Academic Essay Writing: The Case Of Term Papers

Authors : Smail Benmoussat .

Abstract

This paper argues for a rational and consistent way of writing academic essays with a particular focus on term papers, commonly called, ‘exposés’. The term paper which has become commonplace in many tutorials (TD’s) is, in effect, a well-documented composition based for the most part on outside readings; these readings may be from books, articles, and, not least, from web-retrieved documents. However, notwithstanding the dichotomy of writing as a process and product, there are conventional research methodological considerations that a priori help the writing of an academic composition and pave the way for a better conception of the topic under consideration. These considerations form the core of the present paper.
