Steps to take to avoid common problems with research papers

1. Use the initial response to a problem as the starting point for laying the foundation. Start from a different point to make the problem clear.
2. Be sure that I am able to show specific reasons why the changes I am arguing are needed and are important. Start writing the reasons I feel that changes are necessary and how others feel about their importance.
3. Make sure that I have specific, relevant evidence to back up my thesis statement. Look up things that I can use to back up my thesis that are current and accurate
4. Use the different types of appeals, get into the hearts, minds and souls of the readers. Start thinking of ways I can use appeals to bring out emotions in the audience and be convincing.
5.Go over counterarguments. Test my thesis by thinking of ways it can be contested, and look at those arguments.
