  1. Hi, I had a hard question. Do you think that taking the TOEFL test needs specific prior preparation for the test, or it is simply an English language knowledge test? (or to what extent it is the second one?) I have taken the TOEFL test before, preparing for the test, but it was more than a year ago. I have started an MA in political science in an English-language school from September, and I have a Toefl test in a week. I'm too busy with my school and thesis jobs, so I cannot prepare for the test. I'm not sure if I should postpone the test to a later time when I had a bit of time to be preapared for it, or I can take it now and be confident about it? Thanks in advance!
  2. Thanks yhakak and Usmivca, In word there is no special system for recognizing your source. you simply input the information of your book (you choose whether it is a book or paper or website, etc), and according to the system that you have chosen it manage your citation. (you can access it in your "reference" bar of Microsoft word. It seems that it is not reliable, but I don't know what to do now? I know how to cite a book in Persian, and I know which system is commonplace in my country, but I'm not sure whether it is acceptable for New School or not. What makes it worse is that they did not mention any regulation for writing sample. Now I don't know which system I should use, and how can I acquire reliable information about the way of citing in that system.
  3. Hi everybody, I'm about to apply for New School for social research, and I have a doubt about my writing sample. I see that one of the most important goals of requesting a writing sample, is evaluating student's citation and referencing in that essay. When I was writing my sample two years ago, I simply used the word APA system which I thought it was closer to the way of citation that I got used to. But still some parts of it is strange for me. For example the way of citing inside the text in paratezes, it also include the full title of the book inside the essay each time! like this: the framework of his second government program. (Makki, Ketabe siah/The Black Book, 1370/1991, pp. 353-354). The Chicago system has some other problems especially in bibliography part. Has anyone ever used word citation systems? If not, what should I do in my manual amendment of my essay. The website of the school did not write anything about the accepted system. Which system I should use and how can I find accurate and reliable information about that system? Thanks in advance!
  4. Thanks, Actually, the process of publishing full articles is completely different. If you wish you can send your full article to their independent Journal, they will review and (maybe) publish your article, and this have a separate fee. I'm actually too busy to write the full article, so I prefer not to do that. (If I write the full article, in this case I prefer to submit it to a valuable magazine at least) . Is publishing the abstract still valuable without a full article? P.S: Do you mean that in a CV we have a publication part and under that we have an abstract part? or I can easily just put it under publication part, indicating that this is an abstract? (I used to have a separate part of "conferences" in my CV and put everything related to a conference in that section)
  5. Hi everybody, My abstract was accepted in a conference, and I wanted to participate and have a presentation in that. But I found out that I cannot receive a visa to go to the country the conference were held, as they have no embassy in my country, so I refused to go. The conference holders, proposed that I can still be part of the conference by paying the fee (not that much expensive comparing to other conferences), so they will publish my abstract and send me all the conference material including a certificate. I don't know if having a published abstract in an exactly related conference to your field of study, worth paying a conference fee (and not actually going there) or not? Would this make my CV stronger? (I want to apply for an MA) Do you have any idea about it? Thanks a lot.
