Writing the Research Project

My understanding of a research proposal is that it is a very effective tool in the research paper stages. I feel that a research proposal is a way to collect all of you research and format your ideas in such a way to make an argument and use those sources to make your case. By submitting a research proposal, you are keeping up with your work load in finishing your research paper on time. I believe that research proposals allow writers to narrow their thesis effectively so that they can trim out all of the unnecessary information and writing that would diminish the effectiveness and quality of the paper along with the main idea or arguement. By taking advantage of research proposals in class, it will allow us to become more effective writers and at the same time, make our writing experience much easier.

Research Paper

In order to effectively write a good research paper, one must have a plan on how to approach the research aspect, as well as the writing aspect of the paper. My plan for writing this research paper involves defining my specific topic in relation to the increase of violence on college campuses in the United States today. In order to generate sources for my paper I will use the available tools at the library to search journals, articles, books, etc. for reference in my paper. Once I have completed the research aspect of the paper, I will need to sit down and just come out with an outline with the sources and once I have effectively tackled the body of the paper and have used relevant and required number resources I will then write the paper. During this process If I have any questions I will either get in contact with Ruby for clarification and help and our a outside resource such as the writing center or library staff.
What I want to achieve in this paper, is being able to effectively create a great research paper from start to finish. By this I mean, coming up with an idea and then doing all the research and writing the paper. I want to increase my research paper skills by writing this paper, so I can take what I have learned and apply it for future use in my studies. My main concern would probably be not defining my topic too much and having it too broad of a topic and not being able to write about the topic effectively.
