Tips For Writing A Term Paper And Making It Stand Out

Friday, October 15, 2010

As soon as you're old enough to go to high school you'll be required to write term papers and if you go onto college you'll be still be writing these same papers.

There is nothing scary about writing research papers, so long as you have an idea of what you need to do to write one. So as long as you fully understand what your teacher or professor is asking for, a term paper will be fairly easy to write. If you don't understand what is expected of you, then ask, it's much better to feel a bit silly for asking the question than to fail the paper because you weren't sure what was needed.
Once you know what you're supposed to be doing, it will be a lot easier to get on with your paper. The first thing you will need to do is to visit the school or college library to find the books that will help you to write your paper. Whether you are writing an English paper or a history paper you will need information, besides your class notes to do it properly. You won't need to read all the material you get because you're reading just for information.

You should have some idea of what you want, as you can then search through the index of the book to find the pages or chapters that are relevant to what you're going to write about. If you know what you're looking for, it's much easier to decide how you're going to use the material; you should be jotting down some things that might go into your paper while you're your reading. When you take notes this way, it will give you the basic information you need for your paper.

Once you have written down your basic ideas you should then look through the points you have made and number them in order of importance. By now you should have some idea of how you're going to argue your case in the paper. Most term papers have a logical argument that's contained within the body of the paper, i.e. where you give most of the answer to the question by considering different argument;s some that you might agree with and some that you may disagree with.

When you have the basis of your term paper written down, you need to think about an introduction. Most people who start with an introduction often find that it needs rewriting afterwords, so it won't hurt to leave this until after you have structured your argument and said what you want to say. The introduction should lay out the question and give some idea of how you plan to answer that question.

Now that you have the main part of your argument and also an introduction to the paper, the next thing that you will need to write on, is a conclusion or end to your paper. A conclusion should sum up what you have said in the body of the paper and then round things off neatly.
