Certainty & Uncertainty in thesis & research writing: Hedges and Boosters

This video is for doctoral and master's students writing for publication or preparing a research thesis/dissertation. We look at hedges and boosters. These are words we use in academic writing to show certainty and uncertainty. Uses hedges or boosters is a key part of academic style and this video will be useful for any section of a thesis or research paper but particularly the literature review.

Thank your for sharing this valuable video. Your efforts and academic generosity are much appreciated. YOU SEEM UNDOUBTEDLY VERY COMPETENT. Opt for booster to understand my evaluation hhh. I like hedging; we are actually never sure of the findings. Methodological mistakes can happen in each step of the research design. Some teachers see hedging as a kind of useless redundancy in writing. Personally, I agree that we should strike a shrewd balance between them. Thanks again for giving me more confidence for choosing any of them.
