered as the extension of the findings
while recommendations are considered extension of the conclusion.
7. References
References list the sources or authorities cited in the study.
These are presented according to the prescribed format of the
institution or of the publishing companies.
The research Introduction
Now that you have finalized your reseaech topic, you are ready to
write the first draft of your research introduction
Your introduction must present a comprehensive review of research
literatures of thre key terms of your research titrl, establish the gap of your
study and state the gap of the study, the research objective, the research
problems, and the significance of the study. The significance, however, may
not be always required by institution or publishing companies, but then your
need to consider a lot of things in doing your introduction.
The Research Method
Remember that the data will answer your research problem depends
on the method. No matter how comprehensive and well-researched your
introduction, gap, and problems are if there is a problem on the method, the
findings of the research may not be reliable.
A. Research Concepts
1. Research Approaches
Choosing the research approach--quantitative, qualitative or
mixed depends on the research problem, experiences, and the
audience or reader to whom the research is intended (Creswell,
2003).problem.
2. Research Designs this are the strategy of inquiry are experimental
for quantitative,phenomenology, case study, grounded theory, and narrative
for qualitative; and sequential, concurrent, and trasformative for mixed
method
3. Research Techniques this are rating behaviors, field observarion,
close-ended measures and open-ended measures (Creswell 2003)
Once you have identified vthe research approach suitable to
your problem, experinces, and audience, you have to go back to your
research introduction. If your problema entails quantitative approach,
you need to write a hypothesis for your
B. Parts of the Method
1. Design.
This sub-part of the method states the approach and design or
the strategy of inquiry that will be used in the study.
2. Population and Locale.
This is also termed as subject and study site or selection and
study site. This part presents the setting of the study, the number of
respondents or key informants, the manner of choosing the
respondents, and the rationale behind the choice of the respondents
and/or the setting.
3. Data Gathering Tool.
This is also termed as instruments, instrumentation, or data
measure. It presents the tools and the descriptions of the tools that
will be used in gathering the data.
4. Data Collection Procedure or Data Gathering Procedure.
This part presents the how or the steps that will be followed in order
to collect data for the study.
5. Data Analysis.
This may also be termed data explication, mode of analysis or
treatment of data. This part shows how the data will be treated. It
presents the process of systematically applying statistical and/or
logical techniques to describe and illustrate, condense and recap, and
evaluate data.
6. Ethical Consideration.
This is one of the most important parts of the method for it
addresses ethical concerns in research. St times, this part is lumped
with the data gsthering procedure.
A literary analysis makes a point about a literary piece. It examines,
questions and evalutes a work of literature. The analysis may be on the plot,
setting, characters, tone, and theme.
Elements of Literature
Theses are some of the elements that can be the focus of a
literary analysis.
Plot - the series of events in the story-beginning, middle and end.
Character(s) - the people/animals in the story who carry out the
action
Setting - the where and when the story takes place
Theme - the central belief of the story, usually something abstract
that unifies the whole plot like love, friendship, etc.
Tone - the attitude that a write has towards the subject.
Literary Criticism Approaches
Literary criticism is the comparison, analysis, interpretation
and/or evaluation of works of literature. It evaluates the value and
merit of a literary work using certain parameters, approaches or
concepts in literature. Approaches to literary criticism are used as
bases of literary analysis.
1. The introduction should capture the reader’s interest. You may use
quotation, question, vivid description,and startling as starter followed by an
introduction about and a summary of the literary piece. Lastly, your
introduction must clearly state a thesis statement.
2. The boy is the development of the thesis statement. Each
paragraph in the body has a topic sentence that supports the thesis statement,
and each topic sentence is elaborated with evidences.
3. The conclusion should echo the thesis statement. It should not be
presenting new ideas which were not develop in the body.
