If Only...Romeo and Juliet and Text Messaging
Back in the industrial revolution, technology got a bad rap. Think of the film Metropolis and Fritz Lang’s depiction of the future of industrial labor under the strong arm of technology. However, today’s college students can hardly scoff at technology, as it drives their lives in nearly every aspect. Journalism classes at Purdue University require Twitter accounts; New software called Hotseat allows students to ask questions live, during class via their facebook, twitter, myspace or sms accounts. Think of the limitless possibilities of social media technology in light of past predicaments. If only Juliet had text messaging, that whole “I just committed suicide” misunderstanding could have been avoided. I can see it now…Juliet texts Romeo “brb…taking fake poison…napping, catch you later in tomb”. Easy as that, no communication problems. Think about Twitter and the Holocaust…”Hitler’s an ass…I don’t buy a word of his crap”. “Germany is killing Jews, wtf are they thinking!”. Or how about the fall of man: Read more…

Netbooks for College Students
Netbooks have received a vast amount of criticism over the past year but one area that they excel in without debate is for use in the educational setting. Cheap, compact and powerful enough for student applications like word and the internet, netbooks seem tailored for college students.
While cheap generally is connotative with “sacrifice what you really need”, I find this not to be the case. I work weekends on a netbook from a hotel room and not once have I ever run into a situation that I felt a lack of memory, power or screen space. I even do web development on my Toshiba NB205, and find the 10″ screen just fine for seeing the big picture. Read more…

Sierra Club Helps Students Fight Against Coal on Campus
College students are in a very powerful place in their lives to make change on a grand scale. The 18 to twenty-somethings are grouped together, educated and generally open to looking at the world in a new light, as they are recently freed from the influence of their parents. We encourage the college students we work with to become involved in active in the educational process beyond the classroom, that is, what is going on socially with their peers. Social change can happen on a grand scale, beginning with the college campus. Take the example of protests going on all over campuses over the use of coal. From Penn State to Georgia State, students are protesting the use of coal-based fuel, some of which produces the majority of power on campus.
Coal was among the first fossil fuels to be collected for producing energy or power. It lost favor when oil and gas were found to burn more cleanly. However, coal has once again become useful for generating power or providing heat or electricity. New technologies have reduced the harmful emissions that result from burning coal. Students on the campuses that use coal are concerned that the harm to the environment isn’t worth the cost savings of using a non-renewable resource. Furthermore, students are upset over the message that colleges are sending. As institutions of higher learning, colleges should be ashamed of campuses that operate coal plants. Coal, just like wood and other fossil fuels, is a limited resource. The over-use of coal, with its inevitable carbon dioxide emissions, is attributed to increasing the greenhouse affect. Keep an eye on how well students are doing in kicking coal off college campuses.
Students can make a difference on a global scale. Get involved in social change issues on your college campus and you’ll meet people, learn about change in a changing world and do something productive with the power you have.

No Such Thing as Useless College Classes
The staff at Paper Masters hears it all the time – “I don’t need this class so I’m just doing this term paper to get me through it”. Aristotle would be appalled, and I agree, – there is no such thing as “not needing a class” and no class is useless, in and of itself. Aristotle once said, “The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet”. For Aristotle, knowledge and the ability to reason are the highest form of all happiness. It is true that no matter how useless and obscure a college class may seem or how completely irrelevant that a term paper topic may appear to you, something can be learned and valued from every course.
To prove that no course is truly useless, Paper Masters will be providing a six part series on some of the more obscure courses and their relevance in a student’s educational career. The focus will be how stupid term paper topics make brilliant students. The series will include the value of the course, how to write a good term paper for the course and a unique perspective on how the course can be applied to anyone’s life and educational goals.
Keep an eye on the blog tomorrow for the first of six entries on useless college courses!

Every term paper must include facts to back up your thesis statements. However, since you are not an expert at the topic you are writing a term paper on, you must tell your professor where you took your facts from. This is done with in-text citation. In order to keep consistency at all colleges, universities and academic institutions that write term papers, the Modern Language Association (MLA)developed MLA format standards.
MLA format for term papers requires students cite information with the author’s last name and the page number of the book that the information was taken from within the text. An example would be as follows in parentheses (Smith, 29). At the end of the document, a bibliography or Works Cited list is added, which contains all the books used within the text for citation. The following is an example of an MLA bibliographic citation:
Smith, John. How the West Was Won in a Day. New York: Norton Publishing, 2005.
With this, the professor knows exactly what book, the author, and the edition of the book that you took the information from. It also protects you from being accused of stealing other people’s work or making up facts. While many students get frustrated with MLA format, it is a necessary and helpful part of writing term papers.

What’s the big deal? Term paper, research paper, a paper is a paper right? Absolutely Wrong…and your professor’s know the difference so you should too! A term paper is very different from a research paper and needs to be approached with a broad goal in mind. On the other hand, a research paper is a narrow endeavor that requires a focused approached. A definition of each will help elucidate the differences clearly. Read more…
