I learned how to properly organize a paper in 9th grade.

What's the point of the essay? The structure (ie. is it a comparison, persuasive, critical thinking) What's the thesis? Do you have an introduction? How about supporting evidence? GET SOURCES for gods sake. You aren't a professional researcher, or a professional on a topic (if you're a student) if you make a claim, you better back it up. How about a conclusion? Do you restate your thesis and the point of the essay? You need to end with a powerful statement to keep the reader thinking.

When I was doing my research papers in my critical thinking classes I would have in upwards of 20 sources. My classmates would have, say, 5. How do you suppose you can make a compelling argument in a 10-15 page paper with 5 sources backing up your idea?

 

Some sources are reviews. For example I have one paper about lymphocyte extravasation that is about 20 pages long and it cites nearly 200 other sources. Number of sources isn't as big of an issue as the quality of sources. But I think the OP is just having a hard time tying together his major points in a way that flows and transitions well. That is something that takes practice, or you need to sit down with someone like a professor to help guide you through it.

 

To this day, I create about 2-3 outlines before I actually write a paper. First outline is the very basic way I learned in 9th grade

Intro-->Thesis-->Body Paragraph-->Body Paragraph-->Body Paragraph-->Conclusion

Then I start jotting down ideas about what I want to say. If I make a claim, I'll find a source to back it up. Eventually my Outline reaches 5+ pages. That's an outline large enough to easily write 10-15 pages. Outlines are taught for a reason... they help.

 

That isn't the OP's problem; their problem is they cannot move from an outline to a paper with full paragraphs, transitions, and so on.


If we knew what type of essay and maybe if they posted it online we may be able to provide hints but it sounds like what OP needs is an expository writing class.

 

Why not post what you have here? I'm pretty bored at work, I could make suggestions

 

Roll the dice, find a local editor-for-hire on Craigslist.

 

This seems like exactly what you're looking for:

I don't know what kind of quality they offer so still rolling dice.

 

"EssayWriter.org understands the importance of academic education as it is the key to successful future and prosperity."

 

Very funny. I have a decent essay. Grammar has been corrected by many people at my university writing center. I don't need someone to write an essay for me but help me fix my essay.

 

when is it due?