4. The references list entries cited in the literary analysis text.
Writing a Political Analysis Paper
The field of Political Science requires a good grasp of writing skills
for different purposes. Every now and then, people react to various political
issues that emerge. Rallies, position papers, essays, editorial, and otters are
possible ways to voice out one’s understanding or stand regarding an issue or
event in politics.
The field of political science covers vast topics from the old
traditional strictures of political science to the most recent theories and
practices in the said field. Extensive knowledge in the history of world and
intentional affairs, and good analytical skills are vital refinements in political
science.
A Political Science Analysis Paper:
1. Answers questions pertaining to actions, procedures, and
implementation of politics;
2. Analyzes political events in the past and the present;and
3. Investigates political phenomenon from diverse standpoints.
Requirements for a decent political analysis paper:
1. Vast understanding of local politics and international affairs
2. Extensive reading and research
3. Knowledge of the parts of a political analysis paper
A. Introduction - defines political terms, states the
movie and thesis
B. Body - analyzes data, presents arguments in
paragraphs, gives proof
C. Conclusion - extrapolates the ideas stated in the body
and makes counter-arguments.
4. Objectivity of the write or author
5. Citation and referencing
6. Formality of tone
7. Clear, concise, and well-structured sentences
8. Clearly-define terms
The widespread use of the Internet has greatly affected academic
communication and has caused both advances and complications in
academic discourse. While academicians now have the ability to share
information with all corners of the globe, they must also face an increased
risk of plagiarism. For this reason, correctly citing sources through
annotations or bibliographies is vital to academic communication.
Academic institutions must also keep up with changing technology
and might alter their policies to ensure fair access to academic resources.
They furthermore might need to adapt to new forms of academic
communication, such as the use of e-mail to communicate with instructors or
the need to cite online articles.
The Three P’s of an Academic Presentation
A. Plan
Planning is fundamental in all activities. Before preapring for your
presentation, set first your objective then evaluate your audience and context.
Setting your Objective
What is your purpose in delivering an academic presentation?
What should the audience be able to learn or be able to do after your
presentation?
Setting a clear objective will give clear direction of what you
will present and how you will present.
Evaluating your Audience
Knowing the profile of your audience will also influence the
format, content, and style of your presentations.You also need to
consider religious and political beliefs, attitude, and preferences of
the audience.
Evaluating the Context
Evaluating the context entails looking at the environmental
conditions of setting of academic presentation.The time when will
you will be delivering your presentation, the weather, and venue can
affect your style of delivery and kind of visuals.
B. Prepare
Now that you have set your objectives and evaluated your audience
and the context, it is time to prepare the content of and visuals for your
presentation and yourself as a presenter.
Prepare the content, similar to writing academic papers, the content
of presentation includes introduction, body, and conclusion.
The introduction should not be lengthy, it should just be enough to
win the attention of your audience and to introduce the topic of your
presentation.
The body is the meat of your presentation.
The conclusion is the last part of your presentation; hence, it should
leave a positive mark on your audience. A weak conclusion can affect
negatively your presentation.
Prepare the Visuals
Remember that you use visual aids to help you achieve your
goal. They are to enhance and not to distract the presentation; hence,
it is very important that you choose an appropriate material.
The points to consider in preparing your slides fro multimedia
presentation include:
1. Font size and type
2. Color
3. Background
4. Animation or transition
5. Images
6. Time Allotment for each slide or part of presentation
Prepare Yourself
One of the most forgotten aspects of preparation is preparing
self as a presenter.
C. Present
During the day of your presentation, go to the venue earlier and
check on the multimedia projector or the things that you need for your
visuals. Having small talks with your audience before your presentation may
also help lessen your anxiety.
Academic writing is essential to every student and can be used to
enhance one’s communication skills. With it, a student can show how to
apply the knowledge acquired so far. This writing happens in a different
setting; for instance; you can have academic writing that presents an
argument with evidence to support the viewpoint. Sometimes its due to
analyse certain information and present the analysis as a written piece.
