, The lessons that I learned from writing the Scientific Research Paper (SRP)
When I first began the process of writing the Scientific Research Paper (SRP), I felt as
though the small vision and clarity I had for writing; in which I thought my original blindness
and fogginess within my mind had forever left me, was still there and it felt as though it was
getting denser. “Apparently, we have become such a hyper-individualized culture that it is
impossible to develop an argument based on how individual cases fit into the fabric of the
common good” (Brooks, 2014, para.13). This quote form the first critical engagement activity,
has helped me to understand that being self – centered will not help me to accomplish the
massive task of writing the SRP and only with the use of teamwork, would this massive task be
properly completed. The two lessons that I learned about critical reading and writing, while I
prepared the SRP were how to generate ideas and narrow my focus based on a specific topic, and
how to proofread and edit the information.
A significant issue that I didn’t address in previous writing was my ability to properly
generate ideas for a topic and how to develop a narrowed topic; not only for writings done before
I started writing the SRP, also while I helped write the SRP. This realization may have important
relevance for two reasons. First it implies that my previous method for the process of ideation, in
which I created ideas, then documented any information about the idea and only going through
this process once, was not proper means of developing ideas for the SRP. Secondly, the
development of the SRP required through planning and research of our information and my team
members perspectives and strengths being brought together. This understanding is important in a
number of ways. First, it has demonstrated to me that writing is not a mindless process, but one
that required me to repeatedly create, expound and develop ideas for the SRP. Secondly, in order
for my group members and I to generate ideas, previous readings needed to be done in order for
