Obviously we have to write research papers for coursework in college, but is it really necessary? With the amount of work we have to do for each course, I at first felt that writing a research paper was a waste of energy that could be used on, say, studying anatomy. However, since having to write my first research paper many months ago, I have found that not only is it necessary, but also an important tool to learn how to effectively communicate with others. While I am just plain exhausted from having to do so much research this term, I am also satisfied with having completed, or almost completed, the assignments.
The 11:59 p.m. deadline on Tuesday is looming large in my head as I write this blog post. So much to do and so little time to do it in. I am both nervous and excited about this term drawing to a close. One more week after this and an Anatomy final exam to go. I need to do very well on my research paper for this class as my grades are not up to my standard. Oddly enough, I'm maintaining an "A" in Anatomy & Physiology while struggling to maintain a "B" in this class. Oh the irony! I've always had little trouble with writing and science has always been my Achilles heel. I guess things change.
All in all, I have enjoyed this class.

The courses required in college are confusing sometimes. I was an English/Education major and biology and physical science drove me crazy!!
ReplyDeleteI guess they want well-rounded people to receive college degrees, so we must take things we do not think will help us.
I am proud you have enjoyed the class.
