My advice on writing a scientific paper for the first time is to take your time pay attention to what you are wanting to say, pick a topic that you have little or no opinion over. Make sure you follow the directions from your instructor.Pay very close attention to which format you need to use when writing your paper. I have never used APA format before, so to me this was confusing. Well to be honest in high school I never had to use any kind of citations. Now that I am at Kaplan University I have to use them on everything I do unless it comes straight form myself. I do not know if anything strengthened in the past 10 weeks during this course, but I did have fun. In the improvements area, I feel that there are lots of things that I could use improvement on. For example, using APA format, I could diffidently use some improvements on this, but I am still learning APA format.
