What did the period say to the sentence? We better stop now, ha.

Okay so this week’s topic was over academic writing yayyyy. Here’s a funny little story, I took 2 dual credit writing classes in high school hoping I would get them out of the way and never have to write a paper again in college. Imagine my UTTER delight when I found out that all of my classes require me to write some form of academic paper sociology, biology, chemistry all of them. AGAIN, yayyy. Therefore, I found myself again sitting at my laptop at 2 am trying to think of a thesis at least twice a month. I personally found this weeks module very helpful. One thing that stood out to me was the fact that there is a difference between searching and researching, sounds stupid I know however, researching is more about the quality of the information while searching is more about getting a huge quantity of sources that typically yield you a yes or no answer. Through out my long, wisdom filled 19 years of life I have found 3 sites very helpful when writing papers, Purdue Owl, Easybib and grammarly. These 3 sites combined will help you proof read your papers, tell you how to structure them and double check your citations. If there’s one thing that junior year of high school taught me that is that citations are a pain in the rear end. In conclusion, this module is one of the main ones I think I will be referencing back to when school starts, because writing is a skill that you can never be perfect at, there will always be room to grow. ESPECIALLY, academic writing.
