Thanks a lot... 3years old but still pretty impactful. I got a 15 pager due in 2days and i haven't done anything. prolly coz it's my first ever. The video did calm me and straight up just explained what i need to do. I ain't gonna try to do all a once thanks to this.

From newbie to actually getting your idea on a paper in a manageable way. So good!

Also, the humor and the jokes amid the video makes it more fun to watch.

Fun fact; It took me 3hrs or thereabout to finish watching... And it was woth it all the way.

👏

Thank you for this insightful video! This is not my first time writing a research paper, but every time I try to start one, I always end up being lost in a rabbit hole. Now I know what I have to do!

Thanks! I have a 15 page research paper to do. I think I am scared it will not make sense. It sounds funny but that's the reason I haven't even started.
I sometimes feel I don't have what it takes to write academically. And all those references and citations even annoy and confuse me more.

Your farmer's market example was good though.
Thanks.

I was expecting that intro to cut to a lower-fidelity version for a few seconds and then back again. dang freaky ears on a stick

[aurelmuresan]

I’m wondering how much time do you invest in each step…
And how do you assure the so called “originality” of your papers/topics…
