Renaud, Karen; Cutts, Quintin – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2013
Computing science students amass years of programming experience and a wealth of factual knowledge in their undergraduate courses. Based on our combined years of experience, however, one of our students' abiding shortcomings is that they think there is only "one correct answer" to issues in most courses: an "idealistic"…

So What Does This Show Us? Analysis of the Discourse Marker "So" in Monologic Talk.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rendle-Short, Johanna – Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, 2003
Analysis of a series of computer science seminars indicates that use of the discourse marker "so" in dialogic talk is not random, rather it plays an important role in orienting the listener to the overall structure of the seminar. Analysis shows how the discourse marker occurs in specific environments, with specific prosodic features, and that its…
