Throughout my University career I have been given numerous opportunities to write a variety of different types of papers. These types of papers ranged from argumentative sociology essays to scientific research papers.

In my freshman year of University I had to write two sociology essays for my sociology class. I began the essay process by first choosing a topic that I could be interested in. My topic of choice for the two different essays included interracial marriages and the effects of domestic violence on children. I then began my research at the University library after choosing my topic. I found it useful and less time consuming to structure my three main points first and then working backwards to write my thesis. Once completing my research I then basically sat down to write two very great argumentative essays.

In my sophomore year of University I predominantly focused on taking biology courses. A few of my biology courses were intense lab courses and as a result I was required to write all my lab reports up in a scientific research form. These papers required an abstract, introduction which included the hypothesis, materials and methods, results, and conclusion. It was interesting to write these papers because through the results that I obtained I was able to confer a reasonable conclusion as to what has scientifically occurred.

From the above past writing experiences I would have to say that I enjoyed writing scientific research papers the most. It was very exciting to discover from my results that I may have completed an experiment successfully. Regardless of completing it successfully or not I would always learn something new about biology.
