Term Paper

I've got 20 pages to write by Monday morning and have very little understanding of what I am writing about. Anybody have any tips, other than get off of 2+2 and start writing?

UNLESS your paper is about poker. Then stay here and read through Saturday. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Fiddle around with the margins, find a font that is big, but doesn't look big, and even try to find paper that is smaller than letter size (or cut some yourself). Soon you'll find that 20 page paper shrunken down dramatically.

I'll bite, What are you writing about?

If anyone does this, please tell me. I just use Arial at the moment which is larger than the equivalent pt in Times New Roman.

As for the term paper, if you don't need to hand it in but can just leave it in a pigeon hole or something, write the first page and the conclusion and paperclip those together, making sure you number the pages 1 and 20. Then when the "administrative error" is discovered and no one can find the pages that were "lost", you have bought yourself a little time.

You should just do it though, 20 pages of waffle is pretty easy to write.

Professors catch onto this stuff all the time and it reflects on you terribly. Just suck it up and write the thing, 12 pt. Times New Roman style.
