Gaige Wessling's Rhetoric Shtuff

The first source is a journal article from Science Progress, which goes in depth about the specific definitions and characterizations of Organic Chemistry. It's a good example of secondary research that acts as an academic piece, but with an easier diction considering the scope of the piece.

It has always felt in high school that every paper had some kind of basic formula they wanted you to employ, and that every paper come out in some kind of cookie-cutter method. It is quite nice though, just being given an idea and a due date, and leaving the rest to us. I love the idea of being able to use some of my own creativity in this assignment. I feel that I understand the assignment pretty well, though I may have a few questions. Would it be appropriate to e-mail professors in our field and ask them if they'd be willing to do an interview?
