1.) Now that you have finished your research paper, what advice would you give to students starting this course?

- Throughout the course of this class, I have definitely learned a lot ' a lot about myself as an individual as well as my ‘writing’ abilities. Some of the things that I have learned and would suggest to other students entering this course are: keep an open mind. Never be afraid to voice any ideas and always be willing to communicate with your classmates, as they may have valuable opinions and suggestions that may possibly be beneficial to you. The most valuable lesson that I have learned is to not procrastinate. Unfortunately, I have had a lot of unexpected events that have occurred in my life this semester, which has caused me to fall behind in a lot of different areas. The best advice that I can provide to any student starting this course, or any course for that matter, is to always stay ahead, if possible. You can’t predict the future and you never know what may come across your path, so always stay focused on your priorities and planning ahead is never a bad thing.

2.) What would you do differently if you were just starting the course?

- There are two things that I would definitely do different if given the chance to re-take the course. A.) As I mentioned above, I would definitely plan ahead. I would try my very best to stay at least one week ahead of schedule. This way, if something unexpected comes up on any given week, I will have already had my assignments done and do not have to worry about rushing at the last minute to get things done. B.) I would communicate more with my classmates. I have learned that the more open minded I am to accept suggestions from others, I am more likely to produce a high quality paper.

3.) On what would you focus more? On what would you focus less?

- I think these questions sort of recap to what I said in the first two questions. I would definitely focus more on my communication skills along...
