Ideas following the First Draft

It has been a lot of work finishing the first draft of the scientific research paper, and now I feel like a weight has been taken off of my shoulders. After completing the first draft, I can see that there are some possibilities to expand on the facts and statistics to back up my thesis statement. I think that the topic is interesting, and hopefully the paper is educational to readers who do not know much about the mental illness that I have written about.

If possible, classmates, take a few moments to read my draft. I look forward to peer review in order to improve on the writing process. The ideas that I am thinking about expanding on are the main points of each paragraph, with more facts and statistics.

Within the last six weeks, I have been hard at work on my studies... it is a little bit stressful, and a good bit educational. I enjoy the things that I am learning, and can appreciate the hard work that healthcare professionals have to accomplish in order to succeed within the medical field.

The ideas that I have presented in the first draft have allowed me to realize that backing up a hypothesis requires time and lots of research. This class is very useful in learning how to write a technical paper, and I hope to use the information in further studies by incorporating the knowledge that the effort put into research pays off.

  1. Hi Jeremy,

    Can you imagine the research that goes into all the information in cyber-space every day. No wonder we all suffer from information overload!
