"Research Paper Stuff" 

My research paper is important to me because it is all about my major. When doing most writing assignments it is often common to see them as not relevant or a waste of time, however when you do come across an English class that allows you to do something with your major it all of a sudden has this relevance.

          So what I mean by relevance is that this paper is directly involved with how communicating is done in my field. When I first began this paper I did not really know exactly how communicating and writing worked in my field, but I definitely gained this knowledge through obtaining my sources and other types of research done by myself. This proved to be really important to me.

          This paper is so important to me because it gets me more involved with my major and topics that I could possibly be studying. I had the chance to search for any sources that would help with my paper, as long as it was relevant to my topic. I think that this is paper could be important to others as well.

          This paper that I will be constructing, is going to have a lot of good information for how many scientific majors communicate. Often there is a lot of overlap in the sciences for how writing is done so this could be used my even biology, chemistry, and even physics majors. The research paper has information on the communication and types of communication done by the sciences, specifically biochemistry. It also, has credible sources that will help guide and inform the readers of how this type of communication is done. Obtaining this many sources was sort of a challenge but will be rewarding when the paper itself will be written.

          As mentioned prior to this paragraph I had to obtain 12 sources. This was not super difficult once I really got into it. I found it to be less and less of a burden the more I got into it. I started reading different articles about my major and found many interesting articles. The hardest and most frustrating part of the sources so far was the annotative bibliography. I did not really understand exactly how to make one. Also, the work involved was a lot at the time because I had so much other homework to do. I have never done anything like that so it was all new to me. I’ve cited sources, but not in that type of manner. Another issue I ran into was citing the pictures. I didn’t really understand how to do so, but am still in the process of fully understanding it.

          Overall even with these struggles, I do think this paper will be rewarding for me and to others in the sciences who read it.
