RJA #15b: Reflection on What You Learned

This semester has been the most helpful in stretching my ability to find strong research to support my ideas, I have written longer papers before but I have never conducted this much research. This particular paper I used several books as my supporting evidence. I have never been asked to use an actual bound book, but I am very glad I did. Because we were required to use this as a source I checked out at least a dozen books because I thought it was going to be a stretch to just use one. The books were by far the most helpful resources I used and I am very pleased that I learned how to scan the books and find what I need.

Out of the other papers I have written I have not really used an outline either. I was surprised how much creating one helped the organization of my paper. Even though I did not follow the original outline I drew out, it got me thinking of what I was going to put in my paper. This skill of planning will defiantly help me with any other papers I am asked to write.
