My reflections on the Mid-Term reaserch paper are thankful. The Reaserch paper was a great way to learn how to reaserch correctly. It also showed me how to create a Power Point presentation which i was not familiar with before the reserch paper. Learning how to create a Power Point presentation is a very useful concept because if my other classes ask for a Power Point presentation i am familiar with the concept on how to make one. The Reaserch paper also helped me learn how to write in MLA format. Before this paper i didnt know how to write in MLA format or any format in that. I just knew i had to indent and start new paragraphs. A paper that is written in MLA format gives much more information from were you are getting your information from. Its is also much neater and and looks much more profesional. My project topic was Jayson Blair. Learning about Blair made me realize how easy it was to plagerise and cheat. Jayson Blair was a journalist for the New York Times who cheated and falsely made up storys to benefit him self. The storys he was putting in the paper were being plagerised from other papers or were just being compleatly made up. This project taught me alot. It benifited me in the ways that i learned alot of valuable information and i hope it benifited others to open up the audience eyes about Jayson Blair
