A questionnaire was administered to 412 undergraduates, and the responses were analysed using multiple regression. The implications of the results are discussed in the following chapters.
수정 후
Undergraduates who slept fewer than six hours per night reported a grade point average 0.31 points lower than those sleeping seven to eight hours, after adjustment for weekly study hours and part-time employment. The estimate is based on a questionnaire survey of 412 undergraduates analysed by multiple regression.
심사위원은 초록에서 “무엇을 했는가”가 아니라 “무엇을 밝혀냈는가”를 먼저 확인합니다. 절차만 나열하고 결과 수치가 없는 초록은 논문의 기여를 판단할 근거를 주지 못하며, 본문을 읽기 전에 이미 인상이 결정됩니다.
