I have been grading papers for a long time. In course after course, students repeat the same stupid mistakes. No more excuses, guys. I’ve written down what I wish every undergraduate knew about how to write a term paper. My tips are in two documents. One explains how to pick a good topic; the other lists mistakes to avoid. Enjoy.
Oh, and one final tip. Don’t plagiarize. It’s easier for me to detect than you might think.
