Helping Your Writing Ability

When it comes to typing up research papers, we have been taught numerous things throughout our schooling history. These philosophies about how to make writing a paper easier have been very helpful for me. Chapter Six is similar to other readings in this concept. The chapter discusses summarizing as well as paraphrasing in order to properly use a source that you have gathered. The topic that caught my attention was the section about selecting potential quotations. I always fail to incorporate the author's use of powerful language to express their views. I recognize that if I were to use the stronger quotations from the text that my points will be very more clever and believable. I also need to be capable of providing more evidence to support my points. I need to prove people's questions wrong before they even ask them. Another topic that this chapter discusses is the fact that a student must correctly evaluate their sources that they choose. Chapter Seven entails the facts on how to correctly analyze your sources. One aspect a writer must think of is the credibility of the author. When it comes to research, credibility is everything.
