writing the first draft

When you have already finalized your outline, you should now be prepared to move on to the next phase which is writing your first draft.  With an outline based on the notes you have gathered, this phase of term paper writing should be like a breeze. All you need to do is follow your outline but be sure to acknowledge all borrowed ideas.

A term paper is not a string of borrowed ideas from different authors.  Of course you need these ideas from authority as springboard for discussion but should not be the main course of the paper.  It is up to you throw in some expert opinion but be sure to come in after each borrowed item by agreeing or maybe disagreeing or maybe expanding the discussion in your terms.
