RJA #15b: Reflection on What You Learned

This semester I learned many things on how to do better research and compile information in an organized manner to make research papers easier. I learned about a website called Knightcite which allows you to plug in the information when you cite a source in a paper and it automatically puts it into the correct format weather it be APA or MLA. I also learned the correct format for an outline when writing a persuasive paper. This outline could also be adapted a bit in order to write a number of other types of papers. This formal outline made it much easier to write a paper that needed to be lengthy, all I did was look at the outline and wrote what was necessary to fulfill that idea that was stated in the outline.
I also learned how do many useful things like how to set up and write your own blog as well as publish the blog so others who are searching for information on the topic could more easily find my blog. I learned how RSS feeds work and how to set them up in my protopage which is another useful tool I learned about. Weather it be in regular life or for research purposes I can use my new protopage to look and gather the latest information on any given topic. Furthermore I learned about some websites that could be used as search engines when conducting research.
Overall I learned a great deal of different useful techniques that can be used when doing research or just gathering information for personal use. The course definitely made subsequent research projects and papers much easier to do in the future and I almost look forward to using them in the future.
