Begin writing the paper well in advance of the due date. You will give youself time to set the paper aside and to have a writing conference at the Writing Center to discuss your organization. Draft the paper . Take your general outline and under each topic jot down points or issues you want to cover. Organize the subtopics.
Some writers like to visualize relationship between ideas with flow charts with lines or arrows.
Organize your notecards or notes by category in your outline or by subtopics. Start the easiest writing first which might be the middle of the outline with work from other researchers. The introduction with background material may be easy to write. Don't forget the statement of purpose. The first draft is a rough version.
