How to write a paper quickly

Week ago, tomorrow seemed a long way off, but the : the four- or six- or eight-page paper must be turned in. You're in trouble, but of course, it's not your is hard and least that's what your professor will say when you paper back marked with a letter from the nether regions of it doesn't have to be that way. In fact, the have one common technique: use a lot of are five easy ways to write a good paper, at the , with limited knowledge of the subject matter. Don't try "what the teacher wants," and don't be afraid to take a in mind that a paper is written to defend a there weren't multiple viewpoints, there would be no need for. Don't start something you can't finish, and make sure in your first paragraph that one simple sentence explaining of your paper. For one, they fill up space and can inflate -page paper by almost half a page. We try to mimic the rhythms of scholarly rhetoric,And end up sounding example: therefore, the aqueducts of the romans made of lead, the water supply for the city may well have inated and caused many to go mad from lead sentence fluffs up the paper, but is dull and many words. That's the best way to to what you know, fill up the pages, and still write mately good plagiarize, but don't be afraid to use other people'nts to support your own. The to do is plan to write your paper in three first is your opening paragraph. End with your thesis statement, but start ore, the invention of the aqueduct caused the fall that you've gone through all four steps of writing a -minute paper, don't let stupid mistakes drop your ead. The professor wants to know that you you're talking ng four-inch margins and overlooking obvious es will indicate the paper was a rush job, and may ion. Even if there are only the tiniest holes in your argument,The teacher may go back and try to find you give yourself about five hours to go through , you should come away with a pretty decent paper. Obviously, the you have, the better your if you awake and find you have only one-half hour and finish a paper or miss the deadline, there is ing you can wasn't built in a day, but it takes a few hours students put a lot of effort into not doing their the end of the year approaches and final assignments mount,They'll find they have to try a lot harder to not get the work done.

Another way to write fast, well-constructed & college (otips)submitted 4 years ago by dan81989in college i had a professor that changed the way i wrote papers forever. After his class i became an english major and loved writing gave a formula to our class: if you had an eight page paper to write, that means you need to write roughly 16 paragraphs. Write down 14 ideas that support your thesis, rearrange them to make sure there is a natural thought progression, and before you know it you had an 8-page well-structured essay. As a humanities grad student i usually have to write two or three 20-page papers at a es are annoying, but it'll cut the time it take you to write a paper in half. It lets you see how your ideas fit together, so you can move them around and organize them without having to re-write entire paragraphs or pages. If you write without outlines you probably find that you often get stuck on a certain point and can't move forward. The outline will let you progressively flesh out the whole paper without hitting a writer's block.

How to write a research paper in an hour

If you can't think of any "because"s for a certain idea, it should not be in your paper. Once you have an outline, all you should need to do is fill it in with transition and topic intro and conclusion paragraphs should be last things you write. In the course of writing a paper you will almost definitely reach conclusions or think of new ideas that didn't occur to you when you set out. Your introduction should be written like you're trying to explain the paper to a friend who doesn't know anything about the topic. Your conclusion should be written like you're trying to explain to your professor why your paper is sentences: it should be possible to read only the first and last sentences of each paragraph and still understand what your paper is saying. 90% of what you've copied out won't make it into your paper (i sometimes wind up with 30 pages of notes for a 15 page paper), but you will be able to easily copy-paste quotes into your paper, and remember how they fit into the original article, so you don't risk inkembedsavegive gold[–]grimgrimgriim 74 points75 points76 points 4 years ago (25 children)in addition to this, my old professor taught us this formula when writing an outline:For each paragraph, fill in:P: point/topic of paragraph.

The best part is, not only does it apply to the paper, but to each body paragraph as well. When i heard it in the beginning of high school it was like a light went on, and suddenly i became a paper-writing fiend.

Know you're simplifying things for this post, but i want to point out that a lot of those paragraphs should be ideas that complicate your thesis, not that simply support example, if your thesis is that so-and-so is a christ figure in the text (boring but common example), each paragraph should not just be a cherry-picked piece of evidence tying him/her to characteristics possessed by christ figures; the paper should also show the extent to which the character is a christ figure, as well as the implications of that assertion.

That gave me 4, so i know i have to write 4 body paragraphs of aprox 225 words each. Then i jot down a main point for each of those 4 paragraphs, and i also write down how many words i should be at when completing each one - 150 words by the end of my intro paragraph, 375 words by the end of my first body paragraph, 600 words by the end of my second body paragraph, etc etc, down to 1200 words at the end of my final concluding paragraph. All this emphasis i've seen in the comments and in the other major paper writing post on being "verbose" and making it long is terrible advice. If you can say something in 10 words or 5 words always go with the shorter choice it makes your paper clearer, easier to read and frees up room for you to go more in depth in your analysis. Before i start an essay, after all the planning stages, i write half a page on ms word. If the whole document is just your essay, you feel like you're trying to write a final draft from the start. Putting my name on the paper doesn't help, because then all i see is the emptyness of the page, and myself in it. Then it leads to me comparing it to the emptyness of life and what "it all means" and paper does not get written because i'm having an existentialist crisis purely to procrastinate.

