Cursing yourself for not completing\nthe research paper before? Or are you just straight-up lost and crying over the\ntime you decided to sign up for study courses? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s my advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take a deep breath and try to relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s ok. It happens to the most of\nus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My next advice is to continue\nreading this blog. I will help you get done with that research paper in no\ntime. Below are some of the proven tips which I learned in my academic years to\nwrite my papers quickly. And yes, my professors graded me well too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Understand your topic and choose it wisely<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes you are assigned with the\ntopic. Other times, you are given the choice to choose it yourself. In that\ncase, you should pick a topic which you know you can write on. Otherwise, you\nwill find research very challenging. For example, don\u2019t like finance? Run from\nchoosing topics related to it as fast as you can. Also, just don\u2019t select a\ntopic because you like how it sounds. Even if you are assigned one, run a quick\ngoogle search. Read at least a page on it, so you know what you are signing up\nfor. The topic should have some research available on it already as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Create a generic outline<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n An outline or simply a research\nstatement acts as a checklist for you to stay relevant in your research and\nwriting. It will also save your time. Yes, I understand how intimidating it is.\nBack in high school, it was mandatory for us to submit our essays with\nbrainstorming. I believed in reverse engineering and the fact that ideas come\nas you write. Therefore, I used to first write the paper and then the outline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While this may work for a 500-word\nessay, my strategy crushed when I had to write a 5000-word research paper.\nThus, before you dive in writing, make an outline of your main idea,\nsubheadings and the points you may cover. If you don\u2019t know what to include, still\nmake one. You can improve it as you do your research. This brings us to the\nnext tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Research well, duh<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Research? Why will you tell me that? I know it already.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n No, hon. I am not telling you to\nresearch but to research well. And both of the things are different. Even while\nwriting short blogs, most of the time I got distracted from my topic by doing\ninappropriate research. My topic might be \u201cWriting the Perfect Resume\u201d and\ninstead I might end up writing on \u201cWhat is a CV?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n This mostly happens when you have\nample of research resources available on the topic. You try including\neverything you like from these resources. Then, before you know it, you lose\ntrack. When you should be talking about cookies, you find yourself talking\nabout flour. Therefore, optimize your research by referring back to your\noutline and knowing exactly what you have to research. You might also set a\ntime limit for researching a certain heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
