My preference is to have students write in passive voice only. In science, it is not the particular
researchers that are important so much as what was done, how it was done, what was observed, etc. I
also have them use past tense in describing the above. The exception is when something is presently
true or always true. For example, "2 plus 2 equals 4" would not be written "2 plus 2 equaled 4."
