Lifehack posted a decent article this morning outlining some common sense tips for becoming a more effective writer.
The executive summary:
- Pace yourself.
- Plan your paper first.
- Start your paper with the second paragraph.
- Don’t worry about writing crappy drafts.
- Stay away from plagiarism.
- Follow your instructors directions.
- Refrain from using Wikipedia.
- Everything you put in your paper should connect to your main idea.
- Always proofread. Forwards and backwards.
- Offer a conclusion.
You should be familiar with most of these points, but I suppose it is never a bad idea for a refresher. Check out the original article for the author’s explanations to the main points listed above.
