The most interesting experience I had in Freshman Composition was the research essay. As I was doing it, it taught me a lot of things: the importance of breaking down sentences, maximizing information you engulf into, organization, and absorbing sensible details like databases, percentages, and many other sources to get my points across in genres. However, when doing my research essay, it was a lot of writing or typing for me to do, it was also a lot of gathering my information and quotes from my genres. In other words, it was the information part that really got me the most when doing it because I had to go through four of my sources to look up every information that I found might suit my research paper stupendously. While doing that, I also looked up databases and percentages that I found might come in resourcefully in it too, in which it also taught me a lesson to my essay. The best technique that I could ever think of using while doing this was the synthesis part, because it finally helped me see the ups and downs of my research paper on “The Future of COVID-19 in education.” Organizing your ideas is also an important lesson I learned because it is very important to keep your paragraphs neat and concise so that the audience will know which paragraph talks about that specific topic, and to make sure to break down your paragraphs as well. The research essay overall may be difficult, but also fascinating and fun to do, and I hope to gain more information and databases next time I do another time-consuming essay. Learning about all of these things will help me write a better essay in the near future.
