If it's a community college level, don't put too much pressure on yourself.\nTerm paper is a report of a collection of articles focusing on one question. You can state how that question interests you. Or why you want to research over this topic.\nAfter that is the body of the paper, you can put together the summary of articles you've read in an an order that help answer the original question.

Come up with a general thesis, like "Evil exists because of humans" or something like that. Then find your sources. Write a long paragraph based on the information from each source that pertains to that thesis. Then, put the paragraphs from each source in some sort of order, based on how they flow the best. Then, in between each paragraph, fill in with more paragraphs that combine ideas with one another, so that they flow. If you used, say, 6 sources, you should have about 6 pages by now. Then, read through and fill in points and embellish the ideas that are already there. Voila... 12 pages. Make sure you take snack and rest breaks every 2 hours or so. Good luck!

When writing, make sure to pay careful attention to:\n\n1.SUBSTANCE\n\nSubstance refers to the content of the essay and the message you send out. It can be very hard to gauge in your own writing. One good way to make sure that you are saying what you think you are saying is to write down, briefly and in your own words, the general idea of your message. Then remove the introduction and conclusion from your essay and have an objective reader review what is left. Ask that person what he thinks is the general idea of your message. Compare the two statements to see how similar they are. This can be especially helpful if you wrote a narrative. It will help to make sure that you are communicating your points in the story. Here are some more questions to ask yourself regarding content.\n\nHave I answered the question asked?\n\nDo I back up each point that I make with an example? Have I used concrete and personal examples?\n\nHave I been specific? (Go on a generalities hunt. Turn the generalities into specifics.)\n\nCould anyone else have written this essay?\n\nWhat does it say about me? After making a list of all the words you have used within the essay -- directly and indirectly -- to describe yourself, ask: Does this list accurately represent me?\n\nDoes the writing sound like me? Is it personal and informal rather than uptight or stiff?\n\nRegarding the introduction, is it personal and written in my own voice? Is it too general? Can the essay get along without it?\n\n\n2.STRUCTURE\n\nTo check the overall structure of your essay, conduct a first-sentence check. Write down the first sentence of every paragraph in order. Read through them one after another and ask the following: \nWould someone who was reading only these sentences still understand exactly what I am trying to say? \nDo the first sentences express all of my main points? \nDo the thoughts flow naturally, or do they seem to skip around or come out of left field? \nNow go back to your essay as a whole and ask these questions: \nDoes each paragraph stick to the thought that was introduced in the first sentence? \nDoes a piece of evidence support each point? How well does the evidence support the point? \nIs each paragraph roughly the same length? Stepping back and squinting at the essay, do the paragraphs look balanced on the page? (If one is significantly longer than the rest, you are probably trying to squeeze more than one thought into it.) \nDoes my conclusion draw naturally from the previous paragraphs? \nHave I varied the length and structure of my sentences? \n\n\n3.INTEREST\n\nMany people think only of mechanics when they revise and rewrite their compositions. As we know, though, the interest factor is crucial in keeping the admissions officers reading and remembering your essay. Look at your essay with the interest equation in mind: personal + specific = interesting. Answer the following:\n\nIs the opening paragraph personal? \nDo I start with action or an image? \nDoes the essay show rather than tell? \nDid I use any words that are not usually a part of my vocabulary? (If so, get rid of them.) \nHave I used the active voice whenever possible? \nHave I overused adjectives and adverbs? \nHave I eliminated clichés? \nHave I deleted redundancies? \nDoes the essay sound interesting to me? (If it bores you, imagine what it will do to others.) \nWill the ending give the reader a sense of completeness? Does the last sentence sound like the last sentence? \n\n4.PROOFREADING\n\nWhen you are satisfied with the structure and content of your essay, it is time to check for grammar, spelling, typos, and the like. You can fix obvious things right away: a misspelled or misused word, a seemingly endless sentence, or improper punctuation. Keep rewriting until your words say what you want them to say. Ask yourself these questions:\n\nDid I punctuate correctly? \nDid I eliminate exclamation points (except in dialogue)? \nDid I use capitalization clearly and consistently? \nDo the sub

A term paper is a lengthy essay-format research document, written at the end of a school term.\n\nhttp://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=term+paper&db=*\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=how+to+write+term+paper&btnG=Google+Search

