Te...I hate essay questions too, they are the worst. Teachers always seem to sneak them in at the end, so if you're pretty confident about your grade you lose all confidence when you run into the essay section. This also applies to something I learned in a previous class. The tips I learned were effective ways to study; information should not be memorized, but should be relative. This means find ways to relate the information you learn to information you already know.ChunMorrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08579583804161822010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384875945177245073.post-85197812136034980892012-03-16T20:24:48.884-07:002012-03-16T20:24:48.884-07:00I have run into this situation multiple times too!...I have run into this situation multiple times too! I think to myself Oh I don't know this stuff and I'll just guess and write down many answers it could possibly be and when the test comes back it ends up being correct.

I don't know about it helping my writing because, when I write I don't try to be correct or anything; I write my thoughts for myself. This defiantly helps when speaking. Maybe I should start writing correctly when jotting down my thoughts so it can be effective. Thanks for the post it has inspired me.ChunMorrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08579583804161822010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384875945177245073.post-60949226357206304762012-02-16T08:04:26.975-08:002012-02-16T08:04:26.975-08:00There are some good resources on the class website...There are some good resources on the class website about Integrating and Citing Sources and Research. I have included links to 4 really good, reliable citation tools. You have to be careful of some online citation tools because they are out-of-date or don't do the citations correctly. It's always a good idea to double-check the citations, even if you use software to create them. I hope that these resources help you with your research paper. If you can find a topic that you're interested in, you'd be surprised how easy it is to write a long research paper. You have to keep in mind that you will be summarizing your research findings as well as adding your own ideas, so what sounds like a long paper is really about 50% discussion of what others have to say about the topic (the other 50% should be what you have to say about it). I can tell you from experience, both as a student and a professor, that we do, indeed, read research papers and we will not give you an A just for trying.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830071847598906441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384875945177245073.post-11257543743992518342012-02-15T19:13:21.045-08:002012-02-15T19:13:21.045-08:00Wow!

Finding a topic and writing the thesis seems like a piece of cake like you stated. My biggest downfall would be running out of stuff to write before the 10 page mark. I'd really try to find a website to put your paper in MLA format like ChunMorris said above. I really wish you the best of luck. If I was your instructor I'd just give everyone an A who attempted the paper cause I would not read them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386304876371835917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384875945177245073.post-35530855258470235022012-02-15T17:24:35.250-08:002012-02-15T17:24:35.250-08:00Honestly, I don't think that there's a sub...Honestly, I don't think that there's a subject IN THE WORLD that's interesting enough to write 10 pages about. Plus, do the instructors really READ these papers? I mean, I wouldn't put it pass some; however, I'd prefer it if people were a little more realistic. Now that I'm thinking about it, I doubt that I'd be able to write a research paper that lengthy on something that I actually find interesting!NinaTheLandPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190122862964577203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384875945177245073.post-16089576852031412862012-02-15T15:22:10.392-08:002012-02-15T15:22:10.392-08:00Is your paper just on anything about Criminology? ...Is your paper just on anything about Criminology? The best way is to find a topic that will have a lot of details that way it will be easier to go into detail. I actually find that it's easy once you have your thesis, thats what your paper is about so just exude the thesis. I agree with the bibliography part it takes a lot of time. You usually can find a website that automatically put it into MLA or APA style. I wish you the best of luck in your paper!ChunMorrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08579583804161822010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384875945177245073.post-40684155498652872692012-02-08T13:18:21.818-08:002012-02-08T13:18:21.818-08:00That's actually rather interesting to hear.

I'm a little more down during rainy days and I tend to be less motivated to do things. However, I've just seen that you can't let a rainy day stop you from accomplishing anything or keep you from producing a quality project.

I completely understand how you feel, for the past two months I have felt like I've been on an emotional roller coaster but I take time to write about it and it really makes me feel better! It is amazing how putting our thoughts on pen and paper can really make us feel better about whatever we might be going through!

Do you think the best painters only paint or draw one day and they make their masterpiece in that one sitting? Of course not, they doodle everywhere and take their inspiration from different settings to collaborate them together in one. I feel writing would be the same. No author has just sat down one day and wrote a novel. Most of the book comes from different times and different things, like: journals, essays, a text/blog, any writing that they still have access to later. I feel doing all this will make you a great writer and possibly prep you for a future writing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06455541736957221492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384875945177245073.post-83967000526044432662012-01-21T09:20:15.655-08:002012-01-21T09:20:15.655-08:00i feel like if you write more your life will shoot...i feel like if you write more your life will shoot straight up. especially since you want to write children's books, because i feel you can really do well in that field. you should get back into it and see where it takes you. you only have one life to live so you better try to achieve your dream!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384875945177245073.post-52288471919370076852012-01-20T17:23:36.260-08:002012-01-20T17:23:36.260-08:00I agree with Josh (aka Ninja Crash Token); I think...I agree with Josh (aka Ninja Crash Token); I think that you should share some of your creative writings on your blog (but only if you are comfortable doing so).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830071847598906441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384875945177245073.post-68772338986470254212012-01-20T16:09:31.669-08:002012-01-20T16:09:31.669-08:00I used to keep a journal as well when I was going ...I used to keep a journal as well when I was going through middle school/high school. Well, most of it was technically Livejournal at the time, but I did keep a notebook on me while I was at school. For some reason, I wrote more extensively in class.
