Dr. X is making a record of an experiment Explanation: 'That K is making records of experiments: simply reporting experiences without interpreting them.' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-08-09 18:53:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry - wrong reference! This is the right one. www.geocities.com/homeschooldesk/sciencexp.doc The problem is that the normal term would be "report", but I don't think that works here because a report can also be a less detached account, more like a story. "Record" suggests a purely mechanical, non-subjective process (and allows you to use "report" for the next clause). Reference: http://teacher.pas.rochester.edu/PhyInq/Lectures/Write_Repor... |

Dr. X wrote up an experiment Explanation: Maybe not metaphorical enough for your needs, but I believe this is what is used: http://loj.loswego.k12.or.us/godfreyj/Lab write ups.htm Just a couple of quick suggestions, Jens, from a nominal psychologist : 1) perhaps compare writing up qual research with writing up a survey (some psychs might have left the lab and actually done the odd survey) rather than with the more traditional psych mode of writing up an experiment. 2) work on the idea that the traditional reporting format is ideally suited to 'telling the story' of an experiment (problem statement, explore what's known, draw on theory, refine problem to Hos, design and run experiment, get results, conclude and discuss) - so they need to figure what is the 'story' they're wanting to tell here, and work out the logical flow from start to conclusion, with supporting evidence along the way. http://forums.qsrinternational.com/index.php?showtopic=451 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2008-08-09 17:51:35 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- or rather 'writes up', though the sense of your text is past tense. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 23 hrs (2008-08-10 16:48:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- With reference to the actual sentence to be translated, why not just say, ...
