I will share my final reflection about my research paper.
This research paper class allowed me to learn how to develop my thesis
by doing research and cite sources. When I started this class, I didn’t have
any ideas about human cloning. But once I did research for the paper and
understood what is going on with human cloning in the past and present, I got
some ideas what I’d like to argue in human cloning. I learned that it’s
significant to read many books and articles and gain knowledge about the topic
for research. In addition, It’s essential to have many different references to show
that my paper looks reliable and think how to organize them.
If I advise future students who would take this course, I would
tell them to be responsible and to plan how to handle assignments and paper
work. This class is hybrid class. Upside of this class is that students need to
come to the class once in a week. On the other hand, they also need to provide
an hour in a week to finish their assignments. It’s important to manage time if
students take hybrid classes.
I could have done more research what is happening with my topic, so that my paper would be more stronger. I have changed a little bit the way of organizing my paper and have removed
some quotations since last week. I used to use quotations, however, am switching to paraphrase
them by writing research paper in this class. This class made me realize that I
should paraphrase more often for research paper. I have been thinking how to organize
the quotations to show my clear point in my research paper. I also fixed
citation which is significant in research paper. I made many mistakes and started
to understand how to cite resources and how to choose articles or books from reliable
sources.
It was interesting to choose a topic from movies and do research for
the topic. This class made me watch The Island many times, which was fun. I
hope that my professor will keep doing this activity so that students can do research
and have a good time at the same time!
