Purdue OWL - 2 views

  •  
    Purdue OWL is always a site I visit when I have questions about writing. It is also super helpful when I have questions about citations. Here is "Writing a Research Paper." It may come in handy during this segment.
  •  
    I use this site often for research papers considering it is usually the expressed form to write a research paper in. It helps my writing go more smoothly and flow better in text.
  •  
    I always use this website to make sure I'm doing MLA format right.

Purdue OWL: MLA Formatting and Style Guide - 1 views

  •  
    MLA (Modern Language Association) style is most commonly used to write papers and cite sources within the liberal arts and humanities. This resource, updated to reflect the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th ed.) I figured this will help when people start making their works cited page!
  •  
    This was really helpful! I will for sure be looking back at this when I am writing my paper and citing sources.

Writing a Research Paper, Guide - 0 views

  •  
    I thought it was nice to see how to write a research paper from a different point of view. This site also provides an itinerary for the amount of work you should put forth, of course it is not adjusted to our interval we have to work with so that must be taken into consideration. I thought this was helpful.

Why Quit Smoking - American Lung Association - 0 views

shared by mittelbm on 29 Sep 14 - No Cached
  •  
    I believe that this is rhetorical writing. With smokers being the primary audience, it seeks to persuade them to quit by informing them of all the reasons why they should stop. This article also states facts, builds community for smokers aiming to quit, etc.

  •  
    I thought this list of research tips from U.S. News is although very short, it's also very effective in describing key things to focus on during research. I especially though that #2 was a great way to look at your sources when doing the actual writing part of the paper.
  •  
    I was reading some of these when I was looking for something to post this week. I thought this list was very useful and I will be using some of these tips for our paper!

How to Choose Good Sources for College Papers - 0 views

  •  
    There are many types of sources that you could use in your papers (journal articles, books, newspapers, interviews, etc.), but not all of them are good sources. Good sources give you reliable, accurate information based on real research. I thought this was interesting, seeing as we are all looking for reliable resources for our explanatory essays.
  •  
    I liked how this website provided specific examples of good and bad sources.
