Resaerching a Topic

Research, for me, has always been difficult fir two reasons, one it makes an easy excuse to procrastinate, and two its is also difficult to find credible sources. A research paper is usually granted a large portion of time to complete and therefore is easy to put off. It is also very difficult to find sources that are credible. Even sources that seem credible sometimes aren't; for instance, a site i once visited was written by a doctor, it was an article on the first world war, but even though he was a doctor his specialty was biology not history, making the source just as useless as one written by a journalist.

  2. procrastination is definitely a downfall of researching....finding the right material and having a credible source is also hard.

  3. Procrastination is definitely my biggest stuggle. We were given over a month to write a research paper in my english 12 class last year, and I ended up not even picked a topic until a few days before it was due.
