I found this chapter very helpful. Following Jasmine’s research process allows me to follow a step-by-step guideline that will ease the task of writing such a long research paper. Finding an appropriate topic within my interest is by far the most important part of the process. Writing about previous experiences or something meaningful will aid me in not only finishing quicker, but also creating a better finished product. Next up on Jasmine’s list is doing basic research. Exploring different ideas and perspectives within my chosen genre will give me expert knowledge that I can implant into my essay. After committing to a single topic, I must question if it is compatible with the assignment and if I’ll be able to make strong arguments about it. Jasmine’s research process also mentions great tips on how to keep an annotated working bibliography, which will be very helpful when I site my sources at the end of the paper. Siting sources is extremely important to avoid plagiarism.
This guideline will most definitely be put into use when I begin to brain storm ideas for my research paper. Following these steps will simplify the entire process of writing an essay, from start to finish.
