Let us know how you get on.
5. Start early and budget your time.
You've heard this a million times, but it can be too easy to let time slip away when
you must juggle class assignments, work and party time. But starting early can
mean simply thinking through and budgeting your time. If there is reading and
research involved, then the sooner the better. Starting early will also help you deal
with unforeseen problems like difficulty obtaining the required research materials
or coming down with the flu just before the paper is due. Starting early helps not
only to get through the work, but also to let the ideas steep into your brain.
4. Learn by example.
If you are confused about writing essays or how to approach the subject matter
look for examples. Read other essays to help you understand how to organize and
present the information. Look at how the author introduces the topic, develops the
idea and provides a clear conclusion. Is there a logical approach to the paper?
Does it flow like a conversation or a good lecture? How does the writer make the
topic interesting? Is the language and style consistent or does seem to jump
around? Later when you are reviewing your work, ask the same questions.
Compare the effectiveness of your approach. You may want to look at papers with
similar subject matter to be sure you are writing to standards of that particular

yourself. Find the things that interest you and find your voice. If you have a
unique take on the material you might want to run your ideas past the professor.
Original thinking is not as easy as it might seem. As a student you may think you
have a new idea that is actually not at all original. Sometimes comparing two ideas
leads to a new way of thinking that outside the box. Being original is risky, and is
not always rewarded in the short run. But original thinking may also lead to
rewards not only in school but also in your life ahead.
