Badke, Chapter 10

Chapter 10: Tips on Research Writing. Most importantly is getting the research question and outline straight because without these two the research paper will just be completely unorganized and will make no sense what so ever. Gathering information which means having resources is difficult because one would want to use the most helpful and understanding information they have. A major problem I have, that is discussed in this chapter is having an outline. Outlines at first, thought were useless and no point in having them, but after reading this chapter it did make me change my mind. Not only are outlines helpful but they also make it easier to write the research paper. Without an outline it takes me forever to even start to write a paper, so in the end having an outline does make a difference. Not just because one has an outline means that the research paper is going to be good but the outline itself must contains useful information. As explained the first step would be the research question which I must say is more difficult then writing the outline because the research question is the main reason on why one is writing a paper. I really liked how Chapter 10 was broken down and it was really useful in reading and guiding to show how to write a research paper.
