If there is such a thing as a researcher gene, I have it because gathering and evaluating sources of information came pretty easy to me. Compiling the stories, facts, and circumstances into a cohesively read eight-page research paper, did not. It was truly a daunting task. I was grateful for the highlighted sections and dog-eared pages of “The Craft of Research”. It served as step-by-step directions for the process. I took advantage of paper-rater, a thesaurus, and a list of transition words. In the end though, the feedback provided by Professor Clermont-Ferrand (twice) and eTutoring (three drafts) helped me write a research paper I am proud of. I have included my abstract because, in some ways, it was harder to write than the paper itself. I found it difficult to encapsulate all the information I felt necessary into a single, cohesive
