The following is a good summary of what a discussion chapter does from HEA: A Discussion section should not be simply a summary of the results you have found and at this stage you will have to demonstrate original thinking. First, you should highlight and discuss how your research has reinforced what is already known about the area. Many students make the mistake of thinking that they should have found something new; in fact, very few research projects have findings that are unique. Instead, you are likely to have a number of findings that reinforce what is already known about the field and you need to highlight these, explaining why you think this has occurred. Second, you may have discovered something different and if this is the case, you will have plenty to discuss! You should outline what is new and how this compares to what is already known. You should also attempt to provide an explanation as to why your research identified these differences. Third, you need to consider how your results extend knowledge about the field. Even if you found similarities between your results and the existing work of others, your research extends knowledge of the area, by reinforcing current thinking. You should state how it does this as this is a legitimate finding! It is important that this section is comprehensive and well structured, making clear links back to the literature you reviewed earlier in the project. This will allow you the opportunity to demonstrate the value of your research and it is therefore very important to discuss your work thoroughly. The resources in this section of the Gateway should help you to: · interpret the research – the key to a good discussion is a clear understanding of what the research means. This can only be done if the results are interpreted correctly; · discuss coherently – a good discussion presents a coherent, well structured explanation that accounts for the findings of the research, making links between the evidence obtained and existing knowledge.
This week sucks. Many annoying things happened together. And I am not in themood.I dsecribe it trough of my state. I bought an acer laptop the day before yesterday.However,it is not easy impressively.First of all,I had to get anpermission from my elder brother whose moneyIam gona spend. Though I got a yes answer,his words hurt me very much.Besides,I donot know how long it takes me to get through his cursed words.Up now ,I have cried and been sad as soon as I think of what he said. Maybe he didn't mean that much and even forgort ,but it is the truth that I got hurt. He always cares muchabout money,seems more importantthan me.So does my dad. In order not to be criticized ,I 'd better not go home this spring vacation. The other two persons in my room sucks. I admit that ,at first in this semester,I did not think highly of them, maybe it is my fault if it matters.However,after what they have done everyday ,I feel it right not to think highly of them. Everyday Igo out and come back,busy doing my own things,almost taking them as nothing. However it does not work to the kind of people who cannot accept themselves as nobody by someone else,especially when theyare boring .And this is source of all conflicts in this room.Meantime they have done many dirty things,such as turning my conputer off , hanging up my phone,and frequent provocations. However,I can accept these tricks as nothingafterthey happened many times. people always say that if you want to earn others' places,you should earn your places in others. Seriously ,it is annoyed ,but I can handleit well.Sometimes,in face of narrow ,mean and jealous persons,thebest solution is tomake myself stronger.And it is comforting to know that I may have new roommates in the near future. About my work,it did not go on well. And this is not what I want.Something is wrong in this week. I tried my best ,and got some data ,but I am not satisfying .To some extent,I am tired of my work .And most of time ,I feel sleppy and exhausted. I cannot eventhink ,which makes me miserable and unaccepted.I hate it. In additions,I can handle myself very well. When I was in trouble,I called my friends and tried toget a solution. But now,it is no big deal,almost everything,I can take care of it,take care of myself.
Summary on the training course on Electronic Production of Agricultural Documents and Bibliographic Database Management in Beijing A 7-day training course, sponsored by the FAO Waicent ( http://www.fao.org/waicent ) and organized by the Literature and Information Centre of CAAS, was held in Beijing in October, 2003. People attending the training inlcuded about 30 information workers from more than 20 provincial academies of agricultural sciences and several agricultural universities. All the training courseswere given by Waicent officials and staffs in English. Prof. He, in Literature and Information Centre of CAAS, acted as the interpreter. After the training, everytraineewas required to write an evaluation on this training course in English. Several representatives were selected to talk about what they have gained from the training andwhat needs to be furtherly improved. The following is my commentary on this training. _____________________________ I can summarize this training course with three ‘ G’s: Good teaching contents, Good teachers, Good results. 1. About the teaching contents: The internet has brought about information revolution. It’s more convenient and quicker for people to get information. They don’t need to look up one book or one article through shelves to shelves of the holdings. They just need input several keywords, the title of onearticle or the book name,the names of the authors orotherinformation related to the book or the article, then they can immediately get the desired information only if the information can be available and accessible on the internet. So the important problem is how to let the information available and accessible. This training course has given presentation on many basic concepts related to web and database, online library, electronic publishing, such as the metadata, DTD, AGMES, HTML, XML, and on how to create XML or HTML files, and how to create Word Processing template, how to create a webpage using XML or HTML, how to conduct data exchange among different languages, how to retrieve information via internet or from the (FAO) Agris database and other online databases, and how to log in web agris and download information. 2. About the teachers and the teaching methods: All the teachers are so excellent. Although English is not their native language, they all can speak perfect English. They are expert at computer knowledge and operational skills, so they can solve any problemsimmediately during the class. And they have good teaching experience. They organize their materials very well and present them in well-designed slides with words and pictures, graphics, which greatly facilitate us to understand the contents. Johannes, Anne and Stefano are so patient and kind with us. We are very happy to be in the class and learn so much useful knowledge from them. 3. About the study results: Under the interesting topic “Electronic production of agricultural documents and bibliographic database management”, and under the teachers’ good presentation and guide, we have learned much. Through this training, I have learned how to retrieve information more effectively and efficiently, how to login the (FAO) database and retrieve information or provide data for the Web agris, how to create webpages with HTML. We have also learnt the work flow of the electronic publishing; the data (words, graphics, tables) processing, scanning, the transformation between different document types. ★ I also have some suggestions 1. Make the FAO Agris with richer information and try to provide as possible more abstracts for the readers; 2. Enlarge the subject thesaurus to facilitate the information indexing; 3. Organize more such kinds of training and have more information exchange among agricultural information service workers in the future.

Passed the thesis commence ceremony. Completed the rotation of three research groups. Science Writing: Wrote two chapters of book of one million Chinese words. Wrote two Apply forms of National Natural Science Foundation. Wrote the drafts of three SCI articles. Submited two new genes to Genebank. Team work: Help team members in experiments like molecular biology experiment and Bioinformatic analysis. Revised the SCI article drafts of the team members. Social Activities: Work as member of SMMU Graduate academic Activities committee: In charge of The academic forum of SMMU Graduates and hold four seminars. Help in the interview to Scientistabout their Academic Life . Help in the Donation after 5.12 Wenchuan Earthquake. Help in the Film Festival of Graduate academic Activities committee. So I can say my 2008is meaningful and I will do better in 2009.
