Interview

For my interview I interviewed my best friend Steven. He is a junior at Jacksonville state. He told me that he has written a fair amount of research papers throughout college. He told me that the biggest difference for him in college was the fact that his professor made him use a variety for sources. He told me that he had to use a book, a article and a website for ever paper he wrote. He told me that the article could be from an online database or it could be a published article. He also told me that if you did not cite something right or forgot to cite a source the professor would most likely give you a zero for plagiarizing. He also say that his professors required much longer papers than he was use to writing. He said that in his upper level classes five pages was the minimum. Steven also informed me that his professor counted off for every error. Steven told me that when I start working on a research paper I do not need to wait till the last minute to do it, he says that it will be tough to find information and that i need to start as soon as I can. One important thing i have learned about writing papers for me is that content is everything, content is what makes the paper.
