Chapter 1 Discussion

Chapter one walks you through the research process and helps provide advice and guidance on how to pick a research topic. Taking ownership of the project is important because this is what will keep you motivated throughout the entire paper. This was helpful because I would have picked a topic I thought had a lot of information about vs a topic that I found interesting or i thought would be interesting to write about. This chapter explained the research writing process and explained in depth how to go about beginning this process and also laid out skills we will need to learn throughout writing this paper. Sources are going to be very difficult for me to master, but chapter one explains the importance of being able to work with sources and incorporate them into your writing. Developing a position is the first thing you want to do after learning about the topic you chose, this will give you a direction to travel with your paper. TIME MANAGEMENT is extremely important. Because we are working on this project for 10 weeks, its important to learn to manage time appropriately.
