This week was stressful at first. Last weekend I cut out my data and taped them to different poster boards that had my subquestions on them. I turned it into arts and crafts which made it a little bit more fun to organize it, but didn’t really do much for me. Then on Sunday it said to write your results. I thought, “Hmm… I could write my results in a sentence or two, but I have to make it like six to seven pages.” So I sat there Sunday night and tried to think of what to do. Then on Monday, I sat down and looked at my boards and kept looking at them. I guess I thought if I stared at them something would come to me, didn’t happen. So I decided to write what I could about the setting and rewrote the methods section to past tense. Once that happened, I was able to keep writing the different sections.
So far I have received feedback from Sara and she suggested that I combine the analyzing and results together. I thought this was a good idea because it was quite repetitive and although some of the sections are supposed to be it seems, it seemed like there were a few times I was saying the exact same thing in the analyze data and result section. I didn’t know exactly what this would look like though. Then today I was able to read Cherie’s paper and she had a combination of the analyzed data and results in her paper which helped make Sara’s suggestion make a lot more sense in my head. So this week I feel like I have a good foundation of my rough draft to make the changes before I submit my final draft. It was good to be able to read other people’s papers to get ideas of how to make mine better and it was good to have others read my paper because it’s easier for others to see grammatical errors than for you to see them in your own paper.
