General research paper writing
You should be familiar with how to reference research using either MLA or APA style. Please be sure to choose either style and be consistent throughout the paper and reference page. If you need a reminder, you can refer back to your English composition course or you can refer to owl.purdue.edu. This is an excellent resource for how to reference using either MLA or APA reference styles.
Often times students like to include their personal experiences and opinions. This can add some of your personality to the paper. If you choose to share either your experience or opinion, make it brief. It also needs to connect to some specific research in your paper. This is not an opinion or personal reflection paper. You need to base your experience or opinion on referenced research.
