College Research Paper Writing

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…
