L.R.R.
The literature review was to me the most difficult one. But maybe that had to do with how long it had to be and the fact that I needed primary research. I knew how to network, I learned in my Sci 1301 class, but I never really did it. I believe the purpose of this assignment was to gain some credibility in my field and research on a specific topic within my field. I knew how to research for a topic and where to look for my resources. I knew that there were real problems in the destruction of coral habitats but I did not know the specifics. I feel like I accomplished the purpose of the assignment, except for the part where I had to interview a specific someone. I was never good at approaching someone to interview, I should work on that. I learned that in order for a research paper to be credible I should look for diverse sources such as books, news articles, scholarly journals, etc. If a paper has just one type of source it will not be as effective as one with multiple types of sources. I will definitely be using this strategy when continuing with research in the biology field. I think my writing process for this assignment was also effective. I had enough information to write about when I read and researched and when I got feedback I was told I was doing good, I was just missing my primary research of course. Reading, researching, and planning out my essay helped very much with my progress while writing the paper. My revisions for this paper were not as effective as my last assignment because I didn’t revise much, I left it all the same as my draft and just added the information I was already missing. the readings were helpful in this assignment because it gave tips as well on how to look for the right source and how to incorporate evidence into my writing.
This was me during my whole writing process...
