It's Over!

Well, another term down, several more to go! One step closer to graduation. I decided to write about the advice I would give to someone writing a scientific paper. Research is definitely something you can not do enough of! Don't be afraid to go back and research more as you are developing your paper. I ended up going back during my rough draft stage to find more information for one area, and ended up finding an abundance of information that I incorporated into my paper that gave me the research I needed to back up my paper. I found one article that had about ten articles included in it. I ended up citing about six of the articles I found in one source! I found freewriting to be the most effective for me during the pre-writing stage. I develop my thesis statement around the questions I have regarding my topic. So when you are writing your paper, think about the questions someone else would have when reading about the topic and make sure to address those questions. Also, the writing center is truly a great source of information! I found the paper review service to be an invaluable tool. Also, take any feedback you receive and think about it carefully when revising/editing your draft. Hope everyone enjoyed this term!
