Research Papers This Semester.

My Researching Skills during this cluster semester have, I believe, Re-Born. As a college freshmen, coming from high school , the researches done there are not sufficiently developmental towards an actual researching learning experience. To add on to this, I learned how to cite works through the required college norms : MLA Style, which I didn’t even know about before. I think Researching in general has made a huge impact on the way I see data, and interpret it. I learned in Psychology that the imagination and creativity are put into function when distributing and categorizing data, that then you have to elaborate on; which in essence is a Research Paper. The way you take information and strategically place it in paragraphs is a very important aspect of the research skill. Along with that, it was repeatedly put onto the test throughout the entire semester, so it really grew. I consider LaGuardia Media Research Center a valuable contribution to what my research skills are now. I like knowing that the Research Center is acknowledged and preferred by professors instead of using google which is just a search engine. When researching I notice that you look for key points that the author of the article is trying to make so you can match it, support your thesis. I have a hard time knowing when to put the quotes and how to introduce them, but at least through doing more papers, I can perfect my skills at it. Im glad I at least was introduced into the area of researching because it will be critical for new classes in the future.
