=== Week 7: May 13 β Introduction & Conclusion: End up at the beginning === * [[Practice_of_scholarship_(Spring_2019)/Week 7 session plan|Session plan]] '''Reading:''' * Little, Andrew T. 2016. "[http://www.andrewtlittle.com/papers/little_intros.pdf Three Templates for Introductions to Political Science Articles]." Manuscript, Cornell University. * Revisit the Week 2 readings and/or (if you're working on a systems paper) the Zhang reading from Week 6. All have valuable tips on writing effective introductions and (in some cases) conclusions. '''Assignment:''' * Pick two articles (two from one or one from each) from the [https://academic.oup.com/joc/issue/69/2 April, 2019 issue] of ''Journal of Communication'' (Volume 69, Issue 2) OR [https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3173574 CHI 2018] (or CHI 2019 if the proceedings appear in time). ** If you choose CHI pieces, try to pick a full paper that won an award. Please do not choose a Note or a Panel or something else that is not a full, peer reviewed paper. * Read the Introduction and Conclusion for both articles (ideally, don't read anything else β not even the abstract!) and prepare responses to the following questions (no need to submit): #Briefly summarize the papers' respective central claims, evidence, and contributions in your own words. #According to Little's templates (See above), what type of introduction does each paper have? #For your favorite of the two, identify something you think it does well in the introduction and something you think it does well in the conclusion. Justify these choices/preferences. #For the same article (your favorite), what suggestions would you make to the author(s) for improving the introduction? the conclusion? #What can you take away from this favorite article for introducing/concluding your own work? * Write an introduction for your project and submit it to [https://canvas.northwestern.edu/courses/91705/discussion_topics/597422 the corresponding "Discussion" on Canvas]. Keep the Introduction under 600 words. Have it reflect your anticipated findings and contribution (from last week's assignment). * Provide feedback on your partner's Introduction.
