<p>Hey, guys,</p>
<p>I am a sophomore in college, yet I'll admit it: I struggle with writing good, legitimate papers in college with good theses. It's worse when there is no topic on which I need to write. I have a giant of a paper on the "Republic" due soon, and I have NO idea what my thesis will be. It's no fun thinking of something important to say when I don't even understand the book!</p>
<p>Links, anything, would be helpful.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>To write a well written paper in college let me give you these tips:</p>
<p>Give yourself time to go through multiple drafts (as in at least 3-4 drafts)</p>
<p>Talk to your professor throughout the writing process to make sure you are going through the right direction.</p>
<p>If available, utilize a writing center where you can go over your paper with a graduate student</p>
<p>Have someone else read your paper</p>
<p>Read your paper out loud to yourself</p>
<p>Finally, something I like to do is go over the paper with a marker and cross out any unnecessary words I use (I tend to be rather wordy), and this will make your paper more succinct.</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>But most importantly, talk to your professor ASAP, before it is too late.</p>
<p>those are really good points. Another thing that helps is to have someone else read it to you.</p>
<p>I'll just reiterate the point that you should be speaking with your professor throughout the process. I'm a sophmore, and I just figured this out as well (unfortunately, only in time for my last writing class). Anyways, it has helped me immensely..he/she will be your best tool.</p>
