James Said:

Can anyone please help me with this market research report assignment please!?

We Answered:

I dont know if this would help but, you can write about how a customer might not like a product they bought. what the business could do to resolve the customer dispute. and how the business can learn and grow from that. And finaly how they can do a data/research on what customers usually complain about and try to fix it.

hope this helps.

How do I structure a research paper/report?

We Answered:

Most teachers like papers done in a specific format, such as MLA. I'm hoping that's the format you're supposed to use or else my post will be useless. :D

Setting up the paper:
Step 1 - Change the margins to one inch. I only have Microsoft Word, sorry if you don't have it, but go to File, Page Setup, and then the Margins options will come up. Change the top, bottom, left and right margins all to one inch if they aren't already that way.
Step 2 - Put your last name and the page number on the page. Click View and then Header and Footer. Change the alignment so the text is on the right. Type in your last name. Now, you can insert the page number by clicking Insert and then Page Number.
Step 3 - Change the paper so all of the writing will be double spaced. Select Format, Paragraph, and change the option of line spacing single to double. (Note: when you're done with the paper, you can just highlight all of the text and hit CTRL and 2 and everything will double space itself).
Step 4 - Include your name, the teacher's name, the course name, and the date the assignment is due on one line each.
Step 5 - Come up with a title. Type it up after all of the info in Step 4. Center it. Try to make it original and not something like "My Favorite Character." :) I guarantee your teacher will love a unique title. By the way, you don't have to underline or bold the title.

ALRIGHT!!!!! The format is all set up and it's time to write the paper. :D
Now, there really is no set way to organize a paper. But, you definitely want to have major points for the paragraphs. For example

Paragraph 1: Intro about the character.
Paragraph 2: In depth analysis of the character (explain who they are, their likes, daily life, major achievements such as wrote 483 songs, their personality etc).
Paragraph 3: Why you like the character.
Paragraph 4: Conclusion

You said the teacher said what you need in the assignment, so make the majormajor stuff you need into paragraphs.

There is one thing you absolutely need in the first paragraph, though. The last sentence HAS TO BE A THESIS STATEMENT. A really really really easy way to do a thesis is this:
come up with the main points for the body paragraphs that you're doing for your essay. Depending on how many paragraphs you want, say 3, you can include those into the thesis.
For instance, say the main points are that the character is brave, honest, and funny. You could write "__charactername___ displays ___ through bravery, humor, and honesty. <- also feel free to add adjectives in front of these (like extreme bravery, etc).
Or, you can simply write one sentence that summarizes what your paper is about.
Example (this is one I wrote for a research paper about pets and their owner's blood pressure): In fact, research has shown that pets, more specifically dogs, are very beneficial to own.

For the conclusion, make sure you summarize your paper. Maybe you could summarize each paragraph into a sentence. Feel free to do whatever works for you!


Uhmm wow I didn't realize this was that long. One final thing. If you are going to put quotes in the paper (that would probably be a great thing to do), you'll want to cite them. Make sure to introduce the TV show/book/movie at the beginning of the essay (in the first paragraph). For a book, you will then just have to put the page number in parentheses after the quote and then add a period.
It should look like this

Blah blah blah "QUOTE QUOTE QUOTE" (PAGE NUMBER)."
So essentially, sentence "quote" (44)."

Then the final step (FINALLY) is to do the works cited page for the material you used.
Start a new page.
Type Works Cited and center it and also underline it.

Go to this website for how to cite a source: http://www.liu.edu/cwis/cwp/library/work…
(and also I think it has how to do the page number thing for something that isn't a book).

Hopefully this helped!!

How to write a conclusion is a research report?

We Answered:

First of all there is a difference between a conlclusion paragraph and a conclusion sentence. A conclusion sentence closes a paragraph with a statement about the whole point of the paragraph. A conclusion paragraph is the last paragraph and should contain the three R's: RESTATE the thesis, REVIEW all your paragraphs and whole report in just a couple of sentences, and REFRESH the readers memory and also tell the main purpose of your whole report.

For a conclu. sent. you can tell about your whole paragraph in one sentence

For a Conclu. Paragraph you can Say your points

I hope this helps!

How do you write a thesis statement without taking a side?

We Answered:

depends on the prof. i've been in trouble for not taking sides on such papers.
if you are focusing on one aspect of the death penalty, state that in your thesis. totally depends on your paper. for example if you are writing about how the death penalty has changed over the years, state that.
