HACKS TO EXCEL IN TERM PAPER WRITING
TERM PAPER  A Term paper usually entails a research assignment that covering most of the material given over an academic
term, a semester or an academic year. It is used by examiners and instructors to estimate how well a student has understood, researched, and incorporated the provided material and activities associated with the course.  Usually a scientific report or a discussion of an assigned topic, a term paper requires a lot of research and
technical writing expertise. This academic writing assignment must be well-written, analytical, organized, and wellresearched—as this reflects your knowledge of a particular course.
STRUCTURE FOR A TERM PAPER Title page Table of contents Abstract Introduction Main body Conclusion
TERM PAPER TOPICS Instructors usually provide topics related to your course. However, sometimes you are free
to choose your topic. Try surfing the web, reading articles, news, magazines, and blogs to get ideas for your term paper. The following should be considered when choosing a topic: Length: Consider the length of the required assignment. Will it be ten pages long or five
pages short? How many words are required? Considering the size will help you choose a specific topic because to decide how broad or narrow your subject will be. Resources: Check out your school or community library for any available resources. You
can also look for any available online resources. Complexity: Make sure that you will be able to explain your topic—no matter how
complex it may be. If you have questions, don’t be afraid to ask experts.
TITLE PAGE This is the draft title of what you want to research. Make it clear and understandable. Align the text that contains your name, course number, your teacher’s name, and the date
of the deadline in the center of the page.
ABSTRACT Provide a succinct single-paragraph summary of your paper’s purpose, main points,
findings, and conclusions; list the keywords. Usually less than a page long, the abstract describes your work. It lets readers know where
the term paper is headed, the issue at hand, and why the subject was interesting or important enough that you decided to write about it.
INTRODUCTION The introduction should begin with a statement of the subject to be discussed. Explain the
significance of the topic or problem at hand and write about how you plan to discuss or resolve the issue Give background information on the topic Describe your approach and explain the choice of your topic Articulate your research question and hypothesis
MAIN BODY The body of your text should contain the main points in your research. Provide information
about the topic so that the reader can further understand what is being discussed. Don’t forget certain positions about to the issue and the analysis of the research you have done. Divide the main body into individual sections and subsections to facilitate comprehension Make sure each chapter has a title that is indicated in the table of contents Summarize your findings at the end of each section Explicitly indicate the relationships between the individual parts of your paper by using
transitions and road mapping to show the reader where they are
CONCLUSION Explain why your research has led you to believe certain things about your subject. How
has your view changed from when you began the project? Has it stayed the same, and why? Tie everything you’ve been explaining into what you had stated in your introduction. Try to put the paper within a broader framework (literary, cultural, historical, or even
theoretical)
DOS Assemble a large amount of relevant material; it is better to have a range of materials to choose from than work
with limited data
Analyze both primary and secondary sources to get a stable view of your research problem
Write clear and sensible notes in precise language while studying the materials: this approach will enable easy
drafting at the later stage Cite any information borrowed from external sources Understand what material you are expected to cover
DON’TS  Compose an argumentative essay instead of a term paper, which should be mainly based on research and the
ground covered over a long period of study ď‚Ą Change arguments as the paper develop. A stance or opinion should be maintained throughout the entire article
and illustrated with the materials used during the term.
