For those of you in Winnipeg right now - I'm glad we're having our "mild" temperatures now so you can have time to adjust! If you find you are having a hard time adjusting to the winter, please don't hesitate to reach out to our office - we love to give help and guidance for making sure students are dressed properly and how to cop with Winnipeg winters. :)

how to cope **!

what's the answer to the last poll?

your cat is sooo cute! :)

meow

I think that a cat should sound like Nyan~

yes

Yes

I have one, believe me, they don't do that, sadly

My cat will probably make a few more appearances :)

looking forward to it =)

don't mind at all :3

where you paraphrase do you still give credit to the source

Yes, paraphrases must be cited.

in some cases there is a doubt to whom the idea is credited to. So whom do I give the credit to?

whats the difference between summary of a particular research paper and its abstract?

To support my results if I have written a few lines summary based on 3-4 articles. In that case can I write in-text citation at end of the summary or after particular line?

Is there a writing center in UM where I can work with an advisor on my paper ?

Yes! Tutors and Instructors at the Academic Learning Centre can work with you. On your writing.

How are writting styles different from ome another?

All supports are online now.

Please ask about writing styles again at the end!

Could you please give some tips on writing a good abstract considering word limits.

can you send the link for signing up for writing tutors

Would it be fine to put a small number next to a piece of writing and referencing it at the end, like what Wikipedia does, or is that not APA style?

@Dumontet, regarding primary sources, What if the seccondary source worngly understood the primary source, would that be considered unintentional plagaisrisim ?or should I check the published copy of the primary source to check ?

Is it necessary to cite every sentence on my paper, like the paper on the slide?

What is the difference between Citing and Crediting?

In research article author should prefer using active voice or passive?

@neeraj whether you use passive or active voice depends on the field. In my field for example (psychology) we prefer active voice

@rishavjot Citing is a way to credit the source

@loie Thank you ma'am

For example

milley

For example

"for example"

supports the argument

evidence is he easiest one to understand

Could you talk more about analysis

How to identify an analysis sentences?

I didn't quite see the analysis in that text

Do we need to paste the link too?

how do I identify them?

This is kind of confusing

try to understand

may you please give an example of analysis from the previous text

Will our profs teach these or are we on our own?

Please could we have more sessions like these ?

Do we have to apply the same strategies in our assignments?

Honestly this session really helped me but I am still a little confused which I think is fine for first semester as an international student

Does the ALC have tutors for subjects other than writing and language related topics(e.g engineering, maths)?

looking for some more sessions like this one, it was very helpful

Glad it was helpful, please visit the Academic Learning Centre website for more workshops :)
