Answer/Quote: “The paradox of graduate writing is this: there is a
fundamental difference between writing for a seminar and writing for
publication. The purpose of a seminar paper is to demonstrate that one has
learned whatever she was supposed to have learned. Conversely, the purpose of
writing for a journal or conference is starting or joining a conversation. One
is about giving answers; the other is about asking questions, and the two are
not easily reconciled.” P. 483.
