What are "data commentaries"?

Data commentaries are some kinds of nonverbal information for the research paper. Table,graph and figure are the example of commentaries. There are some elements which were given in this article. The following elements are location elements, summary statements, highlighting statements, discussions of implications, problems,exceptions (Sweale & Feak, 1994, pg80)

In order to write a good commentaries, it's important to use proper words and phrases.

 For writing a thesis paper in graduate school, it's quite difficult to find out if the word is appropriate or not. I've learned we should not simply repeat the details on the table or graphs. If we try to cover all the information, it may cause some unjustified conclusions.

Response to Anderson,T.&Kanuka,H(2003)

This article was pretty helpful to me. It shows the importance of using literature review. "This chapter provides useful tips, hints and suggestions for maximizing the effectiveness of literature review proess."(Andersong,T&Kanuka,H,2003,pg54)

Uusually When I tried to find something what i wanted on the net, it didn't work out right for me. So most of the time I ended up asking my friends or use other tools to find out some information. But after reading this article, I was able to learn little bit about effective ways of searching.

"Obviously the more current the document the better, but old pages, like old wine, often have historical, if not legacy value!"(Anderson,T&Kanuka,H,2003,pg42)For me, this sentence means even though the newest documents or writing is better, all of information you get is important and valuable for your research paper. Once I get to know how to research, I will be ensure with five elements that are accessibility, timeliness, readability, relevance, and authority.
