The Good Paper

THE GOOD PAPER is a handbook for students in higher education programmes who are writing BA dissertations, masters theses, project reports, research papers or other essays.

  1. What are you asking? The paper s research question (formulation of the problem)
  2. Why are you asking it? The purpose/aim of the paper - e.g., its use
  3. Where do you find your answer?  The empirical basis, material, data, phenomena behind the paper
  4. What do you use to get the answer? The tools of the paper: Philosophy of science, theory, concepts, methods
  5. How are you asking the question? The paper s procedure, approach

Anmeldelser

Underviser

"Bogen er velegnet som en 'study companion'. (...) jeg anbefaler den som en støtte til mine studerende når de skriver deres eksamensprojekter." - Johan Jacobsen, Aarhus Universitet, Aarhus BSS, Bachelor in Marketing and Managment Communication.

"Perfekt niveau og sprog til dette fag." - Inger Dalsgaard, Aarhus Universitet, Engelsk.

Medier

"A brief scan of the contents list immediately marks this book out as quite different from most Study Skills books available from UK publishers. It is refreshing to see the detail and depth of analysis that is included. There is an intellectual rigour that you rarely see in books aimed at undergraduate students. Notions of argumentation, rhetoric, and metacommunication are introduced and explored. (...) The result is a book I would happily recommend to staff and students."
- Cathy Malone, Journal of Pedagogic Development, Centre for Learning Excellence
