Evolution of a research paper

     Looking over my research paper today, I see a big change from my first idea. The quiz, Multicultural Education and Equity Awareness Quiz, had sparked my original interest about racial inequality in the American justice system. Racial inequality is still a driving point in my paper, the economic problems surfaced.
     The real problem, I found, was that our very society has caused much of the problem, and imprisonment, the ‘War on Drugs’, and sub-sequent repeat offender problem are results of said society. That was the biggest change in development, having to re-arrange my paper to not just cover the racial injustice that the ‘Drug War’ causes.
     Throughout the course I really did learn a lot about the research paper writing. Really, the concept of research on the internet was new to me and this course, along with Ms. Stukenberg’s indepth instruction, taught me well. Although I have written many reports in my work field, this course really showed me how to apply indepth research as well as critique my sources. The structure of writing is also covered, and provides a good tool to refine skills.
     For anyone concidering this course, I would strongly recomend it. The on-line interaction with homework assisgnments and the blog were fun. The other positive was that it is hy-brid course, but also I would have to say that it means you do have to read, write, and work efficiently do to time constraints. In review; the knowledge I gained, the skills I refined, and the ability I recieved, give me no other alternative than to highly recomend both course and instructor.
