In colleges halfway
during the semester or just near the conclusion of the term, the
tutors give the students essays topics or research topics to work on
and deliver the work before a certain date so that they are graded.
The term papers given by individual tutors are to test what the
students have learnt so far and to test if the students are able to
apply their knowledge and research to bring a well-written term
paper.
The students are given a duration of time enough for them to
look for relevant source materials and to create a good paper. The
unfortunate part is that when the students see that they have a lot
of time to the deadline say three weeks they tend to procrastinate
thinking that the deadline is very far and just a few days to the
deadline is when they realize that they have no time. They rush here
and there in the library and due to the hurry; they end up creating
something that is substandard and not worth good grades and end up
failing. This however happens to the bigger part of the student
population as most of them will see no reason to begin the work
immediately as they see that they have a lot of time on their hands.
Time management is considered as one of the key ingredients to
writing a good term paper. If a student dedicated at least two hours
a day on his term paper he will find that in the end, he will not
have to rush and his term paper will be good. Most college term papers are
poorly written, as the students do not take their work seriously. A
serious student would not joke with his work and ensure that his work
is neat and well done.
