More Research

            This week, my research has slowed down a little bit. I’ve pretty much found all my sources that I’ll need for my paper, so now I’m really just searching through my sources and highlighting the portions that I’m going to use in my paper. This part has been fairly easy, it just involves reading my sources and highlighting things that I think are interesting or important. The hard part is trying to incorporate all of my sources into my paper and make them flow together in my paper. This part I have found to be a bit more tedious because some of the facts are overlapping while some of them are so far apart that they almost deserve a whole paragraph to themselves. Once I can come up with a way to relate them together, however, it’s really easy to get the paper to flow and seem whole.

            Other observations I’ve made about researching are that Google and other search engines are way better to find good scholarly articles for my subject than any of the Oklahoma State databases are. The Oklahoma State databases don’t include many articles on Aviation, probably because it’s not a common topic to do research on for most. So, instead of those databases, I resorted to Google and government sites. Because of this, I have to verify that the information I am getting is accurate and not something that some average Joe wrote and is claiming as truth.

            All in all, research has gone really well. I’m really excited to see how this paper turns out!
