Tips For Writing A Research Term Paper

Posted on by

Here are lists some of the stages involved in writing a research paper.
Although this list suggests that there is a simple, linear process to writing such a paper, the actual process of writing a research paper is often a messy and recursive one, so please use this outline as a flexible guide.

  1. Discovering, Narrowing, and Focusing a Researchable Topic
  2. Finding, Selecting, and Reading Sources
  3. Grouping, Sequencing, and Documenting Information
  4. Writing an Outline and a Prospectus for Yourself
  5. Writing the Introduction
  6. Writing the Body
  7. Writing the Conclusion
  8. Revising the Final Draft

Discovering, Narrowing, and Focusing a Researchable Topic:

  • Try to find a topic that truly interests you
  • Try writing your way to a topic
  • Talk with your course instructor and classmates about your topic
  • Pose your topic as a question to be answered or a problem to be solved

 

Finding, Selecting, and Reading Sources
You will need to look at the following types of sources:

  • library catalog, periodical indexes, bibliographies, suggestions from your instructor
  • primary vs. secondary sources
  • journals, books, other documents

 

Grouping, Sequencing, and Documenting Information
The following systems will help keep you organized:

  • a system for noting sources on bibliography cards
  • a system for organizing material according to its relative importance
  • a system for taking notes

 

Writing an Outline and a Prospectus for Yourself
Consider the following questions:

  • What is the topic?
  • Why is it significant?
  • What background material is relevant?
  • What is my thesis or purpose statement?
  • What organizational plan will best support my purpose?

 

Writing the Introduction
In the introduction you will need to do the following things:

  • present relevant background or contextual material
  • define terms or concepts when necessary
  • explain the focus of the paper and your specific purpose
  • reveal your plan of organization

 

Writing the Body

  • Use your outline and prospectus as flexible guides
  • Build your essay around points you want to make (i.e., don’t let your sources organize your paper)
  • Integrate your sources into your discussion
  • Summarize, analyze, explain, and evaluate published work rather than merely reporting it
  • Move up and down the “ladder of abstraction” from generalization to varying levels of detail back to generalization

 

Writing the Conclusion

  • If the argument or point of your paper is complex, you may need to summarize the argument for your reader.
  • If prior to your conclusion you have not yet explained the significance of your findings or if you are proceeding inductively, use the end of your paper to add your points up, to explain their significance.
  • Move from a detailed to a general level of consideration that returns the topic to the context provided by the introduction.
  • Perhaps suggest what about this topic needs further research.

 

Revising the Final Draft

  • Check overall organization: logical flow of introduction, coherence and depth of discussion in body, effectiveness of conclusion.
  • Paragraph level concerns: topic sentences, sequence of ideas within paragraphs, use of details to support generalizations, summary sentences where necessary, use of transitions within and between paragraphs.
  • Sentence level concerns: sentence structure, word choices, punctuation, spelling.
  • Documentation: consistent use of one system, citation of all material not considered common knowledge, appropriate use of endnotes or footnotes, accuracy of list of works cited.

Steps to Writing a Research Paper

Posted on by

Writing a research paper can be a challenge. Not only do you have to come up with shockingly clever ideas, you also have to figure out what the so-called experts think, and learn to format your paper correctly. When you finish, you’ll be surprised at what you’ve learned. But, start early; it may take more time than you realize.
STEPS:

  • Decide on a topic. If it hasn’t been assigned to you, try to think of something original. Choosing something that actually interests you will make the process a lot less painful. Also, make sure that you will be able to find books and articles about your topic.
  • Find all of the information that you can about your topic. Check the book and article database at the library, search the internet, and check out encyclopedias and other reference books.
  • Skim through your materials to find the good stuff. Unless you have a few years to kill, you’re not going to want to read everything. Instead, put a bookmark on all the important pages and write down any quotes you want to use in your paper.
  • Write your thesis statement. This is one sentence that gives the main point of the entire paper. Make sure that it says something meaningful about the topic that can be proven.
  • Write your paper. Every paragraph should prove your thesis statement. Now is the time to use that time-consuming research. Put quotes in whenever they prove your point and make sure to cite your sources.
  • Format and proofread your essay. Check with your teacher to find out what format your paper should be in (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.) and consult a guide to learn the specifics of that format. Be sure that you have all required elements including a works cited page, bibliography, or footnotes. Before turning it in, check that paper over at least three times.

TIPS:

  • Stick to the topic of your paper.
  • Reading your paper out loud or having a friend check it can help you find easy to miss mistakes.

WARNINGS:

  • Watch out for poor quality references. Most teachers frown upon quotes from thrown-together personal websites (complete with corny music and mouse trailers) used as scholarly references.
  • Don’t plagiarize. Failing to cite their sources or purposefully using someone else’s material has gotten many a student kicked out of school.

New Agricultural Science Project Work: Rainfall Analysis For Food Production In The Sudan Region Of Nigeria

Posted on by

This is a new project topic with the full material in Agricultural Science. It’s on analysis of rainfall for food production in the Sudan region of Nigeria.

