.... I don't know why you guys are b*tching about this article so much! I agree, the list is not comprehensive: there are a bunch of things you could also do to make it better (like... research? Not mentioned in that article.) Some of the examples are also not the best that I would use, but you have to look at the bigger picture. The ideas are in the right place. Here's a run-down:Write about something you?re passionate about.(Duh.)Write a strong thesis.(... Okay, some of the sub-items on this one are retarded - you don't just start saying blatantly wrong and stupid stuff just to make a strong impact with your thesis; it actually has to be a good argument to start. This idea should be retooled: "Write a strong thesis" = "Clairfy your argument.")Use yourself as a source.(The example is stupid, but the point is valid. You're writing a research paper; you better be contributing something new that no one else has or else there's no point.)Consult the experts.(Definitely. You shouldn't just hide behind other people's papers. If you're writing a research paper and doing research work, you should seek the active input of other people in the field.)Choose your audience.(Duh.)