The first step is to decide what your subject is about. Then you need to determine your purpose and audience. Your purpose may be writing to inform, persuade, compare and contrast, entertain, etc. When you decided your purpose, you then tailor it to your audience. These are two very important aspects for writing. They help to govern what will and will not be included in your essay. \n\nThe next step is to pre-write. I like doing two or three different kinds, depending on what I'm doing. Brainstorm for ideas, list, create a venn diagram, develop an outline (usually a later step, to help organize), develop a web diagram, talk into a tape recorder. Do what ever you need to start your paper. \n\nThe Second pre-writing stage, should be some sort of organization. You do not have to stay to this organization. Instead its used to guide you as you write your paper.\n\nThird, start drafting. Don't worry about mistakes. Those will be taken care of later. Jut get your thoughts down. My suggestions is to write on paper, every other line (this helps with revisions), unless you absoulutley cannot write without the computer. There is no one area you have to start with. You can start with the body paragraphs, and then join them later with the intro and conclusion, or you can start with the intro, and work your way down. As you write your paper, remeber you need to support it well. Think of it as an elephant. If an elephant has 0-2 legs, it will not stand. Three legs will allow it remain standing, but will still be a little wobley. However, four legs gives it perfect balance. \n\nDo not put in to much information, as your paragraphs may be come crowded with details. Instead, if it looks like you may have seval ideas that branch off and flow, then you might have several paragraphs in one. \n\nThe fourth step is to revise. This does not include grammatical, punctuation, or spelling. Those will be taken care of at a later time. Instead, concentrate on the major issues. There is a good acronym to help you remember what to do here: ARMS-Add, Remove, Move, or Start all over. Look at your paper and decide if you need to add information, remove it, move sentences to another location, or if you need to start all over again. Do not be afraid to start all over. Sometimes, are first efforts do not do the job. So instead, we need to rewrite. If you wrote it out on every other line, you will be able to add your revisions in the spaces not written. Make sure to use a different colored ink or pencil, to help you find the changes. Also, use highlighters, to color code your changes, if your a very visual person. If possible, have others make comments over your paper. \n\nThe final step is to edit. Once you have rewritten your paper, you need to then start looking for the minor mistakes, that prevent your paper from flowing smoothly. If you want, you can type it on the computer. There are many programs that will help with editting, if you are not sure about what to correct.  \n\nGood luck

You have to narrow it down. For your opening paragraph start from a general statement, then narrow it down to your 3 topics. On a separate piece of paper write down 3 MAIN ways on how your friend has influenced you. Then for every topic write 3 examples to justify your topic. And that's your paragraph. For your conclusion, well try not to repeat the same thing all over again. Do it, but use different ways to explain. And for your last sentence go back to your MAIN topics and summarize them.

Well, it depends on what the paper is about.  Usually a solid idea is a good start, followed by credible sources.  After that, gather all the information you think you might need and write up an outline and be as specific as possible.\n\nDon't fret too much about your thesis - it's difficult to write a paper to a thesis.  Get a good idea and a loose thesis and go with it.  When you get father along in your paper, then you can go back and work on your thesis.  \n\nBasically, when writing a good paper, you are going to tell them (the reader) what you're going to tell them (the thesis and introduction, then you are going to tell them what you said you will tell them (body of the paper), then you'll tell them what you already told them (conclusion).  Assume that the reader has NEVER heard of the topic before (unless it's a 2-4 page paper, in which case you probably don't have room to make that assumption).  Explain your topic and your points in an easy to understand way that includes complex and analytical ideas.\n\nMost of all, don't procrastinate.  Get started early.  That will relieve a lot of stress from the paper writing process.

A good paper is clear and concise.   Take time to gather your thoughts about the subject, and for your particular topic, I'd suggest the following:\n\n1)Recall some of the things that the speaker said, and what s/he talked about while s/he was in your class.\n\n2)Make sure your facts are accurate.  Nobody likes for the paper to make a mistake when it's writing about them!\n\n3)Make sure your paper follows an orderly, logical sequence and makes sense to people who weren't there for the speaker's presentation.\n\n4)Give your and your classmate's thoughts on the presentation and tell about how it has helped you in your class.

