For this Natural Science paper, I learned multiple advantages and disadvantages I have when writing. Firstly, I learned how to better navigate through NCSU’s Summon search tool to find credible citations; this is probably the most useful thing I learned because using that search tool is probably required by many classes from what I have heard. Secondly, I learned when choosing a topic I have to brainstorm as much as I can weeks before the deadline of the rough draft. Additionally, the topic I choose should be somewhat interesting to or I will not have as much motivation, other than the grade aspect, to write the paper. The hardest part about writing this paper was choosing the topic, not procrastinating because it will have a snowball effect and keep making you miss deadlines. Luckily, I cared enough about getting a good grade, so I fought my procrastination to not let that happen. Another hard part about this paper was writing the author’s note because I didn’t know how to structure it properly in the beginning. The easiest part about the paper was writing the citations. In the future, I can use the skills I learned from writing this paper by first, understanding who my audience is, then, writing in a way to make sure I convey the message of a citation but not make it too complex to understand.
