Research papers are often the hardest thing for me to do as a writer because I just can never fully understand how to do them it is not as simple as reading a book or articles and writing about them. The first thing I learned was in the wiki article where they showed how research papers vary depending on what topic you are researching, there are different steps or points you have to discuss. The second thing I learned in the same article is there is qualitative research and quantitive research which are two methods used for research papers one is about collecting information in form of words by others whereas the other is about collecting numerical information finally the last thing I learned was there should not be generalization in a research paper because it is meant to narrow down your focus on a topic. Now in the second article by Alexandria Lockett, a lot of topics came up mostly being about the difficulty of writing a research paper. The first thing I learned was that it is very common for writers today to not understand how to connect the articles for a research paper to an argument which is one of my biggest struggles. The second thing I learned is the system set in place for plagiarism is sort of outdated due to the way research is done today through the internet. The final thing i learned was that most research paper writers are forced to come up with a paper that is hard to make original because there is a abundance of articles written on the same exact topics across the internet which is why the author believes that research papers should have a different approach taken to complete them, so that the student and the teachers cand better understand them.
