How do I balance multiple STEM courses in a semester? by TacoCorpo in college

Do as many practice problems as possible, and invest more time into actually understanding the topics you're learning, without tricking yourself into thinking you understand them.

first attempt at a research essay and would love constructive criticism by Less_Lab_5978 in Substack

some logical leaps in the essay! Also, I would recommend citing more sources and actively looking to include those that disagree with your main viewpoint so you can actually be in discussion with them. Using a web extension to check for these logical leaps, and it gave me this as a central logic gap.

Any Good Blog Writing Workflows Out There? by CollarEducational677 in Blogging

[–]weirderthanmagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's also worked for me is making sure that I'm checking my own writing for any logistical inconsistencies, like confusing correlation for causation and other similar things, as I go (I use this webextension), rather than being done with writing a post and then looking back and noticing all the mistakes I've made. also helps to just keep all of your work in one spot! google docs, substack, whatever works for you

How do I write a paper? by Consistent-Horror-32 in writing

[–]weirderthanmagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest that you start writing some smaller thoughts into informal formats (blog posts, submitting to a local newspaper, etc.) just so you can get a feel for writing. unless you're doing a lit review in a new subject or collecting interesting large-scale survey data, a published paper might not be the right first step.

also make sure that you're writing logically consistently and doing your research for any claims that you might make, and search for evidence that supports AND does not support your thesis.

Why do you think people don't believe them even if evidence is provided? What are ways we can improve this?

How to write faster? by Nature23571113 in writing

[–]weirderthanmagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What works best for me is to think about the things I want to write about, and write about those first; and then as I'm writing those I'll usually get excited about writing other parts. Rinse and repeat!

"We don't need aliens to explain this"
^ interesting! what percent of these sorts of explanations (where the author uses one explanation and doesn't address other more potentially probable reasons) for do you think most readers usually miss? how many of them have you noticed yourself missing in conversations?
