商品簡介
《研究方法與論文寫作》內容簡介：The idea behind all this talk is first of all to train the mind to work in a scholarly way, to think and act as does a mature scholar. However, the scholarly mode of thinking and perception is not the exclusive copyright of the scholar. Its best features are seen in almost all the high achievers of all fields of activity. The first of these features is its emphasis on knowledge, or the state of being well-informed and up-to-date. Another feature is its methodial manner of doing things, being well-organized and following a rationale. The third feature, probably' the most important, is its striving tor originality, its determination to settle for nothing short of the best, which is the excellence of the highest order.
