The research paper was definitely the most difficult of the three major papers in the class. I have never written a research paper before this one, so it was difficult to do with no prior experience. This paper was the only one of the three that I did not receive an A on, but I was still able to earn a B for it. Thanks to Professor Padgett's feedback, I made several revisions to it and was hopefully able to turn it into an A-quality paper. I also received a lot of feedback from classmates during our final workshop day. I found it very difficult to reach the five page minimum without repeating myself and losing the effect that I was trying to have. The paper itself was not very difficult, especially with the feedback I received, but the length requirement was a definite issue.
