I learned a lot from this article. I never thought about that the topic matter would, but now I see that it does matter. If you are not interested in what you are researching you are not going to put the effort that you should into your paper. I also learned that interviewing someone that knows a lot about your area is helpful for your research; they might even help lead you into the right path of searching. Finally, I learned that there are many ways that your research paper could go wrong, for example; sources to old, believing what a tabloid says, etc.
The part that jumped out at me the most was the Make Your Research Thorough (and Current) section. The reason this section jumped out at me was because it kind of stressed me out! It made me think “Oh my goodness, this research paper is going to take a lot of time and research, am I going to find the time?” I knew about going to the library and looking at news papers for research. However, I didn’t think about going to a professor, which is something I would be scared to do. I am a very shy person! So, for this research paper if I need to go see a professor I am going to have to find the courage deep down inside of me.

Angela--I understand about your shyness in approaching a professor. But you can also just talk to someone you are more comfortable with who knows information about your subjects. I also think emailing is an easy way to do this.
