Reflection
When coming into this research project, I thought that I would chose a topic that I had personal experience in. I believe I made the right choice when picking domestic violence as my main topic to research because I feel like if there is any possible way to help spread the awareness of domestic violence or to help prevent it, I want to be part of it. Domestic violence is a serious crime that hurts everyone around it, be it your neighbor, your friends, or even in your immediate family.
I believe that the way this course was organized made it much easier to put together a research report. Instead of having to rush in the last 4 weeks of the class, I had the entire semester to slowly put together my final research report and over time the research report would fall into place. Finding sources was not all that hard, and usually only take about a week or so. I believe that the sources I found in my report were very helpful towards the research project and helped me a lot to create statistics and base my report off.
This course had very high expectations and demands which I really enjoyed. Being able to put together a very good paper through supporting your statements and using APA is a very good feeling. Through practice, it is possible to master writing an essay, and this course was a very good start towards that. I believe learning APA is a must because throughout college and your life you will have to put together research papers formatted this way. Throughout this course, we learned to use many different genres of essays all formatted in APA. After this course, being able to put together papers using the information you have is going to be much easier.
The course research report was a stepping stone in the path towards becoming a good essay writer. It required you to look into depth of the sources you had acquired. This is very important because you should be using the sources you have in order to write a good chunk of your essay. I believe that this is a very good thing to do and this course helped strengthen that skill. Putting all these sources together, it helped support the research paper.
The researching in this course was the first time I had ever done my own research towards my own essay. I would always collect the data found online and use information that I find on my sources. Being able to do your own research and put it into your own essay is a very dominant skill that I wish to improve on for the future. There are many methods that can be used when researching a topic such as surveys, interviews, observations, and I would like to learn many more in the future.
I believe I procrastinated way too much in this course. The ability to manage your time is very important and I still need work in this area. Although I find it my strength in putting together an essay, I find my weakness is to actually get up and put in the effort. What good is being smart and capable if you are lazy and wont put it to use? If time and effort is put into learning and doing class assignments then you in turn will improve in academic writing. This is a very supplementary course that I believe improves in all aspects of writing. In the end, I believe that my research was mediocre. I should have spent more time on researching and putting together questions that could be used to creating an exemplary paper.
