Writing A College Paper, The Proper Methodologies

[Guest guest]

Writing A College Paper, The Proper Methodologies Whether or not accommodations are made for proper schooling I would like to learn the proper methodologies for writing a paper. Finally some challenging materials have come in, I have a oxford textbook about clinical studies in Child & adolescent psychological disorders. So what it is I propose doing is writing a

detailed paper on each chapter independently and speaking with others who have been in college to do it properly. Learning the methodologies expected in college let alone aspects of high school I didn’t get to partake in is best. Would anyone want to assist in this? Such as if I was to write a paper on the first chapter, to read the paper and previously provide guidance as to how to properly structure the paper? I'm from this planet, the rest of you are not.Please go back to Mars or Venushttp://www.simplecomplexities.org/community/

I know there are quite a few rules on such as you ask, but perhaps

they differ from country to country? It has also been some time since

I attended college, maybe someone has attended more recently or is

still attending?

I know that plagarism is a big no no - obviously. Just copying out

great chunks from a book is not good either. I think there are limits

to qoutes and only used to back up one's own theory/point, sort of

thing.

From what I remember at the beginning of a paper you set out your

intentions/theory, a proposal i.e 'I propose to prove such and such

by (state means of how you are going to go about it)', or 'It is my

belief that such and such is a fallacy and I propose to put forward

arguements to back this up by (state means)'. The opening statement

is breif and just puts forward what you intend to do and how - like

for example by looking at so and so's work and comparing it to others

(state whose), whatever.

My wording may be a bit rusty perhaps - it has been a long time, but

I could dig up some old college essays and have a look or send one to

you? Maybe this above is not what you meant though?

Anyways at the end of paper - you draw conclusions - whether you felt

you have achieved what you set out to. Whether there may be questions

still left - like for example 'It is my opinion given the evidence

that such and such was but one cannot prove that conclusively that

this was the case and therefore we can only speculate that this is

likely given the current evidence'. Like I said my wording may be a

bit rusty and I will have to check old essays if you are interested.

Also at the end you list all the sources that you looked into, even

if you just skimmed them - they were part of your research material.

Also make sure to list all sources of qoutes.

Maybe I am ahead of myself here, perhaps you are just wanting to

summarise each chapter?

Also per paper it is best to stick to one (or maybe two?) narrowed

points - they can easily open up. To focus on too large an area

becomes very quickly out of hand, one is best to focus in one small

area at a time, which can be opened up somewhat and also lead onto

other papers like a series of.

Hope this has been of some help.

Please check other sources too though - like I said it has been a

long time since I have been at college and I am in a different

country - things may be different now and also differ from country to

country.

However I am hoping to return to college in September :-)

" Such places and situations are not easily agreeable. "

I find that too and as quickly as I can I seek out the more quiet

areas where I can be alone, failing that I block people out with

music through earphones.

I have problems with travelling to so getting to college is going to

be difficult for me, but I suppose I have to look at the goal and

having to travel is just part of the process of attaining what I want

to acheive.
