ahhh research papers. They stress me out so much its ridiculous. In high school I was taught how to write completely different than what I am being taught now. In high school everything was so structured. You know the typical 5 paragraph essay? We were also taught that our conclusions should summarize everything up, and not leave the reader hanging. I am also told this now but I have such a hard time wrapping everything together without repeating myself. However todays lecture gave me an entire new perspective on conclusions. It really did help me out a lot. Another extremely difficult part from this paper was how to write down all of the information I have gathered from research. In high school I used to not have enough information to complete the page length. Now in college I was introduced to an entire new world of resources and now my problem is I have too much information. So my final question is....
Is it okay for my conclusion to tell a new story that may ask other questions?
Im just trying to figure out a way to avoid the typical conclusion.
Thankss

I am so stressed from this research paper too! I can seriously stare at the computer screen for hours and get nowhere because my mind seems to like to think about everything possible BUT what it is supposed to think about. It is so hard for me too to get out of the habit of just writing the 5 paragraph essays. I’m use to writing an intro stating my 3 topics of discussion, 3 paragraphs, and then a conclusion summarizing everything I just said. It is hard to be creative when you were taught to be so structured for the past for years. I am totally with you on that!
