Something that I learned from this class is the proper way to organize and write an academic paper. Specifically, for engineering. I had never heard of APA format before this summer. Adding a table of contents and a cover letter wasn’t usually in my academic papers. I had never cited pictures and had never used paraphrasing to cite an article. My professor taught me that passive verbs were not commonly used in academic writing. She gave me resources that I could use to find articles and narrow down my research. This class gave me good practice in writing academic papers and technical descriptions. The assignments made me learn how to pick a topic, narrow down my research and prepare a solid thesis statement.
