Question 9 • 25-26 ENG 4A DLOC – 3052376
Read the description a student gave about how he wrote his research paper.First, I analyzed the prompt to determine what my topic was going to be. I formulated a research plan and schedule and then wrote my research question. Then I found valid sources to use in my research and began learning about my topic. I organized what I found and wrote my draft, making sure to cite my sources. Finally, I edited it for grammar, structure, and readability.
Answer
A
The research plan and schedule should have been written after the research questions.
B
Analyzing the prompt should have happened after the research plan had been created.
C
Organizing the draft should have happened after editing for grammar and structure.
D
Finding sources and researching should have been done before writing the research question.
Explanation
After analyzing the prompt, the student should form a focused research question and then make a plan and schedule for answering it. In the description, he made the plan before writing the research question, so choice A correctly identifies the step that should be changed. The later steps—finding sources, organizing information, drafting, and editing—are in a sensible order.
