I thought this was a great article on the differences between collegiate level writing and high school writing. Moreover, it lays a groundwork for writing a paper. If only there was some way to convey these differences to our students in a way that they will understand without feeling discouraged. I think the weakness of the article is that it is very long, if I wanted to pass this on to a student I fear that the sheer length would deter them away from both reading it and/or finishing it. On the other hand, if we could manage to make this simpler or convert it into a series of short workshops for students then I think the content would be extraordinarily beneficial.

Descriptive research seeks to describe the current status of an identified variable or phenomenon. The researcher does not usually begin with an hypothesis, but is likely to develop one after collecting data. Analysis and synthesis of the data provide the test of the hypothesis. Systematic collection of information requires careful selection of the units studied and measurement of each variable in order to demonstrate validity.
