Some times its better to keep it all good without crap, but simetimes a teacher is just asking for the crap. Its okay to have a little crap, but keep the crap level low and quality level high :)

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.

Writer's Blocks looks interesting. I am trying to write a book as well. Let's compare notes.\n\nhttp://www.writerssupercenter.com/writersblocks/freetrial.htm

It's a witty way of summarizing the body of your paper in a single sentence conclusion.  An example I found off the net was "poverty is not a great issue, if everyone is poor."

I once heard that any paper was restricted to only 7 folds.\n\nGuess I'll be checking it out. There goes productivity for the day...

It depends on the expected length - as a rule, a 2000 word essay of about 3 or 4 pages should be planned with an introduction (similar to the summary at the end and should be written last of all so as to include a snippet of what will be in the whole report) and a basic relevant topic for each paragraph - there should be about 6 paragraphs, each with a decent link to the subject of the report. That's a good basis for a plan. Plan about 4 main points for each paragraph and then the report should write itself. Make sure you include foot notes if you're in secondary school and refer to sources of evidence (depending on the subject). I hope this was of help.

What paper would that be??

Answering the question that was asked. That's a big one because many people only partly asnwer or don't even really answer it. No bs either. Don't babble just to fill more space. Being creative and throwing in a little humor doesn't hurt either. If you are writing a paper, be interested in your subject and do good research. It will show. Take a unique or unpopular angle and make a good argument for it. Follow a strict outline, so it's structured and makes sense.

I would not recommend incorporating humor in a RESEARCH paper. A research paper should be strickly data derived from various sources to cover a specific topic. It should be seriously written- it is not an opinion or reflection paper. Just my 2 cents....

I reckon that it should be marked on how well the paper is written, as it is unfair to people who put a lot of effort into a paper and get crap grades, compared to other people who write what the teacher wants to hear without trying and getting better grades...not fair to the students who tried!

as long as your paragraphs dont suck

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!

starting with a quote is always good, make sure it relates to your paper.\n\nor you could say "(subject) and (subject) seem to be very alike in many ways. However, they are actually very different."\n\nhave fun!

These days, with the online submissions and everything, length isn't as important.  Traditionally, back in the old paper days, entry-level and those with not much experience kept their resume to one page.  Those with quite a bit of experience and therefore much to write about would go for 2 pages.\n\nNow, if you have enough *substance* to go for 2 pages, that's fine.  If it's just fluff, then stay at a page.\n\nYou want to print out 2 separate sheets because many times employers will see the first page and think that is it, so they'll miss your second page if it's on the other side, especially if the paper is thick and you can't see through it.

When grad schools ask for a 15-30 page writing sample, they are asking for evidence that you are competent in solid research, and conversant with current methodologies.\n\nYour writing sample should be carefully selected, and should represent your best work.  I am surprised that you do not have many research papers of this length from which to choose, since most undergraduate programs in history routinely require 15-25 page papers.  Since you do not have a suitable paper, I would strongly suggest that you judiciously select from your past work, research your topic further, and revise and extend that paper to about 20 pages.  \n\nHere are some helpful hints as you revise:\n\nArticulate a strong, contestible thesis statement\nMarshal your evidence from an array of reputable sources (books, journal articles, and primary souce materials)\nEmploy current methods/theories\nMake sure your argument is well-supported and sustained throughout the paper\nCompose a compelling conclusion\n\nBest wishes to you!

Not a good idea.  You should analyze the content of the quotation, and then pull together your paragraph and transition smoothly to the next one.  Even if it's the last paragraph of the paper, it tends to be a lot stronger to end your paper with your words and ideas- not someone else's.

This is going to sound a bit snarky, but it sounds like your writing needs a good critique.  Your question is basically incomprehensible.  The first thing a writer should do is make his point clear.
