Klein Summary: In "What Is It We Do When We Write Articles Like This" Michael Klein tries to explain to us the proper way to go about writing a research paper. He interviews many different writers to see if his theory is correct. One of the answers he gives us is the Hunter and Gatherer Model, another is that he thinks students need to be better taught by their instructors on how to better enrich their writing (page 31).
1) What Klein talks about is very similar to the way I write, and a lot of the people I know write. I wasn't taught very well how to do proper research growing up.
3) Klein makes it seem as if sources aren't as important to professionals as it is to students. We are taught to cite everything or else it is considered plagiarism, and the professionals kind of just use their own knowledge that they have gained and a lot more of their ideas.
4) I would change the way I do research by doing a lot more reading and trying to understand a lot more about what I am reading. I used to just try and find a bunch of quick facts and quotes to use for my paper and sometimes after a paper I still wouldn't understand it.
Review: Overall I think that the article was definitely beneficial because it really opened my eyes on how I do research.
I agree that this article is very beneficial because just as you I was never how to properly do research.
