What
kind of topics will I need to write a paper on?
You may have no choice as to your topic. But if you do have
a choice on your paper topic, then think about the type of paper
that you are expected to produce. For example, the topic "KENYA"
is a general one. If your objective is to write an overview,
this topic is suitable. If your objective is to write a specific
analysis, this topic is too general. You must narrow it to something
like "Politics in Kenya" or "Kenya's Culture."
How long should my paper be?
Schools can ask you to write papers with a limited word length
or page length and some universities may set no limits. The
schools that set a word limit are very particular that you adhere
to their guidelines.
How can I make my paper look organized?
Before you begin writing your paper, make an outline of how
you want your paper to read. Once you have your outline, you
will then be able to systematically organize your thoughts and
your document will flow in a logical manner. Your paper must
be neatly typed and printed on good quality paper. In a heading
on every page, ensure that your name, your proposed degree and
major, and the term that you are applying for are clearly mentioned.
If I have worked with a friend on my papers, will that
be accepted?
No. By sharing ideas, you may have exactly the same content. If your papers are the same, in whole or in part, this would
be considered unacceptable.
I have heard that writing quotes in a paper will make
it more attractive. Should I do this?
Quotes can make a paper attractive if they fit in with your
content and flow. But you must not insert a quote only because
you have heard of its attractiveness.
