Can I Say I In A Research Paper?
Can I Say I In A Research Paper?Do you know what the most common question in research papers is? Why do students ask me this question? I think it's because they don't want to admit to having an opinion or interest in a topic. Some students don't even want to write a research paper.The number of opinions, values and experiences that exist has many people looking for a way to express themselves. This becomes problematic when something of substance is being passed from one hand to another. When these students ask me, I guess they're thinking, 'can I say I in a research paper?'What I mean by that is, can I say I in a research paper or not? Many universities have handbooks of intellectual conduct which outline such guidelines as how students should conduct themselves in a research paper. Students who ignore these rules could face serious sanctions or even expulsion.Not many college students know the importance of academic integrity. Being caught breaking such rules could have devastating effects on their future employment opportunities. So they seek a way to get around those rules so they can be able to express their opinions or have an interest.One interesting thing about all this is that they are less likely to get into college or get a good job once they graduate. There's just too much competition out there. We need to teach our students what's important in writing a research paper and what's not.But I also like to see students who did get into university research paper realize that their intentions were good. They did their research and were passionate about it, but never wanted to put it into words.As they write in their paper, they must be as clear as possible about what they think, how they feel, why they feel it and how their perspective changes in light of other viewpoints. They have to be consistent with their ideas. However, if they disagree with a point of view, they should be honest about their reasoning. If they want to include something they like in t heir paper, they must disclose what it is.Students like me are always asked about how they want to be in a research paper. I tell them, 'you can be almost anything you want to be, as long as you state your reasons for doing so.' The most important part of that question is, 'What are you trying to accomplish with your research?' Most of us do research just for fun.
