Convey our work in an appropriate way

helps me to understand multiple persepctives

To convince the reader about research problem

for Academic papers

It’s necessary as part of my research

To It demonstrates an opinion about academic work to inform research formulation. Getting the question right, appropriate to the need of the research

Finding gaps in knowledge

Challenges existing assumptions and provides a deeper understanding

It helps to concisely write and make arguement

As a process to inform/understand

for thesis or paper

It allows me to elucidate important and accurate information from my readings

Peter from Ballarat, 1y PhD, spatio-temporal soil moisture at sub-paddock level - Ag Research

Being comprehensive in my thinking

My supervisor is a literacy guru and I have a high bar to hit :)

to make my writing structure better

It has to be evaluative not descriptive

it includes analysis and not just a description

draws different sources together in a meaningful way

evaluate other's contribution in a critical manner

Integrated knowledge

backed by facts...

building arguments

Finding the author position and finding our own position with strong arguments and evidences

Helpful and congruent to tasks

can it be critical without any of the other 3?

broke it down in a simple and very informative way.. thank you

Can you miss the persuasive level - as in take a position in relation to the other position?

when is the lit review workshop?

yes

All good here

Sound is clear

All good here

yes

yes

Yes

Yes

Audio’s all clear

all good

its good

can everyone post their question to "all panellists and attendees" because we missed some questions directed to panellist only

i don't see all the questions though so can you read them out in full

Isabella you can watch the LR workshop online - it was recorded

How about systematic review workshop?

where can the LR workshop be found online?

It is more descriptive

analytical

descriptive, analytical and persuasive

or maye the first sentence makes it persuasive

descriptive

descriptive

critical

critical

Analytical

persuasive

analytical

I think the first sentence is descriptive then it moves to a persuasive voice

descriptive and persuasive

persuasive

There are references to other authors.

There are 2 references but it is not critical. Because it's not giving an argument.

persuasive

two references but no own opinion

yes, on the last sentence

not critical yes

potentially important

yes they have last line

potentially important and might

building towards a claim in last sentence

Thus, potentially the absence of the 70 kDa SUK4 kinesin and the twist of the central pair microtubules in tcp1 may be related.

Yes at the end.

last line

is that tentative language? :)

thanks

Could it be just a hypothesis instead of a claim?

could we do one more

Yes do one more please. Thanks.

yes, one more please

one more

,aybe one more quickly

keen to practice again

critical

analytical?

Text C is descriptive

B critical

It is descriptive as well as analytical

Analytic

Text B - critical

critical

text B is analytical

Text B seems critical to me

B analytical C descriptive

analytical

text B critical

i wonder if the last sentence makes it persuasive? but otherwise analytical

critical

Text B Analytical: summarises other research and makes a judgment

B - critical C - descriptive

critical

B critical C descriptive

c Descriptive

I’m voting descriptive

Text C is descriptive

analytical

C: descriptive

text is descriptive

Text C is descriptive.

text c descriptive

B: Critical

B- did not consider, are likely to have contributed

“Did not consider”

it is just saying there may be a lack of data

Phongsava, Merom et al (2004) did not consider household

but its not criticising authors' stances per se

B - Critical, includes author’s voice of “…..are likely to have contributed to the lack of consensus…

are likely to have contributed to

identified gap and mixed findings and evaluating why may be so

b: persusivec: descriptive

what is persuasive in B

Yes, makes sense and very useful tool

all good

am good but still difficult to identify the various types

How do you distinguish between a persuasive piece that is using alternative arguments to emphasise/support the author’s claim and actual critical writing where it’s a presentation of multiple positions? I.e. how much ‘critical language’ needs to be present for the piece to be considered critical?

so finding a GAP is enough to be critical??? it doesn't actually have to engage with other authors' ideas/claims???

Critical and Analytical seems confusing

analytical don't have own opinion

I think I find this piece confusing because I just thought it was explaining why there is a gap in literature

versus engaging and critically analysing other scholars' ideas...

I agree with you Valentina

That’s why I went for the descriptive option. I see the other point of view though

thank you Danielle :) I feel less dumb now ;)

Critical and Analytical seems confusing - i agree with this

no it was more confusing between analytical versus critical

it seems its a fine line between the two

C: makes a claim without argument…therefore still persuasive not just written well?

or at the same time, these people didn't identify this and that...

what about comparing the two ideas?

ok, thanks a million

sorry to be a pain

dicriptive

no

no its just descriptive isn't it

does say its 'suitable' - so taking a position??

so with critical writing even if it is a sentence so show your opinion in your lit review?

C - descriptive

text c: analytical

a suitable framework- own voice?

Suitable

No I don't think so.

It’s not enough explanation of why it’s a suitable framework

C: Descriptive, no analysis part

text C could be either descriptive or analytical depends on the original model of Gnyawali & Fogel

Extracted from the words of Watson and Crick (Nobel prize winners for DNA discovery): "It has not escaped our notice that the specific pairing that we have postulated immediately suggests a possible copying mechanism for the genetic material."

So B is critical and C is analytical, right?

if text C is paraphrasing the model, means text C is descriptive. But, if text C is a grouping from the model and present the factors as group, means text C is analytical

Is the whole thesis, as in all the chapters supposed to be critical or just the literature review?

where can we find the other workshops recorded online?

will we go through examples of writing for the difference between persuasive writing and critical writing?

Isabella, if you go on the CRC home page, you will find a link to recorded webinars

under the EDUCATION tab there is a link to webinars, scroll down and there will be another link to "older entries"

You can get the recordings for previous webinars from our website https://www.digitalhealthcrc.com/webinars/

thank you found it

if there are 2 different claims (not include my claim), is this critical or persuasive?

great ;)

it is quiet difficult to navigate and search to find previous webinars

You can get the recordings for previous webinars from our website https://www.digitalhealthcrc.com/webinars/

Can you give us access to an annotation of what makes the other example texts critical, persuasive, analytical or descriptive?
