W8 Reading Response
For this week Reading Response we read chapter 11 which is called “choosing and integrating evidence”. the whole chapter talks about evidence and how important is evidence when you are the writer. it gives a little background about paraphrasing and how it helps sometimes the writer when writing a paper when he or she doesn't want to use quotations he or she just rephrase the words with his/her own words. it also talks about visual evidence and how writers use it because they can use images, illustrations, tables, etc just to help the reader understand better.
The author talks a lot about personal evidence and how scholars and writers don't use personal opinion, instead of using their own knowledge or opinions they use “evidence from their research and from other in order to infuse credibility”.
The gif above its me thinking in what visual evidence i am going to use for the literature review that go with my topic.
This reading goes with my major because in the Business world because we use quantitative data which means that we use a lot of numbers. for example, companies and businesses may use statistical evidence to inform the owner or the personal about how they are performing on the quarter or year. this can be evidence from that years progress and then they could use it for the next year and compare to fix any problem within the company.
I think this reading will help me with the literature review because now I understand better why we needed to find two credible sources two weeks ago and not just a random place to look for information. also for the Lit Review I need a primary source and in my case I need a person that is related to the business world to interview, because if my paper is about business i am not going to ask a person who is a scientist because it would not be as credible as the other person.
for this paper we will have to find a lot of credible evidence about our topic. Something else that will help us is the MEAL plan, which stands for Meal, Evidence, Analysis, Link. it will help to shape the paragraphs so it can make sense and use evidence at the same time. what i liked about the meal plan is that if you write it correctly the whole paragraph will link, the analysis to the evidence and then to the main idea, and then if all the paragraphs follows this path and you use credible evidence you could have a really good research paper and in our case a very good literature review.
