 * Writing Resources/Tips:**


 * I thought that this was a helpful resource to help improve my sentence variation: [] I know the Owl has been shared a lot but as we write our book reports, it may be helpful to focus on improving sentence variation!


 * I thought this was an interesting resource -- we need to write a lot to improve our writing....[]


 * This is a website I found with a lot of links for different parts of writing for PhD candidates - it has some videos to view and some links to other resources that may be helpful: []


 * [] This is an interesting club -- the Academic Writing club -- it could be used if you don't have the luxury of taking Dr. Bhattacharya's class with the writing retreats. It is designed as an accountability tool. I keep hearing from friends that it is really difficult to stay focused and accountable to writing and this may be helpful when it comes to that point for me. It does have a cost but it is cheaper than paying academic credits or wasting a semester or year not making Assistant Professor wages...


 * I've only heard great things about Grammar Girl - let's be honest, there are times when there are some really basic things that we need to review with grammar so that people believe we are in graduate school :) []


 * Here's an infographic with some super basic words and rules that can get confusing - I found it at this website: []


 * This is a quick read about academic voice: []. I like that it starts out by saying, "Academic voice does not mean stiff, cold, or robotic writing, nor should it entail overly complex senetence constructions that hide the true meaning of the sentence." It gives a few guidelines and tips for starting to write and leaves you feeling capable of finding your academic voice.


 * Cute or maybe cheesy video from Ted Ed about plagiarism in your writing: []


 * There are MOOCs available that can support our writing skill development - one resource for this is Coursera. The classes are free but they do have start and end dates so you need to have some foresight in when you would like to take the class so you can sign up. []


 * Qual-specific Resources:**
 * [|https://www.maxwell.syr.edu/moynihan/cqrm/About_CQRM/] This website is for the Consortium on Qualitative Research Methods -- I think it is somewhat interesting because it is a group of people from all over the world at different universities. It may be a great reference for finding collaborators or more experienced methodologists if we move into faculty positions!

 * This is an article regarding ethics in health-related qualitative research. The principles of autonomy, beneficince, and justice are discussed.


 * I was talking to my brother and he apparently has an article about using qual research to evaluate programs for their impact - who knew?! []


 * This is a cool article/handout by Max van Manen focused on phenomenological writing. It discusses phenomenology and how "if there is one word that most aply characterizes phenomenology itself, then this word is 'thoughtfulness.'" Then van Manen walks readers through the phenomenological process and provides some steps to help guide work and writing in this area! [[file:Practicing Phen Writing Max van Manen.pdf]]
 * This is a helpful article that reviews interviewing for qualitative research. It talkes about some of the technical and ethical issues associated with interviews. It is from //Medical Education 2006;// 40: 314-321. [[file:Interview methods.pdf]]
