Document Summary
Writing tutorial 4: editing and revising: specific issues, weak thesis no clear stance, scope not appropriate. Be specific with theses and topic sentences; avoid vague statements. Maintain the focus; each paragraph should have one focus/one argument, make sure there are sentences linking seemingly separate arguments so as to tie everything together: lack of sufficient paraphrasing and summarizing (plagiarism?) Move large chinks or paragraphs around reorder, combine. Rewrite paragraphs, e. g. , introduction: editing: micro level, small details; to improve and/or correct minor errors. Altruism and prosocial behaviour: prosocial behaviour: behaviour whose immediate goal is to help or benefit others, can take many different forms: Altruism: prosocial behaviour motivated by the desire to benefit others for their own sake, rather than for personal rewards. Egoism: prosocial behaviour motivated by the desire for personal rewards (even if the reward is feeling good for having helped someone)
