Sample thesis topics to support you in your writing

When you are writing a research it is important that you follow these steps:

1. Give yourself time.

This means that you plan ahead and give yourself enough time to complete the paper properly, without waiting until the last minute or being rushed. If, for example, you are writing a research paper that is between 10 and 20 pages, you should have at least one month to collect the research materials you need and write the paper.

At worst, you should have one week to do it.

2. Organize

Organizing will help you to make the most of the amount of time you have, whether it is one month or one week. You should write a schedule that will help you to keep track of how much time you have left and how much time you will have during the day to do your work. Allot yourself daily time to take notes, to go to the school library for research, to write an outline, to produce a draft, and to revise the paper. If you are a night person, then keep your nights free for work on the project. If you are not a night person, then try and avoid having a lot of late nights. You will produce better work if you are alert, and the best time for alertness varies by person.

Familiarize yourself with the libraries that you might use for your research. If you plan on limiting yourself to your personal school or public library, then spend some time there to get acquainted with the systems and the people. If you plan on using a handful of libraries, do this for each one. It is highly likely that these libraries will have different technologies and reference systems, so learning about each one will help you to save time when you are under a deadline and need to locate something. When you feel pressure, every minute counts.
