Writing a Research Paper

Journal Prompts


1		Write about your experiences writing research papers so far in your school experience. Have you learned things that you will repeat for future college papers?



2		Are there any experiences you would choose not to repeat?



3		List some topics that might make interesting research papers. These could apply to classes you are taking now, or to classes you intend to take for your major. They could also be topics of personal interest that you would like to investigate, whether or not they apply to any school context.



4		What are your views on plagiarism?



5		Do you know of anyone who has gotten caught stealing someone else's work?



6		What were the consequences for that person?



7		What do you think are fair consequences for college students who deliberately steal another person's work, whether it is a published author or another student?



8		What would you say to a friend who was doing this but hadn't yet gotten caught?
