The final week...

I can't believe that the term is already over. It has gone fast. I think this term was the most challenging so far. The advice that I would have for someone that is going to write a research paper is do as much research as you can and start your paper on week three of the term. I think the more time you have to fix up your paper the better it will be in the end. Also, I would definitely recommend handing your paper into the writing center. They are great at reviewing and can give you some recommendations that you might not have thought of. I feel like I strengthened my writing process as a whole. I feel a lot better about writing a paper of such importance such as a scientific research paper. I think the hardest part about writing such a paper was the introduction and conclusion, especially the thesis statement. Once I get those parts done the body of the paper is a breeze for me. So I would say that those two things are the ones I need to work on the most. I just want to say good luck to everyone in future terms and in future endeavors. Hopefully I will see some of you again in other classes.

Thoughts on my finished paper...

I am so glad to be done with my paper. It takes a load off my mind. I can't say that I had an awesome time writing it, but I learned a lot in doing my research. I am taking with me facts that I never knew before. I feel accomplished that I finished the paper and excited to see how I did on it. I am really happy that we had to do a first draft of the paper. Otherwise I know I would of procrastinated and not gotten it done til probably a week ago. I had to do a paper for my other class too, so that would not of worked out well for me. I can't say that I would like to research any other topics right now, I think I am just glad that I picked the topic I did. I think it is time for a little break and relaxation til next term. I am sure other people feel the same way. Good luck to everyone and enjoy the rest of the summer.
