How
can I make my paper look organized?
Before you
begin writing your essay on philosophy, make an outline of how you want your
paper to read. Once you have your outline, you will then be
able to systematically organize your thoughts and your document
will flow in a logical manner. Your paper must be neatly typed
and printed on good quality paper. In a heading on every page,
ensure that your name, your proposed degree and major, and the
term that you are applying for are clearly mentioned.
What
kind of topics will I need to write a paper on?
You may
have no choice as to your topic. But if you do have a choice
on your paper topic, then think about the type of paper that
you are expected to produce. For example, the topic "ethics"
is a general one. If your objective is to write an overview,
this topic is suitable. If your objective is to write a specific
analysis, this topic is too general. You must narrow it to something
like "Ethics in ancient Rome" or "Kant's view
on ethics."
How
long should my paper be?
Essay
philosophy is a topic on its own! Schools
can ask you to write papers with a limited word length or page
length and some universities may set no limits. The schools
that set a word limit are very particular that you adhere to
their guidelines.
If
I have worked with a friend on my papers, will that be accepted?
No. By sharing
ideas, you may have exactly the same content. If your papers
are the same, in whole or in part, this would be considered
unacceptable.
I
have heard writing quotes in a paper make it more attractive.
Should I do this?
Quotes can
make a paper attractive if they fit in with your content and
flow. But you must not insert a quote only because you have
heard of its attractiveness.
