Is it possible to complete a 5 page research paper in one night?
There is this crazy thing called COFFEE!!!!!!


And spellcheck.


And wikipedia.





It is possible. I am a pro at it.





Use wikipedia to gather basic needed information. Wikipedia condenses a ton of information into a little bit which saves a ton of time. Because you cannot cite wikipedia and have your paper look decent, wikipedia can be used as a starting base, and you can then search for better sites or books.





Just type. Do not correct errors because spell and grammar check will do that. Once you get going, do not stop unless its to get coffee.


TV off. AIM closed. Anything not paper related away.





Most importantly: Realize that if you do not work like mad focused crazy you will not get this done. Not getting this done means failing. Badly. And that is bad. Scare yourself.

well, what's the verdict? did you complete it?


is there any blood left in your veins or is it 100% coffee? :o)
Reply:You should not procrastinate.
Reply:Start now. It can be done. Use an outline so you know the structure. Then fill in the detail.
Reply:I do it all the time, turn the TV off and get off this Yahoo Q%26amp;a and get busy.
Reply:Page length means nothing. It's the content. You can write a 100 page paper that has zero substance with ease. Meanwhile, a 1 page paper critically analyzing something could take one many days to put together. It also depends on the reader's expectations. If you're an undergrad, there's probably not much in the way of expectation from your professor. On the other hand, a grad student wouldn't dare to turn in crap.
Reply:Good thing you waited til the last minute. Dummy!!
Reply:1. Yes it is possible.


2. Brew coffee, Tea, or have large quantites of soda


3. Start NOW.


4. Pick a topic that has a fairly long article on Wikipedia. Even though it is not considered a good reference by most teachers, it LINKS to good references.


5. Skim the information and the write a lot. After writing go back and tie references into parts of your paper.


6. Cross your fingers that your teacher is not a difficult grader.
Reply:Absolutely ...





I've done a 20+ page report in a night.





However, it requires that you know your material. That is, if you are just starting to sit down and research, you're toast. If you know what you are looking for, then its pretty easy.





Under duress, there is a huge pressure to steal large passages of somebody else's work ... Don't do it. Not only is it probably illegal (violation of copyright laws), its unethical and will rightly cause your professor to kick your butt from here to Tuesday.
Reply:Are you talking doing the raw research, refining the paper and typing it up?





It can be done, but it will look like a rush job.
Reply:Yes. My biggest suggestion is to get started right now and stay focused on it. Use a lot of references and make sure and list what those references are, quotes help a lot too to help fill up the pages. Good Luck!
Reply:In college I did 16 pages overnight so I believe in you.





Somehow I got a "A".





I don't recommend making a habit out of it though.
Reply:if you have the research done - easy.





if you haven't, well, that's different.
Reply:Anything is possible. I've done it. I don't recommend it though.





Just start NOW and take a break every hour or so to rest.
Reply:Absolutely. I've done it. Do your notes. Take a break. Write an outline. Get on the computer and start typing, but make sure to take small breaks every half-hour or so, you'll need to walk away from it. Even if you have to pull an all-nighter, trust me, you can do this. It's a research paper, so you're just putting a whole bunch of information (in an organized way) together. There isn't too much thinking involved, like a Philosophy paper, or something.





Make sure to reference properly!!!





Good Luck! Trust me, you can do this!!! :)
Reply:If you have your research done then yes! otherwise good luck!





instead of asking this question you should be workign on it!! like DUH!! HELLO! wake UP!
Reply:sure, with lots of caffeine. it could be a good one, too. concentrate completely on your paper and don't stop to read Y/A. so my advice is to brew a pot of java, say "yes i can", mark my answer as best, and get to it ...now. Good Luck you can do it!
Reply:I did it in two hours. First do it in single space after 2 pages or so double space it, then WHAM its so cinematic. almost 5 pages. Just sit in front of the comp no tv, no phone, no aim, no distractions and you will be fine. GL
Reply:It is possible to do it. You've got to be VERY focused. If you start at the crack of dawn, then you have a chance. It would help if you have some of the research already done. If not, it's going take you a little bit longer. I've done papers at the last minute. They can be stressful. In the end, I've gotten "A" or "B" on them.





It is possible. You can do it. Just have to stay focused and not distracted. No breaks.





Tip: Go to the store and buy a couple of energy drinks. Eat. Turn off the TV, turn off the ringer on your phone and your cell phone and GET BUSY! Don't stop until tomorrow.
Reply:haha...i did it just last night!! lots of coffee, and ipod, and stay focused. Take notes on sources with the source at the top of the page. I do it often, so I just kinda go with it...good luck!!
Reply:yes, if you will just concentrate in what you are doing
Reply:I've done it. actually it was a 10 page paper. and i got a REALLY good grade too.
