chapter 1

 
Chapter 1 of the Bedford Researcher was a very intriguing read; as it focuses on how to  properly start a research paper with the right mind set and preparation.

chapter one starts off by stating " write with confidence" and " take ownership of your project". In todays society confidence is an important thing to obtain, but while writing you can  not just be confidant, it is much more. Confidence comes from knowing and having a full understanding that what you're saying or writing is true. According to the Bedford Researcher a confidant research writer has a strong personal investment in the topic they are writing about. If the wirer is not confidant in their work they will not want to take ownership of it. Therefore understanding and truly knowing your topic will determine your confidence.

Throughout chapter 1,often a key component  that crossed my mind was " Analyze". Once given a project you should analyze it; determine how it will interest you and your readers. If the writer were to have no interest in the topic then the reader would be able to realize this and then also lose interest. While analyzing the project the writer will also need to determine who the preferred audience is, whether it be college students or elementary children.  In order to chose you topic you would need to know who your audience is. this chapter also taught me good tips on time management, so that i can be on schedule while completing my research paper.
