Integrate signed evidence

hello nice to see you again today we're discussing how to integrate evidence into your writing evidence takes the form of data quotes paraphrase or summary it looks very different depending on the context in which you're writing and the Disciplinary perspective that you're using to approach your writing so we're gonna try to think about this from a variety of different possible disciplines let's first think about why do academic writers use evidence just several of the most important reasons are that they use it so that they can can can do research academic writing is about an ongoing conversation engaging with the work of others and evidence enables you to show that you are actually working really closely with with other writers and other ideas we also as academic writers want to advance knowledge so the evidence we use I think should show that this is what has happened before this is where we're maybe heading and this is why I think we're heading there right so you're using it to advance knowledge you also use it to make arguments if you make a claim often you'll need to show why you are making that claim and how you arrived at that conclusion so that you can so that other people will will have more faith in what you have to say and finally just from a writerly perspective it adds variety you are exciting to read and listen to but it's always a little more exciting if you can add other voices into your writing too so for for just the logistical reason of adding variety to your writing it adds variety using evidence effectively this is one of two slides that we'll discuss it this is in general the the reasons why you would use evidence and how did how to do it most effectively when you use evidence you want to try to use it in a way that's honest and generous and by honest I mean well let's think about what's dishonest what would be kind of dishonest or at least questionably ethical be what we might be familiar with in some political contexts where somebody's words are taken out of context or a little clip from a sentence is taken and then used for kind of an alternative viewpoint and and that's kind of not in a generous honest honest spirit in academic writing you wanna you want to think about you don't want to try to catch people with the three words of one sentence that they said that maybe works against a larger point so you want it you want to try to be as honest as possible and also as generous as possible so you it's quite reasonable for you to take other writers to task for arguments that they make but but you wouldn't want to nitpick about every single sentence or or small sentences and then sometimes you might but anyways you want to try to be as...
