For my E20 time I decided it'd be beneficial to work on my research paper. And I'm happy I did. This gave me a way to obtain more time to work on it and to share the knowledge I obtained with more people than just my teacher and immediate classmates. Through this process I learned a lot about my topic, and I learned a lot about the research paper process. I also learned more about my procrastination, but that's beside the fact.
As for the research process I learned so much. I learned I hate structered writing, like a lot. I started out being super OCD and saving everything online and in a hard copy. I figured out that instead of finding a lot of sources and sifting thru after the fact for the goods ones like we were told to do, to find great ones to begin with. I learned that doing that would help with finding quotes. Finding quotes wasn't very hard, but having them done on time was what set me back. I figured out that in the future I won't really need to write them all out, and maybe just copy and paste them into a master doc for that specific reason. Also, to keep all of my sources on a seperate doc. Then put those all in a folder, I did that but the folder really helped and was useful. If my prof gives me specific margins, I know to do them as soon as I find out about them and hope he tells me in the begining and not after I wrote everything, because those mess you up big time. And overall I guess I just learned what I liked and didn't like for the future. I guess I also learned college will be hard and I'm not so sure how prepared I am for that.
As for the topic research, I stated basically everything I learned in previous blogs. I'm very happy I learned more about that beacuse it could be useful in the future, especially since I'm going into business.
