Article Writing Homework Help

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Research Critiques. It needs to be at least 5000 words. Questions asked of the students determined their understandings of plagiarism, the hardships they had to undergo to avoid plagiarism, and how they have learned to write without plagiarizing.iv

Phase two concerned the development of learning materials. The materials developed were evaluated with undergraduate psychology students, some of whom had participated in Phase one. Much like the focus groups in Phase one, the number of sessions was determined by the data.v The latter phase then incorporated the student feedback into the design of the learning materials.

The research design included a number of processes whereby feedback was ascertained from students and teaching staff, to ensure the applicability and usefulness of the materials and their responsiveness to students’ needs.

The results of the study stated in Phase one represented the students’ understandings of plagiarism particularly on defining plagiarism, difficulties in writing to avoid plagiarism, strategies to avoid plagiarism, and student suggestions for course improvement. The results in Phase two represented the development and evaluation of the learning materials. Based on the findings three tutorials and a ‘tip sheet’ were developed. The Tip sheet provided students with a practical guide on the definition of plagiarism and suggestions for its avoidance when writing [for this particular subject, psychology].vi Information is outlined on the following six areas: time management, note taking, critical reading, paraphrasing, referencing, and practice.

The researchers finally proposed learning materials that sees a number of advantages over alternate methods of plagiarism reduction: 1) The inclusion of the materials into an introductory unit is preventive rather than reactive. 2) Providing all students with materials as a component of the course is a universal rather than selective approach. vii 3) The materials can be easily adapted to alternative teaching modes of delivery such as print based external and online modes. 4) The materials can be incorporated into units without changing the assessment, official unit outlines, and so on. 5) Although the materials were developed for psychology students, the materials could be adapted to meet the needs of students in other schools and departments. and 6) Once the materials have been implemented into the course, their advantages can be sustained without further staff time commitment.

The researchers said the same cannot be said for the provision of additional tutorials, workshops, and programs outside of class time.
