Reaction to the Nelson Reading

I found myself offended by Nelson's writing. I felt as if he knew a dirty little secret, I am Beth. I find myself doing the same things that she did: procrastinating, repeating information, etc. In my case, I giving a lot of facts is what I was taught needed to be in a research paper. I also think it is the safe way to do a research paper. The person writing it does not really have to worry about their developmental process in regards to their reaction and/or interpretation of the information he or she found. If one merely sticks to writing facts and giving a one paragraph conclusion of everything and (maybe) inserting at the end, one's own opinion, its easier and there can be no argument. However, the paper is boring at that point! I think practice in the process of actually writing the paper AFTER doing research and formulating a strong thought is the best and most effective, not to mention beneficial strategy for writing a research paper.
