Dok dengar Prof Gary Knowles PhD Cambridge - the art of writing.

+++ he showed us the Words - Outlining - structure ur writings - move your levels in the Word Software - must learn this skill very well for budding writers

Broad/ generalist

Low level? generalists// general readers // u must learn how to address your idea to the general populations

Get this book. Nesbitt ( ) The geography of thoughts.

+ the climax - deciding between 2 opposing views.

experiment

modelling

argument

See his conclusion:

".. in view of the evidence presented here, we affirm the standard view that Shakesphere was a homosexual who wrote his own plays ".

- when there is no choice to be made// we did a survey// analyze // report the analysis

+ write up

the hourglass structure//

- start broad - narrowing your writing - focus ur expertise -

+++++++++++ who is ur readers?
general editor - the abstract?
- specialist - they become ur reviewers

- central articles --- this going to be read by the experts // the methodology section is read by the experts // ur articlle is rejected by ISI when the experts found out you are not an expert // u r rubbishing things up/ many articles are rejected when your writing prove that you are not an expert in your area of expertise/// a PhD holder must demonstrate u r an expert// prove that in ISI // try ISI reviewers. This is the skill I want to learn. Show your expertise in maths education in MOHE polytechnic set up. THe experts are from USA; Japan; Australia. target your journal. ISI journal. See how the journal .. build up the database of that journal // what sentences .. are the way .. many writers are expressing their ideas. If they agree ..how they wrote it up.

If they don't agree ..how did they say that. There are many ways to express. Get the key paragraphs from the database of that targeted journals. Try. You are not a loser, aren't you?

- peripheral sections -------- i don't expect to understand everything in this writing // but i will be greatly dissappointed if i can't understand the intro and abstract n the conclusion

-- what is form ? what is the contents??
forms have many sections -

Pause!!!

Insy allah i will recompose this article in my blog. Going fast .. Gary talks fast 1 hour lecture - last day of the course///

Sekian.
