Techniques for a term paper

When I am writing, the first thing I will do is to write a outline. The outline can help me be more clear about what I am going to write and divide the task into several small sections. Working with small task will speed up my writing and make me feel that I have achievements.

My topic for term paper

I will choose to write a history of facebook.com for my term paper.

Resourses for researching

Library is the most common way for me to find references when I am doing research. I will search papers by key words through electronic journal websites provided by library. Also, google scholar is a tool I prefer. Reading books is also another way for references in doing research, but materials covered by books is not so updated for doing research.
To sum up, Website is my favorite way to find references for my research.

Using computer

Computer is my most important stuff. I am using computer to do lots of things:

Learning and Doing Homework! Many materials for my classes are electronic version and I need to use a computer to have access to them.

Watching movies. Some video websites are my favorite websites. I often visit those websites and check out whether there are some good movies. They are free and the quality is endurable.

Calling my family. I am using Skype to call my family in China. It is cheap (about 2 cents per minute) and works very well. You definitely should have a Skype account and try it!
