A greatly appreciate the database Web of Science. In this post, I show how I find literature with it.

This post is about how to avoid plagiarism when bringing direct quotes into your writing. TLDR: if you copy and paste 3+ words from any source, just put quotation marks around it and provide a page number citation, and nobody has to have a giant headache over your work.
Many students come to university without a strong grasp of academic writing style conventions. Some of them are also not well-known, such as around Indigenous peoples. Here I provide some of the rules of academic writing that are often assessed but not as often taught.
So the growth mindset (discussed in the previous post on this blog) says that you can improve your skills. But if you take a bit too much to that idea, you might burn out. Burning out meaning that you get so exhausted from trying to improve in many areas of your life that you get very anxious, depressed, stressed out, angry, etc. So yes, it is indeed the case that you can improve your skills at what you want to improve at. But it is also important, as you do that, to be kind to yourself.
This blog in general is premised on the idea that you can improve your skills. But what do we know about whether that is true?
