Plan:
Make a plan: what are you going to say in each block of 1000 / 1500 / 2500 words; in 5, 4 or 2 sections?
Once you have made a plan
- stick to it

Plan:
The secret of a successful term paper is the ‘plan’; put the plan into a
structure.

Word-count:
References (author/date) count
bibliographies and captions do not
Word-count:
you can be 10% over or under before you are penalised

Word-count:
all written work is improved by editing. The secret is to write what
you want to write - bearing the word-count in mind - and then edit down.

Illustrations
Remember that your reader may not know what the ‘thing’ you are talking about looks like - give them a picture; it also saves words [...you don’t have
to describe it].

Time
Leave enough time so that you can review your term paper a couple of days after you have ‘finished’ it and
before you have to submit it.

The Deadline
Hand in on time
It will take you longer to hand in than you think…
