Recommended: Heroin research paper

My final research paper for English class was about heroin. I believe I did very well for a 7 page paper and proved I have excelled since the beginning of the course. On the other hand, I did make some mistakes in it as well. I made a few errors in this paper such as, wrong format for the works cited page, format for in-text citations, development of thesis, and use of in-text citations. The first mistake I made was using the wrong format for the works cited page. I did not indent the lines after the first line. I told my professor, Lisa, that it did not work and she told me to remind her for the final paper. It is my fault I got docked points because I forgot to remind her. My second mistake was using the wrong format for in-text citations.

    Mary Kate Lambert “No title was given”. Mary Kate’s paper was unfinished, however, she did provide a good topic sentence for the introduction paragraph. In the second paragraph she needs a much stronger topic sentence. Also, there were grammar errors such as incomplete sentences, capitalization errors, word usage errors, and to be verbs. Overall, I think that she is off to a good start and that her final paper would be better if she includes these suggestions.

    In Judith Halberstam’s piece “Female Masculinity,” she offers the audience a few potential definitions of the term ‘masculinity’ and how the term applies to “feminine masculinity.” She states that “although we seem to have a difficult time defining masculinity, as a society, we have little trouble recognizing it” (935). Halberstam suggests that female masculinity is often blatantly ignored in culture and studies due to the indifferent feeling often associated with the topic. Halberstam uses her essay to explain a variety of aspects associated with female femininity like tomboys, queer methodologies, and the bathroom problem. Halberstam’s description of the term ‘Tomboys’ is reminiscent of the character Emily Fields from the Pretty Little Liars book series by Sara Shepard. Progressing through middle school with a group of ‘girly’ friends, Emily is easily labeled with the term ‘tomboy’ due to her sporty exterior. Her overly conservative Christian family and classmates see no ‘threat’ or meaning behind Emily’s tomboy appearance because they believe it is just a stage in her life. As soon as Emily enter tenth grade and starts hanging out with a homosexual female, her family and classmates grow concerned about Emily’s masculine looks and behaviors. In the book titled Prettty Little Liars, one of the liars, Emily’s evident masculine ways raises concern to her thesis-go back and fix it .

    I have never been the strongest writer. To be honest I was nervous about this course and how much writing was involved in it. With that being said, the research paper I wrote on James Baldwin’s “Sonny’s Blues”, was very challenging me. I am overall satisfied with my essay but feel if I had practiced better time management and spent more time analyzing it, the result would have been a more detailed and better organized essay. I put my essay in the Successful category, although I did meet the course outcomes in my paper, it contains grammatical errors and does not flow as well as an Exemplary paper would.

    Marijuana—a prominently used, yet widely opposed substance. Marijuana usage has been and is an immensely debated subject within the states. Many liberal states favor the drug due to its economic and medicinal values. However, many conservative states abhor the narcotic due to its psychoactive effects on the brain and its minimal medicinal value. These anti-marijuana fans emphasize the drug’s relation to the usage of more potent substances such as cocaine. Overall, there is high tension between those who advocate the drug versus those who protest against it. Economically, taxation on marijuana provides a supplemental income to the state that results in a higher budget for the states’ respective governments; medicinally, the narcotic eases pain for terminally ill patients and alleviates the sense of disorientation. Furthermore, the drug has less harmful effects to the body in comparison to tobacco and alcohol; therefore, the legalization of the previous two should justify the legalization of marijuana. Marijuana’s pros exceed its cons and thus, the substance’s legalization is justifiable.

    As the semester comes to an end, it is now finals time on the UIndy campus. As part of my Psychology class and our final exam we are to pick out one person that we had read or learned about throughout the semester. The person I am choosing to do a brief biography on and his contributions to psychology is a gentleman named, Philip Zimbardo. The main reason I chose to write about Zimbardo is because of his Stanford Prison Simulation experiment. This experiment not only shocked me but truly captivated me as I read about it.

    In my final copy my citations were riddled with mistakes, and Professor Wilkinson made me fix them and then resubmit it. I’m really glad that she did that because if she hadn’t I would 've never have learned how to cite the proper way. In the final clean copy of this draft you can see that I cited all of my sources correctly. This was also the first time I had to use in text citations, I messed up a little on the formatting of them, but I corrected it for future assignments. You can see that in “Assignment 3” I used in text citations

    Another paper I included was my research essay, it about why camels should become a common livestock in the USA. I used the 8th edition MLA works cited page format and improved my in-text citations greatly. For example, “The reason camels have so few enemies is because, according to the article Ships of the Desert they, “have a reputation for being [an] ill-tempered animal that spit[s] and kick[s],” but when not threatened, “camels are generally good-tempered, intelligent, patient, and even affectionate” (“Desert: Camels”).” Although I initially struggled, Eng 121 helped me develop the skills and learn the format to write in-text citations from reliable sources. This skill will allow me to continue to incorporate quotes from sources into my future

    Time sure does fly; in the blink of an eye, yet another 7.5-week class has come and gone. Just like life, it is scary to think that in just a few short years I will be graduating college and be in search of a future career. The magnitudes of readings, assignments, PowerPoint lectures, and videos have all contributed to the valuable knowledge I have gained since taking this course. Nothing that was presented or required was seen as invaluable towards my progression of career development. This career development course has allowed me to do some self-exploration, career research, and help me understand what influencing factors were related to the job market. Ultimately, this class helped me gauge and find a suitable career path, which will forever shape my future.

    People have had this fascination with technology long before there were any actual texts to write down our history. While the technology that humans had a few thousand years ago were not as advanced as what we have today, they were still toying with the idea of creating machines that would have the capability to make the similar, rational decisions that we do. It is only until the late 19th or early 20th century that the advances in technology have allowed people to put more emphasis on the question of when, because it is only a matter of time, humanoid artificial intelligence will outwardly simulate human emotions closely enough that we have to wonder if they deserve or be accorded the moral status of people.

    I had already written about two and a half pages of this paper all with the articles I had printed out, and decided I should email my professor just for reassurance I was doing it right. It was brought to my attention from my professor that I wasn't doing it completely correct. The way I was writing my paper and the ideas weren't incorrect but of course my sources were not what she was looking for and were most likely not credible or proven, more likely just opinions of randoms on the web. With two and a half pages done, and hours of looking up sources, printing them and analyzing them, it is safe to safe I was extremely frustrated and was again at lost of what to
