Chapter 17 and The Ethics of Research

Chapter 17 talks about revising, and especially about sentence structure. Shaping your sentences so that the reader can understand your argument is incredibly important to make your argument come across clearly. You must present your essay clearly and concise, and Chapter 17 helps to break down sentences so you can do just that. 'The Ethics of Research' mainly concludes the book and wraps up everything the authors have said up until this point. It gives you a couple commandments to follow as going through your research (basically reminders not to do anything unethical), and advises you on the social part of research. When you research, you research for the community, and and dishonest act you perform reflects on them as a whole, not only on yourself. Research is not only for you, but for the society, and sharing it is key to progressing it in the future.
I wasn't overly crazy about Chapter 17, because it was a lot of grammar. It was interesting in the way they explained breaking down sentences to really strengthen your argument, but it was mainly stuff that I already knew. It still had some good input that I will keep in mind while forming my sentences and revising my work. 'The Ethics of Research' was a reminder not to plagiarize, which I know already, thank you very much. I liked the motivational suggestions that research was for the community though, it was a good attempt to make me want to write!
