The main point I took from the reading was that organization and planning is key to a good research paper. If you do not plan ahead, you may address your argument to the wrong audience, address the wrong aspect of the issue, or go in several other incorrect directions. Once you plan out what you’re addressing, you must gather your evidence. When you have sufficient evidence you now have to organize your evidence in a way that avoids logical fallacies. You lose your credibility if you organize poorly.
When it comes to the research paper, I am most concerned with is being able make a unique point. At least with my topic, it has been argued and rehashed so many times I am not sure that I will be able to avoid just regurgitating other people’s arguments. Hopefully with the limited amount of time I can be knowledgeable enough to make a solid argument.
Well you were able to summarize the reading much easier than i was. i, too, hope i will be able to make a solid argument and not just reiterate what others have said.
