I think research is when you are using other sources or information to support your cause. Research is when you have to dig for information that is relevant and supports what claim you are making.
What is your experience with research writing in the past?
In the past, I have had bad experiences with research papers. For example, during my junior year of high school, I was in honors English and we had to construct a "happiness" project. Within the project, you had to turn in one research paper and six narratives. When I turned my research paper in, my teacher accused me of plagiarism because I didn't cite the ideas I used from an article. I was hysterical and I hate writing research papers now.
What are you looking forward to, what are you dreading?
I am looking forward to the topics because they are very relevant to me and I'm excited to learn more about them. I am dreading the length and the citations. Generally, I am comfortable with three paged essays just because I'm worried I will have run-ons repetitive. With the citations, I am just nervous about finding credible sources and putting all the information together.
