Each one of us has or will have to write a research paper. For some, writing a paper comes really naturally, but for people like me it\u2019s easy to get stuck looking for credible sources, organizing ideas, writing a thesis and fine tuning the finished product. Here is some useful advice to help you avoid getting stuck the next time you have to do a research paper. <\/span><\/p>\n

Budget your time <\/b>Before you begin writing you will need to do research. Plan to spend about 80 percent of your time doing research, and about 20 percent writing your paper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Credible sources <\/b>Start by visiting the San Jose City College online library database. Regardless of the topic you are researching this database is the best place to start. It has infinite research materials; from eBooks to current global news coverage and statistics. It also provides the proper source citation in MLA and APA formats. <\/span>http:\/\/www.sjcc.edu\/current-students\/library\/databases<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Note Card Technique <\/b>An essay is nothing more than a collection of note cards and when you get enough of these note cards together you have an essay. It\u2019s important to devote just one idea or quote to a card. <\/span><\/p>\n

Write down that one main idea or quote on the note card, chose a subtopic to label the card on the top left corner, then list the page number you found that idea or quote on the bottom right corner. Turn the card around and write the citation information. This will help you when it\u2019s time to do you the bibliography page.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sort your cards by topic into paragraphs. For example, if I was writing a research paper on the life and works of my favorite female author, Charlotte Perkins Gillman, I might have piles of cards for: \u00a0The Yellow Wallpaper versus Herland, Gilman\u2019s criticisms of society, Gilman\u2019s call to action, Gillman\u2019s illness and suicide. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thesis Generator <\/b>After you\u2019ve organized your cards by topic you\u2019ll need a thesis. It\u2019s always been a challenge for me to come up with a clear thesis. Luckily, many college websites offer a thesis generator free of charge. You can either search for one on Google or use the web address below; follow the site\u2019s instructions and you\u2019ll have your thesis. <\/span>http:\/\/corptrain.phoenix.edu\/thesis_generator\/thesis_generator.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now that you have your thesis and sorted note cards you are ready to start writing your outline and first draft.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Never procrastinate! <\/b>You should never wait for the last minute to start working on any assignment. There may be some people who can pull it off but I\u2019m not one of them. If I want an \u2018A\u2019 I need to give myself time. <\/span><\/p>\n
