This entry discusses how the research forum aided in the writing process.

The prompt today asked us to think of what ways utilizing the research forum helped in developing our writing processes. Some of the understandings that I’ve come to after our research forum pertain to the way that I will end up structuring my survey and questions that I will ask. I also realized the importance of writing an outline for my paper rather than just diving in and trying to do it all in one swoop. Creating an outline will be a great route to take and will help to negate some of the stress that I feel currently. I came to these realizations just by talking with my group and asking them what kinds of strategies they generally implement in their early stages of writing. By doing this I was able to get a different perspective from what I am accustomed to, but from my peers, rather than professors or online sources.
