My topic was on the perils of artificial intelligence in the film I, Robot. My thesis sentence was: I will argue that the possible danger of robot technology outweighs its possible promises as portrayed in the film I, Robot. I made many discoveries while doing this paper. For one, I discovered the importance of choosing the right sources for a paper. I also discovered that writing a research paper is not as hard as it seems. When you really are interested in a topic and you take time to research it makes the paper much easier. Lastly I discovered the proper way to write a college-level thesis statement. The database that I found most important was the Gale Virtual Library. This is because it really helped me understand what artificial intelligence is and the history behind it.
I would tell a future student to stay on top of the paper as you go along. The professor really walks you through the paper and it is very helpful.. He gives you all of the resources. It's just up to you if your going to keep up with the work. You really can learn a lot about your topic and how to write a college-level research paper. I wish I could have take my own advice because I wouldn't feel like I was rushing to complete my paper at the end. I feel that I would have been right on track if I followed all of the steps that the professor had planned out for us.
