I teach in an Adult Education program and our standards include getting students ready for college as well as passing a high school equivilancy test. I like your videos because they are very clear to my students. Also, I like your tech skills. I thought you were using Second Life (I only looked at your channel today). Very cool.

[@Rumaiza-si1vb]

Hello sir, Can u plz tell how to write factors identifying in exploratory research in thesis.. In paragraph or in points?

[@sayedakrambarez8442]

Thanks for the very good videos,in an academic writing where to bring a paraphrased material and where to bring direct quotes?

[@peakdavid]

The number of quotations allowed varies according to the discipline you are writing in. In the scientific disciplines, you rarely see any direct quotations. In the humanities, quotes are allowed but not to exceed 10% of the original.

Hey, I'm really enjoying this video - very timely. However, your link to the Reporting Verbs is giving me a Google "access denied" page. Can you check your links? Thanks so much!

[@peakdavid]

Thanks. When you click on the link, you should see the option to request access to the document. That will send me an email and I will approve access. I'll work on making it more open.

You're great professor. Is your discipline HRM

I wish my students will just watch when I put these up. They don't even look at them and then they tell me I am too hard on them.

I hear you. Maybe if I made them more entertaining? Also, I need to read less word-for-word.
