They Say, I Say Ch. 8-9

Credible authors are imperative when writing papers for English 101 because resources are a way to take one’s paper to a new level, which is exactly what the course is about: improvement.
When forming an educational body of writing, research, proofreading and editing tactics are vital to the overall performance of the paper. Because writing styles vary from individual to individual, consistency via paper format, word flow and punctuation allow pieces to captivate and be read by a broad range of audience. For example, the paper written for Paper One in English 101.21 was written in first person because it was a personal account and the author’s beliefs. Whereas, Paper Three’s argumentative tone creates a noticeably opposing author voice. However, the same general formation of paragraph composition is found in both; thus, making both college-level writing. Even though they do not serve similar purpose, both fulfill the paper requirements and use pertain an appropriate nature. When I wrote Paper One, I did not use any scholarly journals, electronic nor book-based facts because the criteria focused around my food beliefs and habits. Whereas, Paper Three required scholarly evidence and data to further support my thesis.
Choosing educationally-savvy and useful articles is difficult due to the amount of false information, especially found on the Internet. Because I want my papers to reach their fullest potential, I make sure that every research I use has an author. First and foremost, the knowledge that an accredited person was willing to put their name on a piece of work is reassuring. To double check the credibility, I often research the author’s other work as well. In addition, I do not stop at one source for a research paper. To dapple into the phrase, “Two heads are better than one,” the more viewpoints in one paper allows variety and a fair “Nay-Sayer” argument. Just as important as trustworthy authors are using resources that answer what is required of the paper. In other words, all evidence, statistics, and quotes should be based around the overall topic.
