- Choosing a Topic and Creating a Thesis Statement Writing is a process. Invention/pre-writing > Planning > Drafting > Revising > Editing > Proofreading Don’t try to work through all of these stages in one sitting; start early and visit the stages at different times. These stages are fluid and often overlap; you won’t go through them in the same order for every paper you write. This is particularly true for research papers; you may find as you are drafting or revising that you need to go back to do some more research and planning. The Writing Center is a great place to talk over your ideas at any stage of the process—especially if you are having trouble getting started. This handout provides some simple steps to get started!

Midterm momentum: better, faster, stronger...
![Share on Facebook Share on Facebook](https://www.concordia.ca/content/dam/common/icons/social-media/facebook-round.png)
Take a bow. You made it through midterm exams. It’s a good moment to call home and share the news with your friends and family.
If you wish you’d done better, don’t despair. There are resources in place at Concordia to get you back on track, emotionally and academically.
“I recommend students give themselves at least a one-day, guilt-free break,” says Marc Léger, psychologist with Concordia’s Counselling and Psychological Services .
“Try to return to a regular sleep schedule, and to ensure proper nutrition and exercise. A healthy body is essential for a healthy mind!”
Get action-oriented
Léger recommends that, in order to get motivated again for the next push, students need to begin working again and not wait to feel motivation.
“This time of year has more to do with structure and self-accountability than it does with the burst of energy present at the beginning of the semester. Motivation comes from doing, so get action-oriented.”
This doesn’t mean berating yourself, or thinking you have to be a perfect student, he insists.
“A lot of students think that they have to have it together at all times. I remind them that being their best selves means not giving up when times are tough and thinking back to past successes.”
Students who feel exceptionally overwhelmed can make a triage appointment to seek personal counselling.
Need a new academic game plan?
While getting action-oriented is essential to self-motivation, it’s also advisable to look at tangible ways to improve your study habits.
“The worst thing you can do is worry without taking action,” says Juliet Dunphy, manager of Student Learning Services at the Student Success Centre . “If midterms created a crisis of confidence, what matters is what you do about it next.”
Learning resources within the Student Success Centre exist in many forms: writing assistance , math assistance , study groups , language support and more than 200 workshops a year on topics such as strategies for studying in your second language, tips for online learning, taking multiple choice exams, time management and effective oral presentations.
There is a writing assignment calculator online to plan and break down the process of drafting papers, as well as approximately 90 handouts with tips on everything from problem-solving to effective reading and note-taking.
“Making an appointment with one of our learning specialists is a good place to start, along with requesting to be paired with a student mentor ,” says Dunphy.
“We point students to workshops, handouts, math tutoring, writing assistance and possibly counselling. We also have strategic learning sessions — specific study groups for historically difficult classes in economics, chemistry, biology and geography.”
Meet the learning specialists
Haleh Raissadat and Courtney MacDonald, two of Concordia’s full-time learning specialists, note that study strategies are different for reading-based courses versus problem-solving courses, which typically involve numbers.
“Problem-solving courses are cumulative, so it’s important to make sure you understand everything as you go along,” says Raissadat, who specializes in problem-solving courses in math and engineering.
“Redoing questions isn’t learning. You need to apply the knowledge in a different context.”
For students in the humanities and other reading-based courses, MacDonald recommends that they "get into the habit of asking questions and making predictions while reading." She suggests students "read smaller chunks of information and stop to check for understanding regularly by answering their questions and confirming predictions.”

