Research Paper

One of the skills that I have learned while writing my research paper is how to create and works cited page and how to create in-text citations. Before we started writing our research paper, I didn't even know what in-text citations were. Now I know that you have to give credit where credit is due in the text and n your works cited page. I also wasn't sure how to create and in-text citation or how to format my works cited page prior to writing this paper. Now I can safely saw that I know how to form an in-text citation and works cited list.

Another skill that I have learned over the course of writing this paper is how to embed citations. Although we had already learned how to do this for our personal narrative, I feel like we went more in depth on embedding quotations for this research paper. I also learned how to find the credibility of a source. I didn't realize that there was an entire process, including finding out where the information came from, whether the source was biased, and the profession of the author. This research paper has made me improve as the writer.
