Five Things You Can Do To Research for a Paper Due in Class on Wednesday
- Choose Your Topic. Choosing your topic is the most important thing in your paper, as you paper is going to talk about that specific topic. Be careful when choosing a topic, don't choose something you can't talk much about. Also make sure to choose a topic that would interest the reader, if its your professor choose something you think they would like to read, if its your friends, choose something they would like to read, etc.
- Look for information on your online. Looking online is by far the easiest and more efficient way to look for information on your topic. If you do make sure the source is relatable and not controlled by the normal human population. Sources of this nature include “Wikianswers.com”, “Ask.com” etc. Make sure your sources are reliable.
- Look for information at the library. Sometimes the old ways are the best. Especially if you're not in excess of a computer. Go to your local library! The library is a more time consuming way of looking for information, but it is reliable.
- Take notes. You are not going to put every single word you read on your essay, that's plagiarism, and you will go to St. Quentin State Prison. Instead of serving time, take notes! Taking notes is definitely an efficient way of acquiring information without have to carry books or always have to look at the website. Besides only some of the information useful, for the rest are just details. You just want the main ideas.
- Organize. Organization is a must. If its at work, school, or just simply your house. If you don't have organization you don't have order. So organize your ideas, and therefore you’ll make paragraphs, and eventually you’ll make an essay. A good tip to follow is to always put the most intriguing information in your first body paragraph in order to get the reader’s attention. Follow this, and you’ll have a paper, ready to go by Wednesday.
