Term papers require an established outline in
order to present properly the topic. The post
reviews the main elements of term papers and
gives information about how they should be
composed and what details should be revealed in
them.
3
INTRODUCTION

• In the first part of term paper the writer is
  supposed to state the main point of the work.
• Describe the thesis statement, problem or
  question that will be discussed further.

• The main goal here is to present the readers with
  the purpose of the work and make them understand
  why the work is important.

4
INTRODUCTION

• One of great techniques of writing an
  introduction states that the writer should start
  with Ws.
• This means What, Where, When and Why.

• These elements are intended to make the
  introduction writing more easy and understandable
  to the readers.

5
LITERATURE REVIEW

• In the next segment of any term paper the writer
  sums up his or her findings by referring to
  relevant literature.
• This literature can be books, scientific
  journals, internet sites or databases.

• The key here is to show that there is literature
  that is connected to the research and the
  findings can be used to write your own paper.

6
THE BODY

• This is where term paper develops the analysis.
• The writer presents his or her argument and tries
  to show that the point of view is correct based
  on the literature reviewed above.

• The evidence identified by the writer is
  important to the research and must have
  corresponding quality to it because otherwise it
  cannot be considered as reliable source of
  information.

7
THE BODY

• The first three Ws mentioned above are
  explored extensively and in the end they are made
  to connect with the Why.

8
CONCLUSION

• In the closing part of the text term paper should
  summarize all finding presented before and the
  thesis statement should be restated.

• This way, the writer reminds the readers about
  the purpose of the work, and connects all
  elements altogether.

9
REFERENCES

• There are special styles which require specific
  citing of the works that the writer has used in
  the work.

• The list of literature that was used should be
  alphabetically ordered and include the details
  about each source.

10
REFERENCES

• The details may include the authors name, the
  title of the source, the date when the source was
  accessed and many more.

• For example, if the writer has used an article
  form an internet site, he or she should include
  the title of the website, the date when the
  article was viewed for the purposes of the
  research.

11
REFERENCES

• In case if the book was used, the References page
  should include the author, year of publication,
  the publisher, editors (optional).

Remember to write an outline for your term
papers.
This can make the process of writing much easier
and provide with the direction of the research,
so you wont be lost on what to write about next.
An outline can be as important as the paper
itself, so learn these elements and get good
grades.
