1. Get an idea (something that caught my interest in class)
2. Gather more information from acceptable sources (books & articles)
3. Read the articles from step 2
4. Think about the issue from step 1in light of new information from step 3
5. Prepare an outline
6. Write the paper
Should I write it myself or cut and paste from the web? If I am caught, I will get a cheating F (2 cheating Fs = expelled from university). So, if I use someone else’s idea I will cite Soldat (2009) thinks…or cheating is bad (Soldat, 2009).
