This class has been hard but, very interesting at the same time. I feel that I have learned a lot more in this class than the previous COMP I.My advice to someone writing their first scientific research paper would be to use the available resources that is given to them. The resources available are the Kaplan Library, the KU Handbook, and the Kaplan writing center. Attending seminars and professor input is a great learning tool also. I have learned a lot about APA formatting, citations and so much more in this class. Don’t be afraid to ask questions because they may think you’re stupid or whatever. I have found that some students have the same problems that I have and they are minor and silly little ones. Do a lot of research because, it will help you write a much better paper because, you will have more information. Wording is a huge factor when researching. Writing a research paper can be fun if you let it. I actually came into this class thinking that I was going to hate this class, because I was so unsure of my writing; I actually ended up enjoying this class, and writing my paper. My paper was fun to write because I picked a subject that really interested me. Researching the information was fun for me also because I could reword my search and find different sources. I know that there is so much more that could be learned about the writing process but, I feel I have learned a lot so far. Also, use spell check tools.
