What is a Paper?
At the college level, a paper or a thesis makes an assertion and presents evidence to prove it.
Picking the Perfect Topic
The perfect topic should not be too broad. Choosing a topic: Think, Organize, Prepare, Incorporate Ideas, Conclude.
Brevity: Less is Better
You have written your paper. But did you say too much with too many words? Be clear and convincing with less verbiage.
Paragraph Structure and Content
Structuring your paragraphs with appropriate and related content is critical to a well-written paper.
Thesis Statements
What is a thesis? What is a statement? What should thesis statements include? How should they fit . . .
Title-Cover & Bibliography
The pages that surround your paper are its periphery. Set up your title-cover and bibliography pages in Turabian style.
Grammar: Subject / Verb Agreement
What is the subject? What is the verb? Do they follow the subject/verb agreement rules?
Grammar: I or Me, Him or He
Pronouns can be tricky. Using them incorrectly could change the entire meaning of your sentence.
Plagiarism: What is it?
Taking credit for someone else's work is plagiarism. When in doubt: quote it, cite it, and acknowledge it.
