according to Bruce (2008) when students write a paper, they:
- need to seek evidence:(either to support my point of view, or to understand the big picture)
- find statistics
- find supporting ideas
- find contrasting opinions
2. developing an argument: (either I would stick to my orginal point of view, or adapt a new one according to my readings)
- should have the knowledge about the topic
- organize these knowledge into context
- update the argument point of view
3. the paper should have a purpose (a problem to solve):
- how to help the community
- or how does it affect any social or political changes
i believe these steps should be known to every student needs to do a paper.
