What I have learned about research through this project is mainly credibility of sources. I have determined that sources I once considered trustworthy may not be, and that certain sources I considered untrustworthy may be usable after all. Apparently, wikipedia is actually useful if I check the "references" and "bibliography" sections. I can look at those sources and get my information from them.
I also learned that my notecards weren't necessarily going to be even. Out of seven sources, I'm not going to have exactly 5 cards per source. I will probably have 10 for one and 3 for another and that's okay. Some of my sources were light in information but nevertheless were crucial to my paper.
So, in short, I learned to lighten up a bit. Lightening up allowed me to be less tense and to do my best.
