Reflection Piece on Research Paper


            This paper is important to me because I can look at how writing works in a field that is very interesting to me.  I can better understand what I am looking at if say I ended up on a jury or when I am watching the news and see something about forensic scientists in court rooms.  This can also help other people understand what type of writing they will do in the field of forensics science.  This will not only help undergraduate students, but it also can help normal people who are just interested in what they are seeing and why it is being presented that way.

            I am having a hard time wading through all the information I have.  Twelve source is a lot and many of mine are between 70 and 90 pages of small print.  Sometimes it also gets really specific and goes into things that I don’t understand.  I also am struggling with a few of the sources that are for a specific state and are referencing legal codes that I don’t know and am really confused about.  I also want to use a youtube video in my paper, but I am not sure how to cite it.  I don’t know how to cite pictures either so I am trying to work on that and figure it out.  Otherwise my paper isn’t going too badly.  I just really need to have some free time to finish it up and go over it to make sure I don’t repeat myself and confuse anybody who reads my paper.  I also need to work on my thesis statement because I am really bad at those and they never seem to come out how I want them to.
