College Research Paper Writing

Another finals week is here and many students are looking for help from online services that write custom research papers for a fee. If you are not interested in pay services, there are some free research paper assistance services that are extremely helpful to stressed students. Many of the most helpful services come through social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter. We will cover just a few here.

Facebook provides one of the largest communities in the world of college students. Paper Masters has 24 hour staff monitoring our Facebook Profile to provide assistance to any of our friends, clients and students. Post a comment or question, ask for help with your finals week research paper or just say “hey, what is Paper Masters about”.

Twitter is used throughout education for instant advice and help for students from academia. Paper Masters is available via Twitter for advice and assistance for college students, 24 hours a day. No fee, just free, professional advice or help from professional academic writers who know research papers inside and out. MLA format, Citation questions, advice on choosing a topic and any other question you have. Or better yet, just say “hello”!

TurnItIn.com is as common to college students blue books, pizza and cheap beer.  Write your term paper, submit it to TurnItIn.com and submit the paper and report to your professor. However, not all students want this process to be a part of the academic world. A group of high schools students have taken iParadigms, the owners of TurnItIn.com, to court for copyright infringement. The decision of the suite against TurnItIn.com was released this week, with the court voting that since no transformation of the work takes place, there is no violation of copyright.

This is an excellent victory for both students and colleges and universities. Services like TurnItIn.com assist in the fight against plagiarism and encouraging students to maintain academic integrity of their work. A recent study and subsequent authoring of a book about the study reveals that students care about plagiarism far more than colleges and university administrations give them credit for. Susan D. Blum reveals the results of a three year investigation into college culture and plagiarism in “My Word! Plagiarism and College Culture“. We will be reveiwing her book on this blog next week and I think most of you will be very surprised at what she finds. According to Blum’s findings, one can speculate that most students will applaud the court’s decision in favor of TurnItIn.com. If you have an opinion on the TurnItIn.com decision, we would love to hear it!

We discussed in last week’s post some easy ways to come up with a topic for a term paper. This week, we can take that topic and turn it into something that will blow your professor away with its insight and originality. Let me give you an example – You find Shakespeare dull and boring and you have a term paper on Romeo and Juliet. How can you relate Romeo and Juliet to what you love and write about something that will wow the professor? How about writing an English term paper that compares the All-American Rejects song “Dirty Little Secret” to Romeo and Juliet? That is what I mean by making the paper relevant and contemporary, no matter what the topic is. Read more…

According to the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, a recent trend in private universities is to offer a guarantee that if a student doesn’t graduate in 4 years, the 5th year is free! Pennsylvania’s Juniata College is one of several private schools to launch this program in hopes of attracting financially strapped parents. Since approximately only 1 in 3 college students actually graduate in 4 years, colleges like Juniata are hoping that parents will realize that two thirds of them will need to pay for an extra year they may not have budgeted for and be lured in by the 20% savings. Sound good parents? Well…wait just a minute…You have to have a bit of help from your college student… Read more…

Have you ever stared at a blank computer screen, heard the clock ticking in the background, the research paper due the next morning and you don’t even have a topic picked out yet? Picking out a term paper topic is one of the hardest parts of writing a research paper. If you pick a topic too narrow, you won’t be able to find enough information to write on. If your research paper topic is too broad, the whole paper will sound like fluff and there will be no focus to the writing. You must pick a topic that is narrow enough to be relevant to what you discuss each day in class, yet broad enough to be able to find interesting and informative resources. So how do you pick the perfect topic for a research paper? It is really quite simple to pick a research topic and you can do it five minutes or less! Read more…
