Writing a research proposal seemed quite easy as the lecture taught us how to write a research proposal. As he explained, I thought writing a research proposal would not give any challenges because I believed that I had understood all that the lecturer was teaching. I wrote down a few notes about the research proposal format because I knew that the steps were the only thing that mattered and that it was necessary to master all the steps.
Our lecturer told us that it was good if we practiced how to right a research proposal so that we would have an easy time by the time we were to write the actual research proposal. He advised us that it was necessary to read APA style papers proposal. He said that the most examined proposals took the form of APA style papers. He said that lecturers prefer APA style papers because they are simple and easily understood by students.
As I read the APA style papers my perception of writing a research proposal changed because I came to realize that there was so much content in the APA style papers about proposal writing that I did not know and I also realized that the lecturer had not explained exhaustively all the steps of proposal writing.
I read many APA style papers and I got to understand better how to deal with my proposal writing. The APA style papers were so important because they help me realize that what the lecturer taught was not enough. If I did not read the APA style papers may be I would have thought I was able to write a good research proposal only to be shocked when the time came to write the proposal.
