| Summary |
Writing a research paper can be a huge undertaking. To produce the best results, you need to be selective in choosing and defining your topic, take key steps as you go through the research process, be very organized when collecting data from your sources, and then assemble all your information into a coherent, legible, and rational document. This e-book teaches the skill of essay writing in a 20-step process that provides examples and models that give you a benchmark for your own work. Pre and posttest helps you to define your weakness and strengths and see how you've improved. The appendices provide a list of style manuals and research topics you can use for further help with difficult assignments. |
