How to write the introduction of a college paper: Academic writing tutorial

[@BigJeffrey43]

I'm restarting a degree program after stopping 6 years ago. A little nervous about writing college level papers again. I asked my professor if he could give me some tips. He mentioned your channel. I already subscribed over a month ago when he told me about your channel. I've been watching anything and everything pertaining to writing academic papers. I think your channel is the best after watching this video. I know this video will help me tremendously going forward. It's exactly what I needed. You are truly a blessing! Thank you so very much and please keep up the outstanding work you do on your channel.

[@frankiegarcia6100]

I've been going crazy trying to figure out how I'm going to approach this research paper. After watching a few of your videos I finally figured it out and have it laid down step by step. You are a life saver!!

[@mystic3656]

Did you pass?

[@CJ-gp9yh]

Chelsea your videos have been the most valuable resource I’ve found, I’m a returning student after 10+ years. Thank you!

[@smartstudent_official]

That's great! I'm glad you're finding my videos helpful. Thank you for watching and supporting this channel! :)

[@lpaden2839]

Thank you chelsea. I have been struggling how to start. Also,do you have any tips on abstracts

[@judibrown6307]

You have helped me in so many ways I can not even begin to list them. I was panicking when I was told I was to use the APA format for my papers when I enrolled in a university program. I have been out of school for over 40 years and had no idea what APA even was. Thanks to you, I'm doing great and have a more substantial understanding of APA formatting. I use one or more of your videos every day. I don't know what I would have done without you. Keep up the amazing teaching you do.!!

[@jothamwriter4839]

Hello, how is your studies coming along?

[@heathergallant2469]

There are lots of us out there returning to school and formatting has drastically changed. I think APA is the easiest to understand and use it whenever It's allowed. Happy studying!

[@davidh6815]

Thanks Chelsea, your videos have been a great benefit. My next term starts in 10 days, so I will be able to put your advice into practice.

[@HatoonAl-Otaibi]

wow

[@Lovely_Gire]

I just learnt on of the most precious things of all. I had aproblem sticking to the topics and would write alot of unnecessary stories on one subtopic and waste all time there before writing about the next. SO jotting them on paper before actual writing is so helpful to maintain the focus!

[@Thebuick00]

Love you videos!! Taking masters classes after being out of college for over 35 years. You videos are perfect for me. They’re very informative and excellent in the artist format. Great job, and keep filming.

Two years now and I am back to for a tip! Thnx Chelsea. I am doing an MBA Executive Summary, your outlining tip is on my Word document right now! I am going to pass this video to my nephew right now.

[@tyronesanchez9208]

Hi Chelsea...when I first started watching your videos, I must admit, I had my doubts about the information that you gave...but I was desperate and decided to take the information to heart. Your step by step instructions worked and I aced my first college paper assignment ...thank you...thank you...thank you!

[@caseygray5523]

The way you speak about everything makes it so comforting. Writing papers in the past has led me to drop out of college a few different times but I'm on a new journey and your videos really help! Thank you so much for doing these. I will say, that I found the music distracting, I think just your voice is perfect, or even some like brown or white noise. I'll definitely use your videos for all future papers when I need help!

[@jamesmcclure9008]

It took me 2 years of writing essays to figure out what you said here. Follow the objectives of the assignment and write specific to them. I left out the extra stuff I thought was needed and my papers score high every time. Thanks for the video.

[@danacooper6723]

I am so happy i decided to subscribe as I have a 7 page research paper that is due Sunday by midnight. I was stressing about writing a great paper instead of outlining the paper and making it flow. It makes it MUCH easier. Thank you!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm a mom of 2 little ones, working almost full time, managing a at home business, and adding college on top of that *stressed out Jenna noises*. When my instructor asked for an APA format paper, I felt lost and honestly stupid. I've watched a few of your videos and I feel like I have some confidence to start. I'll defiantly be recommending your videos to my classmates and watching ALL of the videos to get me through the school year.

[@kodykramer8597]

Thank you Chelsea this is helpful. I'm a returning student who has no knowledge on writing papers, I tried to write a paper and it lacked organization and alot of other necessary qualities of a good paper. I loved how you said if you just stick to the setup it's hard for your professor to find fault in your papers. Can you point me to any videos you have that will help me with writing me papers mostly towards my formating like intro, body, conclusion then I notice you have indents and certain areas are bolded... Any resources would be helpful

[@freedom8gemini2]

Ugh... makes me want to cry ! I'm saving this video... ty ty ty

[@thebookwasbetter3650]

Good stuff. I remember in my freshman comp class they did not teach us how to actually write a paper. They just gave us assignments and thought practicing writing would somehow work. It wasn't until I was a junior when a prof told the class to first write a one or two sentence thesis, then the body of the paper should support your argument. Sheesh, why couldn't they just tell us this in freshman comp? Kind of like practicing your golf swing 10,000 times but doing it incorrectly.

Hi, I'm Angie from NY. Your videos are great.. I just started attending classes on line. Its been over 15yrs since I attended school and your videos are very helpful. Im not sure which writing style I will need to use yet so I'm gathering information about both APA and MLA styles... Thank you again.

[@smartstudent_official]

Great! Thank you for watching. I'm glad you found this video helpful. Best of luck to you! It can be tough to get started in classes again when you've been out for awhile. You've got this tough! Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to address them in future videos :)

[@kii7411]

Your video is easy to understand. This really helps me to start my master degree through online from next month. I'm not good at writing... It would be nice you could update some materials of APA styles; how to quote, how to compile main idea into each sections etc... Thanks in advance from Japan.

[@beautepley8352]

Yeah thinking ahead and laying out all the headers before hand is a great idea. I don't know how many papers I have wrote blind, without thinking about the flow. Got a terrible grade and then my confidence went down. Doing what's asked is important, despite how you feel about your chosen topic and what you're trying to communicate. Have you ever tried not to use big words so that the teacher knows it's you and doesn't accuse you of plagarism?

[@smartstudent_official]

A lot of times students do not outline because they feel like it will take them longer to write the paper. It actually makes it much easier and quicker! When it comes to the big words, that is my academic writing style. After reading/writing for two business degrees you pick up the lingo. I do think that using big words for the sake of using big words in not a good strategy. Teachers can generally pick up that!

[@jonathanlopez9704]

Once again, another fantastic video! My professor has stated that he wants the last sentence of the introduction to be my thesis statement. Following your video, would I format everything the same and just add the thesis at the end or would the thesis actually replace a section?

[@smartstudent_official]

lol! I used to feel the same way in college. I'm glad you found this helpful though! I find that every professor/tutor has their own way of doing things. However, in the end, they're all grading for the same thing - to ensure that you answered all the objectives in your writing prompt. So, when it comes to writing introductions, I found it best to demonstrate that my paper includes exactly what's in the writing prompt. It's a safe way to go!

Hi there! I know it's been awhile but I wanted to comment because I've made a video dedicated to writing abstracts for student papers. The first is a video on how to write an abstract. The second video is all about the differences between and abstract and an Introduction. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXmnnoqcoKh5mqM kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5zViJZ_frhjjbM
