Research paper
This research paper is probably one of the hardest papers I have come across.This is my first time ever writing one and it has been causing me a lot of stress. The research aspect of it was not as easy as I had thought. I was confused as to how to know for sure if the information I was reading and using was reliable. This paper made me realize that I'm not all that prepared for college. I had no clue as to how to cite correctly. If it wasn't for Ms. Fletcher I would of never learned that what i had been doing all throughout high school was plagiarism. Of course I did not ever plagiarize intentionally it was honest mistake. None of my teachers ever corrected me on citations so I automatically assumed that i was doing it correctly. I do not feel ready for what what college has in store for me. I would of really benefited from my teachers letting us know early on how to correctly cite a source. It is better to know early on than to find out your senior year so that we can be better prepared when we go to college.

Sandra, I totally agree with you on the whole college perspective. This essay was a big eye opener for me. It made me realize also that I need to step it up before entering college. This research paper was a difficult task especially considering I didn't fully understand my topic.
ReplyDeleteI posted a comment but I don't think it posted so I'm going to repeat myself. I agree with Sandra and Edub Sosa completely. This paper has given me tools that will help me in the future. I still need to work on my work ethic, vocabulary, and grammar skills.
