What are “transitions”?

2005-04-05T17:39:43Z

Theenan: /* Works Cited */

In both academic writing and professional writing, the goal is to relay information clearly and effectively, if not to convert the reader to your way of thinking. Transitions help you to suceed in these goals. Transitions establish logical connections between sentences, paragraphs, and sections of a paper. Transitions tell the reader what to do with the information that is presented to them. Whether single words, quick phrases or full sentences, transitions function as signs for readers that tell them how to think about, organize, and react to old and new ideas as they read through what is written.

==Organization==

* The clarity and effectiveness of transitions depend on the organization of the paper.
* In the margins of the draft it is good to summarize a word and how it fits into analysis as a whole. This exercise should help to see the order of and connection between your ideas more clearly.(Writing)

==Types of Transitions==

===Transitions between sections===

* Particulary in longer works, it may be necessary to include transitional paragraphs that summarize for the reader the information just covered.(Writing)

===Transitions between paragraphs===
* Takes the topic sentence of the first paragraph and molds it with the topic sentence of the second paragraph. The transition between paragrahs can be a word or two, a phrase, or a sentence.(Writing)

===Transitions within paragraphs===
* Transitions withing paragraphs act as cues by helping readers to anticipate what is coming before they read it. Within paragraphs, transitions are usually single words or short phrases.(Writing)

==Transitional Expressions==

* Effectively constructing each transition often depends upon the ability to identify words or phrases that will indicate for the reader the kind of logical realationships you want to convey.(Panguin)
===Examples===
* Similarity- also, in the same way, likewise (Hacker)
* Sequence- first, second, third, next, finally (Hacker)
* Emphasis- even, indeed, in fact, of course, truly (Hacker)
* Conclusion- finally, in brief, in conclusion (Hacker)

What is a “run-on” sentence?

2005-03-24T18:31:51Z

Theenan: /* Run-on sentences */

== Run-on sentences ==
Run-on sentences, also known as "fused sentences", contain two independent clauses, either of which can stand by itself. When these two independent clauses are connected by a comma, it is known as a '''comma splice'''. When there is no comma, these clauses become harder to recognize. Another point about run-on sentences is that it really doesn't matter about the length of the sentence. A run-on can be a very short sentence, such as, ''Nothing is on television I should turn it off''. Just because a sentence is very long, though, it does not necessarily mean that it is a run-on. On one of the works I have cited below will have a link to a 239 word sentence. This quite long sentence is strucually correct, although it is not something you might want to use too much on papers or on-line entries.

There are, of course, many ways to avoid a run-on sentence. A really easy way to join the two independent clauses together is by a '''semicolon'''. When using a semicolon, though, you must remember that the two ideas have to be closely related to one another. The other way to join the two independent clauses without having a run-on is to use either coordinating conjunctions or subordinating conjunctions.

== Coordinating Conjunctures ==

When using a coordinating conjunction, remeber this pattern [independent clause/ comma/ coordinating conjuntion/ indpendent clause]. Below is a list of ways to use coordinating conjunctures.

*Use ''and'' to indicate the addition of the second independent clause.
*Use ''but'' or ''yet'' to indicate contrast between two independent clauses.
*Use ''or'' to indicate a choice or alternative between two independent clauses.
*Use ''for'' to indicate that the second independent clause is the cause of the first.
*Use ''so'' to indicate that the second independent clause is the result of the first.

== Subordinating Conjunctures ==

With subordinating conjunctures, there are two patterns you can use. The first [independent clause/subordinating conjuncture/independent clause] and the second is [subordinating conjuncture/independent clause/comma/independent clause]. Here are some ways to use subordinating conjunctures:
*Use ''after, before, once, until, when,'' and ''where'' to indicate time relationships.
*Use ''because'' and ''since'' to indicate a reason.
*Use ''if'' to indicate cause and effect.
*Use ''unless'' to indicate a negative cause and effect.
*Use ''although'' and ''(even) though'' to indicate "in spite of".

Talk:What are “transitions”?

2005-03-24T18:17:43Z

Theenan:

Good so far. Be sure you are citing all of your sources and providing a section for external links. Proofread some of your sentences for clarity. --[[User:Glucas|Glucas]] 11:05, 20 Oct 2004 (EDT)

The examples could be a little clearer.
-Amberly Keough

The entry is understandable and easy to read. There are a few errors with the bullets. D Davis

great wiki. easy to read. check for mistakes
-Daniel Epps

Very helpful Lit wiki. I liked how you use a lot of bullets and headings. It made important things stand out.
-Whitney Behel

This entry is organized and to the point. Anthony Jones

Page could use a bit more information. There are some errors, especially when the author was listing points.
-Terence Heenan

Talk:What is “wordiness”?

2005-03-24T18:14:36Z

Theenan:

The word states (you spelled it "state's") is spelled incorrectly.Clarify, or try to simplify facts.
-Amberly Keough

Define the first list for word choice and wordiness. The point was stated clearly through the paper.
-Robert Bartosh

If you stated what wordiness and redundency are, the topic would be a lot easier to understand. Your examples were helpful. You may want to space some of the different subjects out so certain topics will stand out.
-Whitney Behel

This entry is put together well. The grammer is good. The entry is staight to the point. D Davis

check wiki to revise page. ok
daniel Epps

The entry could use a table of contents. You gave all the right info that you needed. If you use headings to break up your sections it will be more friendly to the scrolling eye.- Dave Burkert

Liked usage of lists in this one. There were a few errors to look over. Might go a little more in-depth.
-Terence Heenan

Talk:What is “redundancy”?

