Слайд 41HOW TO START WORKING ON THE ORDER

Слайд 42
HOW TO COLLECT THE INSTRUCTIONS?
Make a separate folder and name it

as your order number.
Make a separate .docx file for all initial instructions in it.
Copy-paste the instructions from order table, from messages.
Save the files provided by the client into the folder.
Read through all the initial instructions carefully several times and highlight special aspects.
You can make a short outline/plan in the instructions file.

Quick Tips: it’s always better to check the instructions carefully before you accept the order.

Слайд 43
IS SOMETHING MISSING?
Try to find it on the Web.
If you still

don’t have the info, write the message in the order + notify your TL immediately.
If you need to know the country the client is from/the country he studies in, let the TL know ASAP.


Quick Tips: it’s always better to communicate with TL/operator/client about the paper in the messaging section of the order. That way we can make sure the information is stored in one place and we all have access to it.

Слайд 44
HOW TO COLLECT INFORMATION?
If you need to write a research paper,

make sure you understand the main issue/research question.
Just google the key words/topic of the paper.
Sort out any reliable web sources you can find (org, gov, edu websites) from any random information on this topic (posts, .com websites, wikipedia).
You can only use .com websites for your paper when it’s the only option to het required information for the paper (Coca-Cola Financial Reports)

Quick Tips: there is only one occasion when you can skip this step: when you are working on the personal reflection and the instructions demand avoiding the usage of any sources.

Слайд 45

HOW TO COLLECT INFORMATION?

Do not use non-English sources and especially Russian/Ukrainian

ones.

Do not use the sources that are more than 5-10 years old, unless the client requests otherwise.
Make separate folder in your web-browser “Favourites” and add your web sources to the folder.
Make sure you found sources for every part/aspect/question in the instructions.

Quick Tips: it is a useful trick to add “pdf” after your key words. Google search results will most probably consist of academic sources. But please double-check it as well.

Слайд 46
HOW SHOULD THE PAPER BE STRUCTURED?
Each academic paper should always have

3 following parts:







Quick Tips: the structure of the paper is not limited to those parts. There can also be some additional ones like abstract, methodology, literature review, discussion, executive summary etc. Always check the instructions and pay close attention to the structure section.

Слайд 47
HOW TO PREPARE THE STRUCTURE OF THE PAPER?
Always plan how many

words/pages you will use for
Introduction, Main Body and Conclusion

Слайд 48
INTRODUCTION
Gets the reader’s attention
You can get a reader’s attention by telling

a story, providing a statistic, pointing out something strange or interesting, providing and discussing an interesting quote, etc.
Be interesting and find some original angle via which to engage others in your topic.
Provides necessary background information
Don’t start too broad, for instance by talking about how literature helps us understand life, but do tell your readers what they need to know to get their bearings in your topic.
e.g. who wrote the story you’re writing about, when it was published, where it was published, etc.

Слайд 49


INTRODUCTION
Provides a specific and debatable thesis statement
The thesis statement is usually

just one sentence long, but it might be longer depending on the length of the paper. A good thesis statement makes a debatable point, meaning a point someone might disagree with and argue against. It also serves as a roadmap for what you argue in your paper.

Thesis statement

In Research papers (APA) you usually need a research question/hypothesis. Usually the client provide their own research question or hypothesis or ask to find one

In MLA essay papers you usually need a thesis statement. Think your thesis statement over while you read your sources

Слайд 50A thesis statement is a hypothesis you will need to prove

throughout your paper.
The whole development of the essay depends on the successful formulation of the thesis statement.
It is recommended to avoid thesis statements with ambiguous points of view stating that this variant is ok under certain circumstances and the other variant can be relevant under other circumstances.
Do not mistake thesis statement and the introduction of the topic. Do not rephrase the instructions in the thesis statement or dwell upon the main parts of your essay.

WHY IS THESIS STATEMENT SO IMPORTANT?

Слайд 51
THE BODY PARAGRAPHS
Body paragraphs help you prove your thesis and move

you along a compelling trajectory from your introduction to your conclusion.
An easy way to remember the parts of a body paragraph is to think of them as containing the M.E.A.T. of your essay:



Main Idea. The part of a topic sentence that states the main idea of the body paragraph. All of the sentences in the paragraph connect to it. Keep in mind that main ideas are:
like labels. They appear in the first sentence of the paragraph and tell your reader what’s inside the paragraph.
arguable. They’re not statements of fact; they’re debatable points that you prove with evidence.
focused. Make a specific point in each paragraph and then prove that point.

Слайд 52
THE BODY PARAGRAPHS
Evidence. The parts of a paragraph that prove the

main idea. You might include different types of evidence in different sentences. Examples of evidence include…
quotations and/or paraphrases from sources.
facts, e.g. statistics or findings from studies you’ve conducted.
narratives and/or descriptions, e.g. of your own experiences.

