My Advice

Hello All:

This class to me has been a very interesting one. I have learned a great deal not only about writing a scientific research paper, but about writing in general. The advise I would give to a student writing their first scientific research paper would be to use the Kaplan Library, the KU Handbook, and the Kaplan writing center. Also listen to your professor and follow their advice. Writing a research paper can be fun if you let it. There is so much to learn from your research. There is also a great deal to learn in this class if you come into it with an open mind. I thought I was going to hate this class, because I was so unsure of my writing; however, I really ended up enjoying every minute of this class, and yes, even writing my paper. I picked a subject that really interested me and tried to find out all I could about it. That made it fun and interesting also. I also learned a great deal about writing, technique and of course APA. The best advice I could give to anyone would be to have fun! Life is too short to not have fun with everything you do.