2005-03-24T18:11:46Z

Theenan:

I like the way yours was broken into certain sections. You were clear and it caught my attention. You could maybe do a few more examples.-Amberly Keough

The entry was well cited and has a lot of great information. You could add links to other pages. Add a table of contents to the entry so that a person could go directly to a part about redundancy they want to read about. You have good examples and with some quick fixes it will be a good entry. - Dave Burkert

THis entry is very to the point. It has alot of good imformation. D Davis

This article had a lot of good information and examples. Didn't like how the page was seperated though.
-Terence Heenan

Talk:What is the “passive voice”?

2005-03-24T18:06:20Z

Theenan:

You may want to explain what passive voice is a little clearer. I like how you stated when passive voice should be used. That topic was very helpful. You might want to open up the first paragraph in a way simialar to how you exlpained possessive tense.
- Whitney Behel

Do something to grab the readers attention. Nothing on this paper grabed my attention while scrolling it.
-Robert Bartosh

The entry is kind of wordy. It needs to get to the point quicker.
But over all the rest of the entry is clear and easy to use.
D Davis

This entry is full of information. However it does not keep my attention. Anthony Jones

This article needs a bit more structure to it. It just seemed too sparadic. Just bring it a bit more together.
-Terence Heenan

+ This entry is full of information. However it does not keep my attention. Anthony Jones

Talk:What is “tone”?

2005-03-24T17:59:38Z

Theenan:

Try to make the sections a little more brief and to the point. Paragraphs of information do not catch the eye and make you want to read it, but try to bullet or bold information. These make the eye stop and read what is going on. You have great information within the wiki, but you just need to make it more appealing to eye. Think of it as you were scrolling the page quickly. What would catch your eye? Overall just need little revision.

Dave Burkert

This entry is full understandable ways of using tone in writting. The entry is also put together clearly. D Davis

Very good Lit wiki. You had a lot of information on what tone was. The examples were also very helpful. You may need to do a little revising.
-Whitney Behel

Very good article. Could not find any errors in it. Full of information and easy to understand.
-Terence Heenan

Talk:What is the difference between possessives and plurals?

2005-03-24T17:56:27Z

Theenan:

This was a well written article. I feel that all of the headings and following material for each one was a great style for it. Good job on citing the works, too.
-Terence Heenan

Talk:How do I know when I need to use a comma?

2005-03-24T17:50:23Z

Theenan:

There were a few spelling errors,specifically hamster and together. Another thing is the paragraph before the eight rules could be narrowed slightly. I thought this was a good entry.
-Amberly Keough

I liked how you use the example to explain how to use the commas correctly. Check over your first paragraph you may want to re-word some of the sentences. Very helpful Lit wiki.
-Whitney Behel

This article was well written and informative. There seemed to be very few spelling and grammar errors. This entry could have used some more works to cite.
-Terence Heenan

When using a coordinating conjunction, remeber this pattern [independent clause/ comma/ coordinating conjuntion/ indpendent clause]. Below is a list of ways to use coordinating conjunctures.
Coordinating Conjunctures:
*Use ''and'' to indicate the addition of the second independent clause.
*Use ''but'' or ''yet'' to indicate contrast between two independent clauses.
*Use ''or'' to indicate a choice or alternative between two independent clauses.
*Use ''for'' to indicate that the second independent clause is the cause of the first.
*Use ''so'' to indicate that the second independent clause is the result of the first.

With subordinating conjunctures, there are two patterns you can use. The first [independent clause/subordinating conjuncture/independent clause] and the second is [subordinating conjuncture/independent clause/comma/independent clause]. Here are some ways to use subordinating conjunctures:
*Use ''after, before, once, until, when,'' and ''where'' to indicate time relationships.
*Use ''because'' and ''since'' to indicate a reason.
*Use ''if'' to indicate cause and effect.
*Use ''unless'' to indicate a negative cause and effect.
*Use ''although'' and ''(even) though'' to indicate "in spite of".

== Run-on sentences ==
Run-on sentences, also known as "fused sentences", contain two independent clauses, either of which can stand by itself. When these two independent clauses are connected by a comma, it is known as a comma splice. When there is no comma, these clauses become harder to recognize. Another point about run-on sentences is that it really doesn't matter about the length of the sentence. A run-on can be a very short sentence, such as, ''Nothing is on television I should turn it off''. Just because a sentence is very long, though, it does not necessarily mean that it is a run-on. On one of the works I have cited below will have a link to a 239 word sentence. This quite long sentence is strucually correct, although it is not something you might want to use too much on papers or on-line entries. There are, of course, many ways to avoid a run-on sentence.

*Use ''after, before, once, until, when,'' and ''where'' to indicate time relationships.
*Use ''because'' and ''since'' to indicate a reason.
*Use ''if'' to indicate cause and effect.
*Use ''unless'' to indicate a negative cause and effect.
*Use ''although'' and ''(even) though'' to indicate "in spite of".