You've never written an essay before and you're at the university? That seems strange. Anyway...In your introduction, you should briefly mention the three articles you are comparing and contrasting. Then, as you discuss each in the body paragraphs you can just refer to each article by the author's last name. For example, you could say, "The Smith article says that...." etc. It wouldn't hurt to add a brief appendix at the end.

Allybama you should be nice to yourself you got to college that means you are alot smarther than you think :) Most colleges use the MLA Formatting and Style Guide in regards to your question. \nIt would take too long to explain how to do it. The best thing I can offer is a website which you can read and then do what is says on your research paper.\nHere is the link: \n http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/557/01/\n\nGood luck i know you will be able to do it, and I hope you get a top mark on your research paper :)

www.wordtechs.com\n\nThey won't write a college paper for you, but they have student rates and will do the research and pull what you've written into a readable, passing form. I had them look over some of my college work, and it was way cheap, and all of my papers were definitely improved for having them look over it.\n\nGood luck!

Whenever I am procrastinating (which is more frequently than I would care to admit) I find it best to take the easiest, least drudge-like task and tackle it first. So start with an outline to the papers, write your name, your professors name leave a blank for the title, Section it off into sections reading "thesis statement", introductory paragraph etc. It' sjust easier that way. Ok, this said, I will now get a start on my two papers that are due on Thursday! Thanks for the reminder. (And by the way your thoughts aren't useless :)

depends what kind of paper it is supposed to be, and what your topic is. There's a good textbook you might want to look up called Fundamentals of Good Writing: A Handbook of Modern Rhetoric. We used it in my AP English and Composition last year. It has every type of paper and how to write it in there. Good luck!

For any paper, here's a few good fool-proof tips. \n\nFirst of all, no whether you enjoy outlines or not, make one, and  you can't fail. Just think about what "social" or "cultural" effects your family, culture, or even home town have on you, and seperate those effects into what will later be as many body paragraphs as you want. \n\nSecond, somewhere in your introduction you need a sentence that states your number one main point in the whole paper. This should include a "what" and a "why". For example: My mother taught me to be an independent latina by raising me alone in a strange city when she moved to Chicago from Spain.\n\nNext, each paragraph has a topic sentence, which includes one of the "effects", and this topic sentence should relate to or prove the main sentence in the introduction paragraph. \n\nAdditionally, any following sentence should relate to your topic sentence, and should go in the order of fact, and then afterthought. \n\nIn the conclusion, keep it light and simple, and just quickly wrap things up. \n\nOfcourse we've all learned these things in elementary school, but when you lay it out like this in a formulaic type of way, it all just sort of seems to flow. Take it easy, and stay on topic. And more importantly, whatever class this paper is for, include as many vocab words relating to it as possible. \n\nThis formula on its own can get you a B. With a little hard work, you got your self an A. Good Luck!!

Begin with Dear Formal Name.  Before you start, answer these 4 questions in complete sentences.  This might sound silly, but it is quite effective.\n\n1.  What is my topic?\n\n2.  What is the purpose of this essay?  Complete:  I want to _________________.  \n\n3.  Who is my audience?\n\n4.  Write your "working" thesis statement (to be tweaked in revision).  \n\nEven though it sounds silly, this is one of the most important parts of organizing an essay.  We often have an idea of what we want to write, and may think we are quite focused.  However, I often find that I wasn't really as focused as I thought when I complete this simple worksheet.  \n\nSince this is a letter, you want to keep it short.  Choose three specific points to argue.\n\nWrite an outline.  Yes, I really do write outlines for important letters.  \n\nDon't wait until the last minute.  Allow time for at least 3 revisions.  Also, you should allow enough time to "walk away" for 24 hours before the last revision.  That way you view it with a fresh mind.  \n\nPROOFREAD!!!!  \n\nUse the first person as little as possible.  That is sometimes difficult in a letter, but it can be accomplished.  Do NOT begin a sentence with "I think."  Ther reader knows you think it.  Otherwise you would not be saying it.  \n\nEven those this is a letter, it is still formal writing.  Therefore you should eliminate the 2nd person altogether during revision.  \n\nThis sounds like an important letter, so you should take the time to really polish it up.  The more professional you sound, the more seriously you will be taken.  \n\nGood luck!
