How to Write a Better Paper<\/p>\n
A. Prepare Your Assignment in Advance \u00a0 <\/p>\n
In order to write a high-quality paper, be sure to take the time to write: \u00a0 <\/p>\n
An outline of your major points that distills a logical flow of information.<\/p>\n
A rough draft of your paper that you can reread and have another person read for you. A second reader always helps, no matter what your level of writing expertise is. <\/p>\n
A final draft that you can carefully spell check and review for grammar, content and style. If you allow time between the first and final draft, you will think of new content and deeper understanding that will improve the quality of your work. \u00a0 <\/p>\n
B. Follow the Triple A\u2019s \u2013 AAA = Absorption, Analysis, Application \u00a0 <\/p>\n
Include proof of the following, placing emphasis on Analysis and Application: <\/p>\n
Absorption: quickly summarize the data you have reviewed for the assignment, avoid lengthy repetition. Assume I am already familiar with the material and simply show me that you are as well. Demonstrate mastery of the material by referring to the main points in reading and in class notes.<\/p>\n
Analysis: explain the effect the material has on your existing views of business, the meaning of current business concepts and how they might change as a result, and what resonance there is on your other courses. Feel free to use concepts from your other classes here and create connections between them. <\/p>\n
Application: take this new knowledge and use it as a frame of reference to interpret part of your world. For example, demonstrate how it might change your personal business plans and\/or business practices. <\/p>\n
Following\u00a0are some questions that may inspire you to create original content: <\/p>\n
Do you have a viewpoint upon which most people would disagree? <\/p>\n
What is one main idea you can focus upon to explain this subject?<\/p>\n
How can you assert your conclusions about this subject? Here is a good place to use the rule of 3 (elucidate your thoughts into 3 clear points). <\/p>\n
Brainstorm about your interests on the assignment and some of your ideas on the class discussions and readings. <\/p>\n
Reflect on how you see this content as an Entrepreneur. <\/p>\n
What is your unique point of view? <\/p>\n
What have you learned? <\/p>\n
C. General Flow of your paper: Have a Point of View and Prove it<\/p>\n
Begin with an overview of the existing information on the subject \u2013 cite quotes from class, the reading, and your independent research. Demonstrate your familiarity with the existing body of knowledge, showing that you are an informed voice on the subject. Your paper should be focused, organized and well-researched to be successful. <\/p>\n
Format for all writing assignments: <\/p>\n
All papers must be titled to identify the assignment <\/p>\n
File format: Microsoft Word or PDF<\/p>\n
Include a page header with your name, date and assignment, and a page footer with page number<\/p>\n
Margins: 1\u201d <\/p>\n
Type face: Arial 11pt or similar<\/p>\n
Double-spaced<\/p>\n
Document outline (not required): <\/p>\n
Include a ~one page outline at the start of the paper to demonstrate the organizational structure of your paper<\/p>\n
The outline page does not count toward the length of your paper and is not required<\/p>\n
Pictures and Graphics (not required):<\/p>\n
Pictures and graphics should only be presented in an Appendix and do not count towards the length of your paper <\/p>\n
Bibliography (not required): <\/p>\n
Include inline citations in MLA (or similar) style and attach a bibliography page <\/p>\n
Alphabetize your bibliographic entries <\/p>\n
The bibliography page does not count toward the length of your paper and is not required<\/p>\n
Some pointers: \u00a0 <\/p>\n
Consider your paper as part of your business-writing portfolio and be sure that your work is high enough quality to include as a writing sample with a job application. <\/p>\n
Do basic research on the speaker before the lecture sessions. You will be better prepared to understand the speaker\u2019s point of view, ask compelling questions, and have a head start on your independent research for the final paper. <\/p>\n
Make sure to begin each paragraph with a topic sentence to introduce the evidence to be examined within the paragraph <\/p>\n
Vary your language; in other words, don\u2019t begin each sentence in the same fashion and make sure to utilize varying sentence lengths <\/p>\n
Pose questions and answer them <\/p>\n
Write in the active voice (present tense, first person) <\/p>\n
Eliminate unnecessary words-they dilute the impact of your writing <\/p>\n
Incorporate quotes into your own words (always cite them even if you are paraphrasing) <\/p>\n
Do not use slang or casual language <\/p>\n
SPELLCHECK! Please do not misspell a speaker\u2019s name. Imagine that you are sending this paper to all the speakers as part of a professional job inquiry. <\/p>\n
Make sure to have another student review your paper before submitting.<\/p>\n
Read your paper out loud. You will immediately discover awkward sentences, verbs that do not agree with their subjects and run-on sentences. Hearing your own writing out loud also helps you to discover if your arguments make sense. <\/p>\n
