Examining A Sample Student Six-Source Essay

 

As you compare the two essays, consider the following information:

Transitions are like signs for your readers. They give direction and they help to link things together. Good transitions move the reader from one point to the next, and they also focus the attention of the reader on the main idea of the essay. You can use words or phrases as transitions, but you must be careful to choose words that indicate the right relationship between ideas. Here are a few examples of relationships you can indicate with transitions: (1) to show addition: and, also, in addition, furthermore. (2) to give examples: for example, for instance, specifically (3) to compare: also, likewise, similarly (4) to contrast: however, on the other hand, yet, although (5) to summarize or conclude: therefore, in other words (6) to show time: after, before, during, next, finally, meanwhile, immediately (7) to show place or direction: above, below, nearby, close, far, left, right (8) to indicat

Analyzing The Results Of Three Research Studies

 

To complete this task, you find three articles through UMGC's OneSearch that report on research studies.  Many scholarly articles are actually reports of the findings of a research study. For this reason it should not be difficult to find three such articles.  For example, if your topic is teleworking (which is a very general topic), you could easily find three studies on teleworking.  If your topic is white-collar crime, you could find three studies on the very general topic of white-collar crime.

After you find your three articles, please read over the three articles and complete the following for each one:

  • list the source in APA format
  • list key terms in the article
  • describe the focus of the study
  • describe the methodology the author used

1. First of all, I have used the metaphors sponge off friends or skim funds off the top in my daily life. I mainly use the first metaphor to explain someone who does nothing himself but tries to get profit from others. For example, when doing group assignments, I could use this word to explain those who want to get a high score without doing anything. We can also call those people free-riders. Also, I use the sentence We devour a book when I want to talk about someone who has studied one thing for a long time. For example, when my friend studies for a long time, I usually use that metaphor to explain how into the book he was.


As such, we use many different kinds of metaphors in our daily lives. By using these metaphors, we can emphasize and ensure what we want to convey to
