Term paper proposal
1.
2. Have to write a term paper?
The first thing you have to do is to write a
term paper proposal.
Even if your instructor doesn’t require a term
paper proposal, we recommend you to write
it. If you write a term paper proposal, you will
kill two birds with one stone.
3. 1. The first bird is that it will be easier to speak
with your instructor for you, if you show your
term paper proposal to him or her. As a result,
your instructor will have a forgiving attitude to
your probable lapses and mistakes in your term
paper.
2. The second bird is that it will be easier to
write a term paper for you, if you have a term
paper proposal. As a result, you will spend not
so a lot of time for writing a term paper.
Here you can see several steps of writing a
term paper proposal.
4. 1. The Step Number One. Choosing a Topic for
Your Term Paper.
You may choose one of the topics for your term paper
from the list of topics you have received from your
instructor. If you want to be original, you may
compose your own topic according to your interests.
You may also reformulate (for example, to narrow or
broaden) one of the given topics, if you have a strong
desire to do it and if you know exactly what you will
write about.
Don’t forget that in any case you have to consult with
your instructor about your term paper topic.
5. 2. The Step Number Two. Looking for Some
Literature concerned with Your Topic.
As soon as you have chosen the topic for your
term paper, look for some scientific literature
concerned with this topic. You don’t need to
find a lot of literature (as you on the stage of
writing a term paper proposal, but not a term
paper). Select only several books or articles
which are relevant to your theme.
6. 3. The Step Number Three. Looking through
the Literature You Have Found.
Now you have to run through these several
books or articles you have selected. Try to pick
out the main points of the texts you have
looked through. Don’t waste too much time
reading the literature (as you on the stage of
writing a term paper proposal, but not a term
paper).
Remember that you do it for the purpose of
creating your own ideas on the base of the
sources you have looked through.
7. 4. The Step Number Four.
Brainstorming Your Own Ideas.
Now you are ready to brainstorm your own
ideas. Don’t say that you have nothing to
create.
If you are sure that you have nothing to
create, go back to the previous step.
8. 5. The Step Number Five. Reformulating
Your Topic.
After that, you are able to reformulate your
topic. We recommend you to narrow the topic
to make your term paper more original. If you
create your own topic which has not been a
subject area of a special investigation, it will be
more interesting to write for you and more
amusing to read for your instructor.
9. 6. The Step Number Six. Writing a Term Paper
Proposal.
Now you can write your term paper proposal.
Think about the following items: the relevance of
the topic, the objectives of the research, the
necessary tasks, the subject area, the specific
topic, the hypothesis, the research methodology,
advances in research, the practical value and a
short description of the basic structure of the
paper.
10. P.S. After having written your term
paper proposal, you are ready to
visit your instructor again.
