I used the websites www.aresearchguide.com and rwc.hunter.cuny.edu/reading-writing, as well as the English tutors at Rockingham Community College. The first resource, www.aresearchguide.com, was very helpful in making me understand the steps needed to complete a successful research paper. I learned that there are eight steps to writing an A+ paper: 1) choose a topic, 2) find information, 3) state your thesis, 4) develop a tentative outline, 5) organize notes, 6) write a first draft, 7) revise the plan and 8) write the final document. The next source, www.hunter.cuny.edu, stated that the three things to consider when writing are: who the writer is, who the reader is, and what one is writing about. This hasn't helped me much in improving my organizational skills at the moment, but it could potentially be useful in the future. My final resource is the writing tutors here at RCC. I have used this resource several times already and it has been a great help. This helped with some of my punctuation and wording issues. The three resources I used to improve my organizational skills were helpful and I plan to use them for my entire future.
