Research Paper

            Throughout this research project I have learned many valuable things but above all the two most valuable that I have learned is that you have to be very careful when you are trying to paraphrase another's writing. Because you can plagiarize without even knowing. Take this from me because I came from a school where we didn't have to write research projects and a few days ago was the first time I ever heard of the correct ways to paraphrase. Paraphrasing can be difficult because you don't know if what you wrote is too close to the original copy. So here’s a tip if you don't think it would past turnitin's test for plagiarism then don't use it. And also if you have a question about it ask Dr. D or somebody else.
         Another thing I've learned from this research project is if you have a problem don't try to fix it yourself always ask for help. This is usually a problem for me because I try to do everything by myself and it never works out. If you have a problem about formatting, plagiarism, anything just asks for help because it's not worth getting a bad grade.
