Research Project Preface Research essays have also been quite enjoyable for me. Searching for a topic, and finding out new information can be entertaining, but it can also be difficult if you are researching a topic with little or developing information. My biggest flaw with research projects is that I tend to get most of my information from clips or documentaries, which could be hard to cite sometimes. It also proven to be issues with my past classes, but it is easier for me to process information through a video where someone is explaining it and show evidence or pictures of what they are saying, instead of reading something and trying to make sense of what they may mean. The topic for this essay in particular was simpler to gather information about, just because it is an issue that is so heavily impacting our environment and there is so much visual evidence backing it up.
