Starting on a new project can be difficult. After comming up with a topic there is research to be done. When taking notes I make sure that I write down my reference with it; I learned the hard way that this is a REAL good idea. After writing down serveral quotes and paraphrases, it is hard to remember where the information came from. I have tried to use different techniques for note taking, like bubbling, but I just can't seem to make it work for me. Making out an outline seems to really start to put the paper into perpective. Just like "drag and drop", I insert my notes into the outline. From this point I can see what topic in the outline needs more or less information inputted. When my outline is finished I can then write out a rough draft of the paper and the make any changes I need to the paper before the final draft.
Kaplan has influenced my like because I am finally getting to finish my college education that has been put off for too long. I am lucky, at the moment, to not be working and I can concontrate on my studies...and my family. I made that BIG step in changing my life. I AM going to have a CAREER, not just a JOB! I am not having any accidemic difficulties at the moment, but who knows what the next chapter/term may hold for me. I just keep positive and keep my goal insight.
MORE TO COME....

I too, enjoy to bubble it allows to focus on specific informaton. I realized a lot of people use outlining for a prewriting technique, I may have to try this style. I hope to read your final paper.
