Academic Paper

To write an academic paper you must first have some knowledge in the area your writing about. To do this, you should probably do some research on the topic. You can use the web, books, or articles to find out information. After you feel you know what your talking about, you simply brainstorm and organize your thoughts. Once you've developed your ideas and have come up with a thesis you begin writing your rough draft. Academic papers are tougher to write because they usually involve you exploring a topic you weren't familiar with before. You have to do research and a get feel, where as in other papers, you can sometimes write off of pure opinion, no research necessary.
