回复: 怎样写论文 Paper
Well, for History, just pick a period you want to know about, read some general info, and then pick a topic.
After you've got your topic set (make it narrow, as narrow as possible. First it can be about a person or government's action and reaction toward an event, but when you write the paper, you have to narrow it down to one single opinion and one specific topic) and then dig into the library and start reading. Don't read the all the books, make use of the index, you'll probably only need to read 1 to 2 chapters in most books. But you have to find at least two book that's specific to your topic, you can only find deep disscussions in those.
Also research into historians that specializes in your topic, and try to find their books. You should be able to get them in university libraries.
And then you also need first hand documents, books are usually secondary. You need to find newspapers, documents etc. that were written or made during the event of your interest.
Then comes the analysis. You have to see why each person (be it the historian or the person who made the comments in the document) are saying what they say, look into their background, and their position of interest. Dig up all the proofs you can find that support your thesis.
Then is the writting. Group your thoughts into sections, and write them down. Remember to refer to the historian's views and make mention of opposing views and how you think they might make sense and how your argument is still better than theirs.
Remember to keep a log of all those ppl you are citing, and write them down in the bibliography, otherwise you are dead meat>< |