Analysis. The parts of a paragraph that explain the evidence. Make sure you tie the evidence you provide back to the paragraph’s main idea. In other words, discuss the evidence.

Слайд 53
THE BODY PARAGRAPHS
Transition. The part of a paragraph that helps you

move fluidly from the first to the last paragraph. Transitions appear in topic sentences along with main ideas. Don’t end paragraphs with transitions; start with them.

Quick Tips: keep in mind that M.E.A.T. does not occur in that order. The “Transition” and the “Main Idea” often combine to form the first sentence—the topic sentence—and then paragraphs contain multiple sentences of evidence and analysis.
For example, a paragraph might look like this:

Слайд 54
THE CONCLUSION
A conclusion is the last paragraph of your essay (if

you’re writing a really long essay, you might need two or three paragraphs to conclude).
A conclusion typically does one of two following things—or, of course, it can do both: summarizes the argument and explains the significance of the argument.

Conclusion




Quick tips: keep in mind that you should use different language than you used in your introduction and your body paragraphs. The introduction and conclusion shouldn’t be the same, you can’t just copy/paste.

Слайд 55
THE CONCLUSION
Summarizes the argument. In the conclusion you should restate your

main points. Especially if you’ve made a long and complicated argument, it’s useful to restate your main points for your reader by the time you’ve gotten to your conclusion.
Explains the significance of the argument. Answer the “so what” question by giving your reader a clearer sense of why your argument matters.
For example, your argument might be significant to studies of a certain time period.
Alternately, it might be significant to a certain geographical region.
Alternately still, it might influence how your readers think about the future. You might even opt to speculate about the future and/or call your readers to action in your conclusion.

Quick tips: If the paper contains a thesis statement or research question/hypothesis (some summaries and personal reflections can go without it), conclusions should rephrase or address the thesis statement.

Слайд 56
BEFORE YOU START WRITING
Plan how many subsections you want to make

in the Main body and what aspects you are going to address.
Please mind that research papers may have Background, Purposes of research/research question, Methods, Sample, Procedures, Results, Discussion/Interpretation, Recommendations and Conclusion. These sections are usually mentioned in the instructions.
Double-check the instruction and make sure you remember all aspects needed. It’s always useful to highlight the main points in your “initial instructions” doc. file.

Quick tips: In the 4+ pages APA style papers do not forget to provide an Abstract. The Abstract is not included into the word count for the paper.

Слайд 57
BEFORE YOU START WRITING
Read through all your sources and sort out

what sources meet your needs.
Look through your chosen sources again and decide what source you are going to use where in the paper.
Read your sources and locate exactly the places you are going to use in the section of the paper.

You can and should use sources even for writing your Introduction.

Quick tips: it’s always useful to go back to your “initial instructions” file and copy/past the links of the appropriate sources under the sections where you plan to use these sources.

Слайд 58

BEFORE YOU START WRITING
If you have to add new ideas, analysis

or make some new conclusions, write them in your plan sections in the “initial instructions” file next to or under the source/link that inspired you for the idea or conclusion.
You may either modify one of the hypotheses taken from your sources or create your own, but make sure it is clear, concise, and relevant to the topic.


YOU ARE READY TO WRITE THE PAPER!


Quick tips: Add exact page numbers of your sources right in your paper plan in each subsection. It will be easier for you to locate the information any time.

Слайд 59HOW TO START THE PAPER

Слайд 60
WRITING PROGRESS
Take your APA/MLA template. Delete the previous content and leave

only formatting (headers, margins, font).
Start from your References first and make sure all sources are cited in accordance with the formatting style of your paper.
Start the Introduction. Represent the topic in general, represent the importance of it, the direction of the essay and provide the thesis statement.
Continue with the Body of the paper. Please provide clear titles for the APA style.

Слайд 61
WRITING PROGRESS
Be clear and get straight to the issue you discuss.

There is no need to include generic discussions in every section; discussions will be provided later.
Please provide a topic sentence at the beginning of each paragraph. A topic sentence tells the reader immediately what you are going to discuss in this paragraph.
One paragraph usually contains one idea, so please make sure you present, discuss the idea and make some sub-conclusion about the idea.
Provide a clear transition from one idea/paragraph to the next.
Make sure you address all the aspects/issues/questions required by the client in the initial instruction.

Слайд 62
WRITING PROGRESS
If this is a research paper, use common sense. Make

sure you only provide the information which is relevant to the research.
Continue with the conclusion. Please move from more specific issues to more general issues.
Make sure all used sources are cited in the paper itself (in-text citations). You need to write down the year of publication for APA and page number for.
Add Table of Contents and Abstract after you have finished your paper in APA style.

