reflections on research

I learned a lot from researching in this class. I used to think that doing research was boring, time consuming, and useless, but now i have a different view on it. I found that it was a big help to actually take out time and properly look for things. In high school, the teachers would tell us to do research and i would just google key words and just copy and paste, but now i take my time to specifically look up certain things. I am not the perfect researcher, but i definitely have improved over the course. I still have a long way to go to be "perfect" even though there is no such thing but i can just get better. Doing research is a HUGE help.

Revision letter

There were many mistakes on my paper so i understand why i got the grade i got. One mistake that i have to fix is connecting my ideas to one another.Most of my ideas are distant and have nothing to do with the other. Another mistake is i have to back up my points with proof.I believe most of my points are just statements and not backed up. My organization is off and the paragraphs and information is out of place. The paragraphs would make more sense if they were organized better. The last and most important thing that i have to improve, is my research. I don't think i have enough research on the topic. Since citation is another problem that i have which is also linked to research, i have to improve my research to have a full and complete citation.
