Let me just say that research essays are A LOT of work. They are most certainly not a walk in the park. Actually conducting the research and finding helpful and reliable sources is quite difficult, even if the UVU library search engine is super helpful.
It's also difficult not being one sided and not only looking for information that supports your argument. I keep having to remind myself that I have to address the opposing vie and refute it to better build my argument. That involves researching the other side of the argument which is tidious because I want to find research that helps me strengthen my argument not something that goes against it. However, in the long run having refuted the opposing side will make me more credible.
Though research is hard and long it is really cool to learn so much about just one specific thing. Dedicating your time to a narrowed down topic makes for a very interesting learning experience. I enjoy learning so this is good. This is very good. Hard work does pay off.
