Personal Essays and Research Papers
During your school career you have probably written many personal essays that presented your thoughts, feelings, and opinions and that did not refer to any other source of information or ideas. Some assignments, however, require us to go beyond our personal knowledge. We
undertake research when we wish to explore an idea, probe an issue, solve a problem, or make an argument in relation to what others have written. We then seek out and use materials beyond our personal resources.
The outcome of such an inquiry appears in the research paper. The term research paper describes a presentation of student research that may be in a printed, an electronic, or a multimedia format.
 
Types of Research
The research paper is generally based on a combination of primary research and secondary research. Primary research is the study of a subject through firsthand investigation, such as analyzing a literary or historical text, a film, or a performance; conducting a surveyor an
interview; or carrying out a laboratory experiment. Primary sources include statistical data, historical documents, and works of literature or art. Secondary research is the examination of studies that other researchers have made of a subject. Examples of secondary sources are
articles and books about political issues, historical events, scientific debates, or literary works.
