Thank you!! A very useful post, Nazia!
One thing I wanna suggest is (and I learned this the hard way, bah!) ... some teachers/professors like to give you papers during the first couple of weeks of class and tell you that it's due in the last week of school. Now, we all get excited and feel relaxed and think, "Yayy! Not to worry! I can handle 20 pages, and THREE MONTHS? That's a LOT of time, man!"
Um, no, that's not a lot of time if you really wanna make it excellent. So what this one professor of mine makes us do is turn in a page of our paper each week (on Fridays), so that when the due date of the paper comes, it's long been done! I mean, one page a week is nothing, trust me, so I would advise everyone to just do that instead of procrastinating and doing the paper a couple of hours before it's due. (Unfortunately, I was compelled to change my topic in the middle of the semester, so I'm still not done with this new topic, but it's still a nice strategy to use for future papers, eh.)
