Tips for Writing in CSD from Professor Velleman<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here are some tips straight from Professor Shelley Velleman, who serves as the Chair for the Communication Sciences and Disorders Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is one thing that students must never forget when writing papers for CSD?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Be ethical! Don\u2019t plagiarize: cite all sources, making sure that you are really citing the correct source. Make sure you give credit to all authors, not just the first one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes writing for CSD unique from writing in other subjects?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It is clinical writing, which means you must be clear, precise, concrete, organized, and focused. We don\u2019t value \u201cflowery\u201d writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes you go “wow” when reading a paper, in a good way? In a bad way?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When students have applied concepts from class to what they are writing about \u2013 correctly \u2013 I am very pleased. When they just take words or phrases from the source and stick them together somehow it\u2019s obvious that they don\u2019t understand what they\u2019re writing about. In short: Using big words or long sentences doesn\u2019t impress me; writing clearly does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can make a good paper great?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When students really \u201cmake the information their own\u201d by presenting ideas from their sources, the class, other classes, etc. in a way that shows their understanding. That includes comparing and\/or integrating ideas from different sources, not just describing each source one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite database for online data and research?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It really depends on the nature of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the goal of any CSD paper?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Convey relevant information in a way that is clear, precise, concrete, organized, and focused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any last advice for students writing for a CSD class?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I find that some students think it\u2019s better to write long complicated sentences with big words in them. It\u2019s not!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