I actually learned more doing research on the paper than from group papers a poor approach is to assign a section to each member of the group, copy paste and submit. A better approach is to go through the paper together as a group after copy pasting each individual section. Sometimes an over-smart member will write the entire paper in their section itself, then try to get extra points for themselves are all the basics but you would be surprised as to how often they are ally in state schools, ta's are overworked, its best to put effort in each assignment that is related to paper writing, just a general observation. Its best not to whine and demand a higher grade from the ta/prof on a paper without evidence to back it up.

Do an outline, then start the actual paper with the intro, then 2 body paragraghs using your outline notes, then 1 body paragraph to show the counter argument and it's flaws, and then write your conclusion based on your paper.

For example, you can only write about women’s work, and you must stick with a job american women held in the torm a list of possible topics for your research paper. Your list of possible topics for a paper on 19th century women’s labor might look like this:Do a quick google search on each of your topics. Odds are good that you’ll be able to find at least part of the book (or a book review) online, so this will help you the topic of your research paper. Pick a topic that returned a lot of credible hits on google, and, if possible, also interests ’s imagine that you chose midwives as the topic of your paper on 19th century women’s labor. It’s a good idea to write a simple outline before you get too far into your research. You may want to include some questions that you have about your topic in your preliminary will probably want one subtopic for roughly every 2-3 for a 10 page paper, try to think of at least 3-4 subtopics. If you’re not writing your whole paper in the library, it’s probably best to save a trip there until you have finished doing online research so that you can get everything you need all at example, a book with a title like, american midwifery before and after the civil war may be worth the effort to track the other hand, a book called, life in the 18th century, which appears to include just a few paragraphs on midwifery, may not be worth your google scholar for your subtopic. A quick skim shows you that there may be some information here that helps you write about american midwives, but it’s hard to tell how much of the information will be useful at this point. Narrow your focus to the topics that you have lots of information any of your subtopics did not turn up enough relevant results for you to write a few pages about them, cross them off your s you didn’t find much about how midwives were paid. Add an appropriate subtopic (such as “conflicts with doctors”) to your g a research paper drafting. Absorb the information, and then write about it in your own ’t edit much as you go. If you come to a place where you don’t know how to express your thought, just make a note about what you’re trying to express, highlight it so that you remember to return to it, and move ’t write your introduction first. Your introduction will need to sum up your major points, so you should not write it until you’ve written the bulk of your as you go. Check your research paper instructions to determine how your instructor wants you to cite your time you use information from a particular source, cite it. Be very careful not to plagiarize in your probably don’t want to write out a full citation as you’re creating your first draft. Write about any remaining subtopics on your outline, being sure to cite as you an eye on the page limit. You don’t want to write the bare minimum, because you’ll look like a slacker. Now that your ideas are all down on paper, summarize your arguments and major points in the intro and a strong thesis statement stating your major point or argument.

Be sure that this sentence is the last sentence in your example, perhaps the major point of your paper on midwives is “nineteenth century american midwives, most of whom were middle-aged, working class women, struggled to practice their trade in the face of economic hardships, increasing legal restrictions, and competition from licensed male physicians. Check for spelling and grammar errors and you have access to a printer, it’s a good idea to look at a hard copy at this your paper! This will help identify commonly overlooked grammatical mistakes and will make sure that the paper reads you get stuck, try bypassing that one problematic segment and visit the section later once your thoughts start flowing ’t forget to eat and drink as you er to credit your sources.

While getting a good grade does depend on your ability as a writer to an extent, you can still do well on your last minute essay. Pace yourself first- chart out a decent amount of time in which you think you can write this paper. If you’re a slow, hesitant writer, an hour per page is the maximum i would ever suggest. In all likelihood, you can probably write a fairly decent ten to twelve page paper out in about five hours. Let’s say you’ve allotted two hours to write a six to eight page essay. Spend a half hour researching your topic, a solid hour explaining what you’ve learned in paper format, and then spend the last half hour editing and compiling a bibliography. Thesis and introductory thesis is the framework of the entire paper, and a good thesis automatically lends a more academic, positive outlook to the rest of your essay. Your thesis should very briefly outline the points you will make in the paper to support your claim. 2: analysis- quickly analyze why you think sentence one is ce 3: fact- back up sentence two and lend support to sentence one through the use of a relevant fact. Make sure you cite your source ce 4: more ce 5: quote- quotes from credible sources can be powerful, but should be used sparingly, otherwise your own words will be drowned out and the paper will be little more than cut and paste plagiarism. Leave your reader with a sentence that makes them think about the topic for a moment after they’ve finished the paper- a question or a thought-provoking sentence, for you’re having trouble with your paper and feeling stuck, go for a quick five minute run. Writing a paper is a formula with specific components that you just need to plug data into, and can easily be simplified beyond what many stressed college students may think. You will not get the grade you probably could have gotten if you’d started well in advance, but you won’t flunk the assignment either and you can alleviate some of the dread that accompanies writing a paper last minute.

But, life happens, so this is great ia kearney 5 years ago from united statesi think you offer some very solid advice on writing a good paper in a reasonable amount of time. Spacey 5 years ago from near huddersfield, west yorkshire,ukthere are some interesting insights into the construction of a paper - nicely elucidated. I've never minded writing papers, since i'm lucky enough for words to come easily to me, but i cannot even imagine what it would be like if i was not a writer and i hated writing papers. I am personally happy that i haven't any more papers to write - been there, done that, having been through university and even law school.
