Now I am coaching my senior daughter for her study.

Correctly, I am instructing how to write a summary report of a paper.

I am afraid that she is stuck seriously.

-----

This time, I know that papers of school of humanities(including infant psychology) are different from that of science(including industry engineering) perfectly.

When I read a paper of infant psychology, I was really confused.

"Is this a paper ?"

For a paper of industrial engineering field, we have to write effects in the paper, even if it is not true.

For example, social effect(e.g. help more than million people), economical effect(e.g decrease in cost less than 1/10) or functional performance(e.g. 100 times faster)

About this issue, the meeting for reading research papers in Anime "Since science human fell in love, so they try to prove it" is very helpful to understand.

So I thought, in the papers of infant psychology, I tried to find the following sentences.

- Contribution for infant communal life (cost)

- Proposal for the different educational policy based ont their age.

- Proper contents for infant education (e.g. picture books)

However. no sentence was in the paper.

I confirmed that

If I write a paper like this, my boss will panch me, and I will also panch my subordinate"

-----

I felt bad that the paper has few figures or tables and the authors seemed to try to explain kust sentences.

My daughter said that her faculty adviser said

- write sentences without itemization

- hold figures or tables to a minimum

and I was really surprised

In our engineering field, we take an approach to make figures and tables first, and after that I make a sentence to explain the figures and tables.

This is common way for reports, manuals and patent applications.

and my columns too.

-----

"This is a real "cross-culture gap""

with being overcome by deep emotion.

On the other hand,

"Can I instruct my daughter about review of papers? I just know engineering approach"

I come to be assailed with worries.
