The mind frame of thinking, I have forever to write my scientific paper is the wrong attitude. It is best to use the Swiss Cheese Method; break down the writing into smaller portions throughout the term.

I would like to think my organizational skills have improved in the past 10 weeks. When reality sets in, this is untrue but I aspire to become a more organized individual. Writing has improved my communication skills and the value of prewriting. Thesis statements, still one of weaker points but it did improve my first thesis ever written. Procrastination is not going to be associated my name next term; however, I definitely enjoyed learning the technical aspect of writing.
Finally the day has come, to sit back and read the finished product. A love, hate relationship form while writing this controversial paper. I love the fact of gaining knowledge about GM foods, I despise being a procrastinator. Any type of research paper gives me an overwhelming feeling of tiredness towards the end.

I absolutely enjoyed the creative aspect of blogging. I am unsure whether to continue to blog but I do believe it is essential to write, whether in blogs, journals, or a diary.This way you may continually progress into a stronger writer.
Peer Reviews are unnerving situations for me; I think it stems from desiring positive feedback without harsh or negative criticism. Surprisingly, every peer review so far has been given in a positive light. My fellow classmates gave constructive criticism which made the situation less unsettling.
Ah Ha moments came almost every five minutes when writing this research paper. Ideas would come to mind about ways to write stronger sentences or incorporating credible information with my ideas. I embraced any Ah Ha moments because it allowed to me think outside of the box.
Not knowing anything about Genetically Modified Foods, any information I received relating to these foods was shocking to me. From gene-splicing to U.S. Food and Drug Administration policies, this research paper was an eye-opening experiences and I am glad to have chosen this topic.