Слайд 63

WHEN THE PAPER IS FINISHED
Look through your “initial instructions” document again

and double-check whether you have addressed all the issues/points and have included all the requirements.

Proofread the paper.

Make sure the file’s name is “OrderNumber_Final.docx”.
Upload the paper to lrwriters.com.
Change the status of the order to “completed” in your spreadsheet.

Слайд 64DO’S AND DON’TS

Слайд 65
THE REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH PAPER
No plagiarism.
Following client’s requirements.
Correct format.
Appropriate language, phrasing

and content.
Scholarly sources.

Слайд 66
PLAGIARISM
We follow a zero-plagiarism policy. This means that we do

not tolerate it at all.
The total number of direct quotes cannot exceed 10% of the paper word count.
You must provide a page number for in-text citations if you use a direct quotation irrespective of the format.



Every new order must be written from scratch. You cannot borrow anything from the papers submitted before.

Слайд 67
WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?
Directly copied and improperly referenced work of other authors.

You must use quotation marks for any direct quotation.
References to nonexistent sources or fake references to real sources.
When you copy text from your previous papers (self-plagiarism).

Слайд 68
SCHOLARLY SOURCES
Unless the client expressly requests otherwise, you must use credible

scholarly sources for your papers.
Google Scholar is a very useful tool. There you can find a lot of peer-reviewed articles and other scholarly sources. It is also helpful for referencing.
JSTOR, Questia and other similar online libraries may be a good place to start searching for information.
Wikipedia or any similar online encyclopedias cannot be used as a valid source. You can read it before writing the actual paper, but never specify Wiki as a source in your reference list or use any quotes from there.

Слайд 69HOW TO MAKE SURE YOU USE ACADEMIC LANGUAGE

Слайд 70
TIPS FOR ACADEMIC WRITING
1. Avoid colloquial language. Unless a writing

assignment explicitly states that a conversational tone is appropriate, write using more formal language.
Original: It was so noisy, I couldn’t hear myself think.
Revised: The noise made concentrating difficult.
Original: Group work can be problematic because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
Revised: Group work can be problematic when not everyone contributes equally, causing the project’s quality to suffer.
Original: I worked hard on the assignment because I didn’t want to screw up.
Revised: I worked diligently on the assignment because I wanted to succeed.

Слайд 71
TIPS FOR ACADEMIC WRITING
2. Omit contractions. Spell the words out

completely (for example, do not versus don’t).
3. Use passive voice judiciously. Writing in the active voice almost always improves the clarity of writing.
4. Provide your essay with a title that gives the reader a clear idea of your paper’s topic.
5. Use the citation style indicated in the order. If there is no information, you should use MLA.
6. Proofread carefully, paying careful attention to common mistakes, such as using correct homonyms (led vs. lead) and apostrophes for possessives (it’s vs. its).

Слайд 72
TIPS FOR ACADEMIC WRITING
7. Use impersonal language. In some subject

areas you are expected to avoid the pronoun "I". At the same time, however, you are often asked to make judgements and include your own views on an issue. How can you do this without saying "I think....I feel..." etc?
In fact, whatever is included in your paper that is not attributed to someone else, (e.g. "Jones (1987) demonstrates that…", " According to Smith (1994)…") is assumed to be yours.
So instead of saying "I think that all guns should be banned" you can say "There is a case for stricter government control on guns". The fact that you are not reporting another person's view implies that it is your own.

Слайд 73

TIPS FOR ACADEMIC WRITING
8. Use powerful reporting verbs. When you

discuss other people's research you can create extra meaning by using a more precise reporting verb.

For example, "Jacob (1998) concedes that the test is not 100% reliable" is more powerful than "Jacob says that the test is not 100% reliable" since concedes carries the extra meaning of giving up something from a position.

Other useful reporting verbs are: contend, examine, state, disagree, persuade, dismiss, refute, object, contradict, recommend, concur, propose, describe, observe, assert, support, purport, examine, suggest, claim.

Слайд 74
TIPS FOR ACADEMIC WRITING
9. Be precise and specific. It is

important to be clear about what you are saying. Good academic writing presents complex ideas as simply and clearly as possible. Clear writing indicates clear thinking.
Develop a list of "power" words - ones that say a lot very succinctly, e.g."a controversial idea" is a much more precise way of saying "an idea that not everyone agrees with"; "nocturnal" is a more precise word for "active at night".
Find a good dictionary - not a pocket one; buy a subject-specific dictionary, e.g. a dictionary of economics.
Avoid using long abstract words when short ones would more clearly express your point.
Vary sentence structure and length - be wary of long complex sentences.
