SWA "The Everyday Writer" p.175-210

    After having read this section that was about preparing for a research paper, I didn't learn anything new but it did refresh my memory on some things I had forgotten about. I usually follow all of the different steps that were mentioned such as creating a hypothesis and doing research but I do it in a different order. One thing that I I found interesting that I normally do not do is to create a research log and keep track of all of your sources. I found this to be very helpful because there was a time in high school where I was just keeping tabs open to keep track of my resources and one of my cousins used my computer and closed them all. I also found evaluating the sources useful because some authors may not be credible or they might be biased.
