What I learned throughout the course after completing my preliminary evaluation of three primary sources was the different resources available to find other sources. I also learned how to evaluate the sources to make sure they are primary sources and whether or not they would be helpful to my research. I am still gravitating toward doing my research on the pyramids but I have developed an interest in Brave New World after reading the book How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe. After attending the symposium, I learned many key things about the research paper, for example, the process of creating a research question and gathering sources. Throughout Professor Fan’s lectures, I regained interest in literary analysis and taking a deeper dive into the meaning of the books.
