In the description of a research paper outline it is said that the whole thing should have the maximum length of 3-4 pages. Are we supposed to count in the bibliography, too?

Revision as of 13:44, 14 August 2008

Hallo, I try to find these examples for the term paper project and I can't find them! Can somebody show me where they are!?

Thanks--Lena Stüttelberg 16:49, 23 July 2008 (CEST)

Hi. Do you mean this one? http://www.wiki.uni-oldenburg.de/fk3/angl-am/index.php?title=BM1_-_Introduction_to_Literature_-_Assignment_4:_Research_Paper_Outline
It's from the last summer semester. Verena Engelhardt 19:03, 23 July 2008 (CEST)
Vielleicht könnt Ihr die Tutoren letzten Jahres oder Studenten letzten Jahres dazu bewegen, Ihre Assignments in wiki-Dateien zu setzen und zu verlinken. Ich finde es gut, wenn die Nächsten von den Letzten lernen --Olaf Simons 19:06, 23 July 2008 (CEST)
Meinst Du das Anlegen einer neue Wiki-Seite oder das Hochladen einer z.B. schreibgeschützte doc. Datei auf den Server und dann zu verlinken? Verena Engelhardt 19:11, 23 July 2008 (CEST)


Thank you very much for the link, but are there excamples I mean real text that somebody wrote as a work in progress?--Lena Stüttelberg 11:53, 29 July 2008 (CEST)


In that link it says that all participants will be asked to go on a meeting especially for the research paper outline, when will that be or did already do that in one of the meetings on tuesday morning?

Dear Lena, Sorry for that piece of obsolete information - I have just canceled it. As we have included discussions about the RPO within the individual course sessions, the counseling tutorials were skipped this semester. Check the following example of a research paper outline. Please, bear in mind that the text is meant to be a general guidance, not necessarily a perfect model. For more ideas, also look up samples from student assignments 1-3 on the respective assignment discussion pages. Best, Anna Auguscik 12:17, 29 July 2008 (CEST)


Thank you so much, that example helps me a lot to just know in what way the whole thing has to be done! --Lena Stüttelberg 16:34, 1 August 2008 (CEST)


Are we supposed to give secondary literature for every part of our table of contents?

Not necessarily. You have to find enough to justify your question. We are looking for a - promising - basis on which you could begin your work. --Olaf Simons 13:23, 2 August 2008 (CEST)

I have a problem by finding articles in the MLA about Fight Club. The page always gives me the information that there are no articles. Can I please get a hint what I am doing wrong? I remember from writting my excerpt about King Lear last semester that using the MLA was pretty simple. Hm. Last semester the page was linked from the wikki. I don't find that link anymore. Maybe my mistake is that I googled it and did not enter the page from the university wikki account? Or is it true that there are no articles?

Have you seen the information Anna collected - at: David Fincher (dir.), Fight Club (1999 film) - the MLA is not the best tool to find articles in the field of film studies, I regret... --Olaf Simons 16:08, 4 August 2008 (CEST)
Yes, I've seen these articles and they helped a little. The problem is that my topic seems to be not discussed before. It is quiet difficult for me to build a breathtaking bibliography or at least one that counts more than three references. Well, I will find a solution.
There is nothing abnormal in a topic with little research. You begin with a reflection why there is so little research (and if there exists research in another field with results you can use). It is actually not all that bad to open research in a field where little has been done before (as long as you can promise something interesting). --Olaf Simons 12:08, 5 August 2008 (CEST)


Are we supposed to write a title as a question or like Anna did it in a sentence?--Lena Stüttelberg 17:16, 11 August 2008 (CEST)

A good title arouses my interest - there is no further rule. --Olaf Simons 19:51, 11 August 2008 (CEST) - well "decently" one might add...

If we only use aa chapter of a book do we first give the name of the book and then the chapters title or first the chapters title and than the bookname? I can't really figure out on the style sheet!

If the book has several authors you quote it according to the style sheet (article of an author within a book) - if it is one author you can quote his book and conclude with Chapter 3, p.56-78. --Olaf Simons 19:26, 13 August 2008 (CEST)
