Break it down, Chhaya! Don't try to synthesize the whole paper at once. Read the Abstract and the Conclusion first. Find the 'Thesis Statement' of each paper. Once you have their core arguments simplified, *then* try to connect them. 🗺️
Can my 'new insight' just be my personal opinion about the topic?
Not exactly! At C2, your insight must be *grounded* in the evidence provided by the sources. It's a logically deduced conclusion built from their data, not just a personal feeling. Think of yourself as a judge looking at evidence, not a commentator! ⚖️
How do I synthesize when the sources are extremely dense and hard to understand? I get lost in the vocabulary.
