Lessons Learned
Writing a research paper is not easy. Especially when you work full-time and have other classes to give attention to. That being said, I think for me an important lesson to take away from this is that time management and organization are critical to reaching time sensitive due dates. Also, the quality of the sources is crucial to the integrity of the paper.
Advice
I think the best advice I could give would be to pace yourself and don't be afraid to make mistakes along the way. For me finding good sources was fairly easy, but transitioning the information from source to paper I found extremely difficult. So try and experiment with different ways of using your source information. As for what database to use; use whatever works for you but make sure the quality pertains to your paper.
I'm not sure I would have done things differently to be honest. I think being that it was such a struggle for me to get this done makes the experience more enlightening to me for future use.
very good advice.
