标题[问题] 关於writing sample的问题..
时间Sat Sep 24 03:50:33 2011
我主要是要申请人文社会科学,
有几间学校都要求要writing sample,要7-10页
不过都没有说是double spaced 或是 single spaced,
我写信去学校问,都过一个星期了,一点音讯也没QQ
请问一般来说应该是怎麽样阿?
另外,有一间学校有特别要求,可是我有点点不太明白这是什麽意思
我把我困惑的地方用黄色:(其他是为了有上下文,方便大家为我解惑)
Within your composition, point out how that topic relates to your research
and scholarly interests.
In other words, what research would you like to
conduct on the topic? Feel free to develop your composition on any topic you
wish within this
broad framework, but be certain to focus on a
single topic,
be certain to explore your research interests related to that topic, and
include citations for any references that you use.
Graduate faculty will examine your paper for clarity and grammatical
construction, organization and focus of ideas, effectiveness of transitions
between major themes and ideas, validity and soundness of reasoning, and
quality of evidence you provide in support of your positions.
As such,
you are writing an argument, not a descriptive work. Results of the
evaluation of your paper will be used by graduate faculty in making a
recommendation to the Graduate School concerning your admission or
non-admission to graduate studies.
我不懂的是:他要我conduct a research,可是如果只有7-10页,
怎麽能包含问题、假设、研究方法、统计资料分析,和结论?
另外,什麽叫做argument?? 难道是像GRE那样挑出逻辑不对的地方??
我能找一篇我有兴趣的学术期刊文章,然後写article crtique吗?
或者是,假设我有兴趣的研究主题是:
生态旅游对於自然资源永续发展的探讨
我要怎麽写才算是又深又广???
1.写一下缘起 (为什麽这个重要)(半页)
2.文献回顾:什麽是生态旅游,什麽是自然资源、永续发展
(光文献探讨,定义可能就好几页罗QQ)
3.假设我的立场是:生态旅游对永续发展其实一点都没有帮助 (为了要argument??)
提出我找到的文献或是质疑那些结论是有帮助的文章不够精确?
4.结论
这是我想到最简洁的,可是我觉得这样很广泛,好像不够深入(?)
不知道版上的大大们,能不能拨冗指点迷津,
我真的很认真想很久了,只是我真的真的很需要帮助....
拜托有经验的大家,给我点建议与方向吧
谢谢!!!
