Does anyone Binge Eat when writing research papers?

We Answered:

I know what you mean. When your writing a research paper the only thing that matters at that point is getting it done so diet, friends, everything else goes out the window. Plus, at least for me, i tend to get nervous and eating candy and other junk I should probably stay away from is a form of comfort.

My suggestion, try working on your paper somewhere where food is not easily accessible (like the library or an empty classroom). If you have to work at home, then arrange a platter of healthy choices and lay it out in front of you before you begin writing (carrots and peanut butter, fruit, rice cakes, low-calorie popcorn).

Just don't beat yourself up over it. If your eating healthy the rest of the time you will be fine. Hope this helps.

What tips do you have for writing better research papers?

We Answered:

Title page has the title, date, and your name (and class it's for). The reference page includes whatever sources you cited. There are lots of citing guides online, or your prof might have suggested a form to use. Spelling and grammar can be checked by most word processing programs, and then ask someone to read it over for you. Most colleges have writing centers you can go to for help.

5.Font: Times New Roman at 12 points. The font you are reading is Times New Roman at 12 points. You need to make sure that you turn your paper in with these specs.
6.Title: You must have a title for your essay. It cannot be the title of the book.
7.Extra Spacing: Do not include any extra spacing between paragraphs or your name or title. It is unnecessary.
8.Indent Paragraphs: Remember to indent. Push the TAB key only once or the space bar 5 times.
9.Start typing your essay. If you do all these steps prior to typing your essay, you should be fine.
10.Parenthetical Citations: Make sure that you have the author’s last name and page number from which you found the quotation. Example: “Tears flowed down his face” (Lee 89). Note that the period goes after the last parenthesis because I’m finishing the sentence and I’m going to start a new sentence after it. If I put the period before the 1st parenthesis, then I have a random piece of information floating around in my essay.
11. Works Cited: You must include a works cited page for your book. This needs to be the last page of your essay. Check your Writing with Style handout that you received in class.

I hope this helps.

How can I help my friend overcome her fear of writing papers?

We Answered:

Well, that is a little more than fear. There are actual mental restrictions that can be overcome, but take much more time and work. I would recommend joining a separate writing class to help on useful tips and information before jumping into graduate school. Lots and lots of different writing classes, too. Knowledge is power, and the more comfortable your friend feels about writing papers and the more papers written should help a lot. Otherwise, perhaps getting a tutor may help.