- Locate other hints.
Additional Resources:
Deciphering an Assignment Guide
Choosing a topic for your paper is a little like joining a conversation that is already happening around you.
- Choose something of interest to you.
- Make a list of potential topics.
- Conduct pre-research to see what has been written about your potential topic.
Exploring a Topic Guide
Determine types of sources required by your instructor and what types of sources best fit your topic.
- Scholarly Sources: Written by experts (scholars, professors, researchers) in a given field, scholarly sources are highly specialized and often individual research projects that include methodology and theory and may undergo a peer-review process.
- Trade/Professional Publications: Written by professionals in the field or journalists working for the publisher, these publications report on industry trends, new products or techniques, and discipline-specific news.
- Popular Magazines: Written by journalists or freelance writers, popular magazines inform readers about issues of common interest to the general public.
- Newspapers: Are written for the general public and have different sections (ranging from investigative reporting to editorials). Look carefully at the section and what is being said in the articles to distinguish the types of articles you have found.
- Primary Sources: The terms \"primary\" or \"original\" sources are used to describe several different types of sources. In the sciences, original research or primary sources describe an original article. In the humanities, a primary source could be the text of a novel or an artifact such as a diary or map.
Library How To Videos
Evaluating sources of information is an important step before using them for research.
- When trying to decide if a source is sufficient for your topic, consider the author, type of authority needed, accuracy, and publication date in an initial evaluation.
- A critical analysis will help you determine if you have the right information for your context.
- Consider the audience or purpose of the source as well as relevance to your specific research project.
Evaluating Sources Guide
Critical reading is active engagement and interaction with texts, and it is essential to your success in college
- Read the Abstract and skim the Introduction (look specifically for the thesis statement) and Conclusion or Discussion section. These sections should tell you what the authors intended to prove, quickly how they went about it and what happened with the particular study.
- Read the Methods and Results section. These are likely the most complex parts of the article. But, these sections will detail the author(s) methodology and the results of their research.
- How does this research fit into what is previously known? How is this research unique?
- How was the study designed?
- How is this study relevant?
- Who does the author represent and how was the study funded?
To make an impact as a writer, you need to do more than present ideas that are logical, well supported, and clear.
- The key to a great paper is in the planning. Figure out what you are going to write about before you begin writing.
- Once you have planned out your ideas, start drafting or writing. Refer back to your plan, but don't be afraid to change it when needed.
- Think of your writing as a means of entering into the scholarly conversation, using what others have said as a backdrop to your views.
- The best writing makes clear connections among its different parts. What you say in one sentence both sets up what is to come in the next sentence and logically follows what was said in the previous sentence. The same should be true of your paragraphs.
Planning Your Assignment Guide
Revision will make your writing better
- Set your paper aside for a few hours or a day in order to read it more objectively
- Read your paper out loud to ensure what you have written sounds correct.
- How well have I made my argument?
- How can I improve it?
- Are sentences too vague and ambiguous?
- Have I tied it all together well?
Revising Guide
Academic writing refers to a style of expression researchers use to define the intellectual boundaries of their disciplines
- Formal tone.
- Use of third-person rather than first-person perspective.
- A clear focus on the research problem under investigation, and
- Precise word choice.
It may seem like citing your sources is tedious, but it's important and there are many reasons to do it:
- Helps you avoid plagiarizing.
- Allows the reader to find your research sources. Think of citations as footprints leading the reader through some of the steps you took to reach your conclusions.
- Provides evidence for your arguments and adds credibility to your work by demonstrating that you have sought out and considered a variety of viewpoints on a given topic, and
- Is standard practice for scholars and students engaged in written academic conversations

At William and Mary, students were ranked as either No. 1, or No. 2, where No. 1 represented students that were first in their class, while No. 2 represented those who were "orderly, correct and attentive." Meanwhile at Harvard, students were graded based on a numerical system from 1-200 (except for math and philosophy where 1-100 was used). Later, shortly after 1883, Harvard used a system of "Classes" where students were either Class I, II, III, IV, or V, with V representing a failing grade. All of these examples show the subjective, arbitrary, and inconsistent nature with which different institutions graded their students, demonstrating the need for a more standardized, albeit equally arbitrary grading system. In 1887, Mount Holyoke College became the first college to use letter grades similar to those commonly used today. The college used a grading scale with the letters A, B, C, D, and E, where E represented a failing grade. This grading system however, was far stricter than those commonly used today, with a failing grade being defined as anything below 75%. The college later re-defined their grading system, adding the letter F for a failing grade (still below 75%). This system of using a letter grading scale became increasingly popular within colleges and high schools, eventually leading to the letter grading systems typically used today. However, there is still significant variation regarding what may constitute an A, or whether a system uses plusses or minuses (i.e. A+ or B-), among other differences. An alternative to the letter grading systemLetter grades provide an easy means to generalize a student's performance. They can be more effective than qualitative evaluations in situations where "right" or "wrong" answers can be easily quantified, such as an algebra exam, but alone may not provide a student with enough feedback in regards to an assessment like a written paper (which is much more subjective). Although a written analysis of each individual student's work may be a more effective form of feedback, there exists the argument that students and parents are unlikely to read the feedback, and that teachers do not have the time to write such an analysis. There is precedence for this type of evaluation system however, in Saint Ann's School in New York City, an arts-oriented private school that does not have a letter grading system. Instead, teachers write anecdotal reports for each student. This method of evaluation focuses on promoting learning and improvement, rather than the pursuit of a certain letter grade in a course. For better or for worse however, these types of programs constitute a minority in the United States, and though the experience may be better for the student, most institutions still use a fairly standard letter grading system that students will have to adjust to. The time investment that this type of evaluation method requires of teachers/professors is likely not viable on university campuses with hundreds of students per course. As such, although there are other high schools such as Sanborn High School that approach grading in a more qualitative way, it remains to be seen whether such grading methods can be scalable. Until then, more generalized forms of grading like the letter grading system are unlikely to be entirely replaced. However, many educators already try to create an environment that limits the role that grades play in motivating students. One could argue that a combination of these two systems would likely be the most realistic, and effective way to provide a more standardized evaluation of students, while promoting learning.
