Chapter One Entry

The first chapter is sort of a basis for what is to be learned and an overview of what a writer should know. Basically, "The Bedford Researcher," wants writers to take pride in their work while consistently managing and keeping up with current research. An important tip I picked up in this section was the research log. I think I will definitely be using that. Another key factor mentioned for the process of writing a research paper is to stay organized. It is important to take it step by step to ensure the final draft is able to engage readers, while pursuing the writer's opinion of the subject to be chosen. The chapter acted as a broad outline of how to write a research paper even if one is unsure of what to write about. This chapter really helped me understand how the puzzle pieces are going to fit together.
