The worst, yet most crucial part of a research paper is the beginning. In order to start the paper you have to have some evidence and examples to back up your thesis, the class period at Dirac made searching for sources in order to begin the actual writing of the research paper.

She explained to us the importance of keywords when searching for articles because it really narrows the search. Chapter 14 of the McGraw Hill Handbook was a lot of information that i have seen before, most of it due to the Dirac lesson I attended.