Abstract

Recurrent drought and decrease agricultural productivity during the last decades in West Africa, especially in the Sahelian zone, points to the need for a clearer understanding of the Onset dates, Cessation dates, Length of growing season, dry spell lengths and their consistencies, which pose major threats to the agricultural sector.
Daily rainfall data for ten (10) years were analyzed for eight (8) meteorological stations in the Sudan Savanna region of Nigeria, with the application of INSTAT software package obtained from the UK Met office. The onset dates were gotten based on the four (4) onset definitions as defined by the package. Onset dates was also determined based on Omotosho’s definition (2000). The deviations of the four (4) onset definitions from Omotosho’s definition were gotten, so as to know the reliability of these definitions.
The cessation of rain was also determined using the water balance sheet. The first day when the water balance sheet drops to zero, after first of October was taken as the cessation. The length of the growing season was also determined, this shows a decrease northward. Also obtained was the overall chance of rain based on the Markov chain (fitted) model. Result shows two peaks for some stations, and just a single for some.
Also determined, was the probability of having a 7 and 11 days dry spell following 30 days after planting. This shows that the risk of having 11 days dry spell is very low after 30 days from planting. The risk for 7 days spell also decreased, but not as rapid as that of 11 days.

How To Write A Good Abstract For Your Project Work

Posted on by
Reply

Writing an abstract in an important phase in the research process; hence in-order to make good grades with your research project and impress your readers, one must be familiar with the techniques of writing a good, concise and standard abstract.
Before I discourse on how to write a good abstract, let’s talk a bit about an abstract. What is it? An abstract in simple terms is a summary of a research project, thesis. Dissertation, research journal etc. abstracts are usually seen at the beginning of research paper.
In-order to write good and standard abstract, students must first know how abstracts should be structured and things to avoid when writing one. This article torches on all of these.

STRUCTURE OF A STANDARD ABSTRACT
Most well written abstracts by outstanding researchers all over the world are structured as follows:

  1. Overview of the study/Background
  2. Methods
  3. Results or Findings
  4. Recommendations and Conclusion
  5. Now let us discourse these sections one after the other.

OVERVIEW OF THE STUDY
This is usually the first part of an abstract. It depicts the central focus of the study. When writing an abstract, students should know the central idea behind their study. This section is very important as it tells readers whether to continue reading or not. In essence when giving an overview of your study, you should make it concise and interesting enough to encourage readers to read your whole work. Students must ensure readers easily get a clue of what the research objectives are as well as problems motivating the researcher to pick up interest in the study.

METHODOLOGY
Methodology employed by the researcher constitutes the second part of an abstract. With a semi-paragraph or a sentence, state your research methods. This is where you briefly let readers know your data collection methods, research instruments employed, sample size and so on. To some extent depending on your institution’s research project format, you can state how the research instruments were validated and distributed (i.e. was it face-to-face distribution? or through email?).

RESULTS
The third section of an abstract is a brief summary of your key findings or results. Findings or important results recorded in the study must be briefly stated in the abstract.

RECOMMENDATIONS/CONCLUSION
The last section of most abstracts tells readers recommendations or suggestions made by the researcher. This section is the most important section in an abstract as it brings out the essence of research which is solving identified problems, developing better ways of doing things and adding to the body of knowledge.

THINGS TO AVOID WHEN WRITING AN ABSTRACT
In-order to present a good abstract for academic award(s), the following should be observed by the researcher:

Avoid Ambiguous Words and Complex Grammar
Remember an abstract is like a tip of the iceberg. Complex and ambiguous words/sentences may discourage readers from reading the full content of your research. Using keywords at the end of an abstract may help in letting your readers know the central theme or idea of the study.

Do not Loose Focus
When writing an abstract, just go straight to the point. Do not beat around the bush. Definition of terms, long stories that are not interesting may make your abstract too lengthy and boring…..leave all definitions and stories for your introduction.

Avoid Lengthy Abstracts
Abstracts are meant to be brief and concise. Avoid writing numerous pages and calling it ‘Abstract’. An ideal abstract should be on a single page. However, if you wish to write more, seek the advice of your supervisor first.

Avoid Writing Abstracts When you have not completed your Study
This particular point one is of great interest to me. I see students writing abstracts before completing their research studies, and it gets me wondering a lot. How did they get findings and recommendations before data analysis and interpretation? Or is there any such thing as pre and post abstracts? An abstract is meant to be a summary of your entire work; hence it should be after you have conducted your study.

How to Build Your Career Network While in School

Many career counsellors and experts believe networking is the single most effective method of increasing your potential for a fast career growth.

Networking isn’t restricted to meeting strangers; it’s also strongly inclusive of engaging with the people you already know and learning what you can from them. It is focused on having a purpose for your interaction with others regarding career growth issues.

If you want to network your way to a great career here are some salient points you should note;

1. Networking Doesn’t Mean Meeting People and Asking Them for a Job

If you ever think networking means telling everybody you meet that you need a job you’ll definitely piss off so many people. It is rather an ongoing process of relationship building that may open up job opportunities for you. To make networking work for you you first have to be of value to the person you are meeting. An influential contact you have will not hesitate to recommend you for a job if she is convinced that you possess the right qualities.

2. Attend the Right Events, Workshops and Conferences

While you may do some useful networking online nothing beats the old tested way of building relationships with others via face to face interactions. Where possible try to attend industry events where you are likely to meet people who will encourage you, build you up and give you access to useful career information.

3. Reach out to new contacts to introduce yourself and ask them if they have time to talk with you about their career path

4. Ask for advice. Don’t ask for a job. They will know you are looking and if they can and want to help in this way, they will.

5. Ask if they know anyone else you can contact

6. Follow up. Follow their advice. Send a thank you letter. Keep in touch
