23.08.2012 | 學術寫作

[Volume 7 Issue 8, #1515]
最近忙於我篇研究論文中, 發覺其實寫學術性論文對我(呢個IT背景嘅人)嚟講, 確實係件難事.. 之前喺職場, 邊有呢啲長篇大論嘅文章?? 全部都係簡短精杆㗎啦, 係唔係?? 而且每次寫嘅報告, 都係比較技術性質㗎嘛.. 以前三兩日可以完成一份報告, 依家一日最盡都係寫兩頁咋陰功!! 點解?? 因為每寫一個句子, 就要去搵好多參考支持自己個point, 又或者去搵好多參考反駁其他人嘅point.. 而且仲要寫到有連貫性, 前呼後應兼一氣呵成, 真係挑戰我囉.. 希望可以快快寫好呢一篇最後一擊啦, 阿彌陀佛~~
講開又講, 我呢份論文需要搵好多喺吧生谷工作嘅IT人透過電郵幫我做調查問卷, 大家如果有朋友可以幫手, 麻煩通知我吖~~ 感激不盡!! :)
am occupied with my research dissertation recently, and i realized writing academic dissertation is really something tough for (someone with an IT background like) me.. previously in my jobs, there is nothing that i need to write in such a long magnitude because all reports are required to be concise and precise, right?? furthermore, contents in those reports are mostly technical.. i can get one report done in two to three days last time, but now i can at most write two pages of text, that's pathetic!! why then?? because for every sentence i write, i need to search for references to support my point, or maybe search for references to oppose views from others.. also the need to have continuity between sentences, well structured to have a smooth flow of ideas.. that really challenges me and how i hope i can get this final one done quickly, amitabha~~
BTW for this dissertation, i need to find quite a number of IT people within Klang Valley to help me with a questionnaire, if you or your friends can help, hope you'll contact me, my heartiest gratitude!! :)

      It's not easy and rather time consuming to do your dissertation. Even for a tesis, I had spent my precious free time just for that. You definitely have to do lots of research and they have to be acknowledged. Surely you know how to go about it.

      First day back to office and I need to clear my emails and piling workload~ I love long holidays and hate its aftermath! I even think of not returning at all... but I can't fight the reality T___T

      Luckily, I don't have to do any research dissertation at this old age anymore~ You won't see me graduate in 10 years time, given this dissertation :p

      Googling online may give one a lot of info but sources from the internet are not always accepted as references. However, the internet is a great resource for reference materials to check up on.

      Good luck on your dissertation, SK. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step" comes to mind and you have accomplished that, the first step.

    Academic writing needs lots of references as your appendices. You could gain points from there too. I simply love to quote from those people but we need to support it with logic too.

      Good morning, Small Kucing!
      I used to write long essays but not anymore since I left school. But the memories stay about how to write good essays, tesis and even any academic writings.

    Oh dear.. I know how you feel! I had to write my dissertation when I did my Masters last time and I was stuck! But trust me, once you get the momentum, things will come easily. You just need to create the momentum! Good luck!

    I have a feeling I am sure you can write and submit a very perfect research dissertation at the end. I have the trust in you. The last time I did this type of academic document was in my Uni final year thesis. I leveraged from Senior's thesis a lot.
