Structuring the Career College Research Paper:

Structuring the Career College Research Paper:

Comparing and contrasting

1. You will get a much better grade for the course if you structure your research paper by career/college characteristic rather than by career or college name.

For example:

Careers: Nature of Work. (in this section compare and contrast information gleaned on the nature of the work for the careers you have chosen).

Colleges: Admissions. (in this section compare and contrast admissions requirements for the colleges you have chosen)

2. Have a little introduction and concluding statement (these don’t have to be full paragraphs) for each section.  This will force you to compare the chosen colleges and career and you’ll be thinking more about what it means to you rather than just reporting information.
