                       Desk research papers are widely assigned in college and university. This course gives you detailed guidance in creating a first quality desk research paper — the kind of guidance that you may not get in any of your classes. 

                       The course consists of 39 video lectures, starting with assignment analysis and ending with polishing the final paper. Crucial stages of the paper development process — such as, for example, developing a narrow topic, writing an effective thesis statement or research question, identifying sources, carrying out targeted research, information analysis, proper citation, peer editing, revision, and rewriting — are all explained and demonstrated in over four hours of video. In addition, supplementary materials are provided for download. 

                The course is divided into six sections: 

                1. Developing Your Research Question or Thesis Statement 

                2. Carrying Out Your Research 

                3. Analyzing Your Information 

                4. Organizing Your Paper 

                5. Qualities of Effective Academic Writing 

                6. Editing and Revision 

                       The skills you learn in this course will make the task of researching and writing a desk research paper more organized, more efficient, and less time consuming, resulting in a paper that meets the higher standards college and university instructors look for in student academic writing. 

                       If you’d like to sharpen your academic writing skills, this course is what you need. And, as a bonus, you’ll find that the skills learned in this course on desk research writing are transferable to other forms of academic writing you’ll be assigned. 

                       This course makes it win-win all the way around! 

            And, of course, you have 30 days to get a refund (no questions asked) if you are not entirely satisfied. That’s another win-win! 

BTW — I’ve just finished revising the entire course. I hope you like the new look! Best wishes for successful writing!
