May 2013

Living on my own has been an eye opener. There are apartments where you cannot bring your ADSL with you, which is by far the biggest obstacle in the budget. Mobile internet is unfortunately too slow and costly for someone who is renting. I have tried Kogan Mobile (MVNO) but they like to reactivate dead sim card then charge you without authorisation, just because they happen to have your details on their system. Yet to get around sampling iiNet mobile internet in the coming months, once I actually get my hands on the sim card, as it still has not arrived since 1st April 2013. Drag when you order physical item online and they fail to arrive compared to purchasing the physical item from a retail store.

My studies are swimming along just dandy. Lots of reading to catch up though. Life issues is the biggest distraction in my study period. If only, things were simpler.

January 2013

Thesis, thesis, and more thesis. Learning to develop better thesis statement was no easy task for someone who was not familiar with writing one. In the past, lecturers would hand out a list of topics and we would fight it out. After we have finally settled on a topic. We would read up on books, newspapers, journals, and write an essay. At no point were we advised to write up a thesis statement. Often we would write up our first main point in our introduction before filling in the gaps of the essay. A lecturer once commented on my class mate's essay was equivalent to a dog's breakfast. You could say essay writing skills was not well taught in the 1990s. However, much has changed in the last decade. My latest class has proven to be very useful and relevant in essay writing, to the point where I enjoy writing a thesis statements. I think, I am on the right track. Encapsulating all the arguments in concise manner into one sentence has been challenging to do. To keep myself on track. I have decided to keep notes on my blog, so that I can read it at anytime and anywhere. I hope you will find it useful too.

Tip: a thesis is a declarative sentence that takes a stance.

Tip: The thesis statement must assert your point, suggest your evidence, and structure your argument, all in one. This is necessary for a good reason. If you can summarize your paper in one sentence, you’re more likely to have a tightly-constructed, concise, and readable essay.

Tardiff, Elyssa and Allen Brizze. 2011. Tips and Examples for Writing Thesis Statements. http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/545/01/

Tip: An argumentative paper makes a claim about a topic and justifies this claim with specific evidence. The claim could be an opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. The goal of the argumentative paper is to convince the audience that the claim is true based on the evidence provided.
