Rule #1 Explanation. Incredibly, I have gotten papers that have no direct relationship at all to the course the student is in. This should be self-explanatory. You submit a paper that is not directly related to the course you’re in, and you get a zero. Period. No excuses.
Rule #2 Explanation. Start with trying to get the title. TITLE of a course research paper is defined as: “The presentation of the essential segments of the paper.” Follow the instructions in “Tips on Selecting Your Research Title.”
Don’t make the reader guess EXACTLY what’s going to be in the paper, based upon your title. Spell it out, in great detail.
TIP: You can almost always do this by spelling out the WHO, WHAT, WHEN , WHERE, HOW and WHY.
Here is a too-short and unspecific title: “An Al Qaeda attack using weapons of mass destruction.”
The reader has almost no idea what that paper would contain. It doesn’t tell the reader when, where, how, what specific weapon, etc.
Here is the long -- correct – and specific title: An Al Qaeda Attack, Using Anthrax, in the New York Subway System, During the Morning Rush Hour, Utilizing Aerosol Dispensing, and How to Prevent Such an Attack.”

I. HOW TO SELECT YOUR RESEARCH TOPIC TITLE
Rule #1: The paper must directly relate to the course you’re in.
Rule #2: Make the title extremely specific. To do that, WRITE DOWN the essential segments of the paper and this will become BOTH your title AND the Table of Contents. The first chapter must be entitled Introduction and the last two entitled Summary and Conclusion, and Bibliography.
Rule #3: DO NOT put any questions ANYWHERE in the paper, and that includes the title and table of Contents, EXCEPT for questions that appear inside direct quotes you took from other sources, and anything in the Bibliography.

3 common abuses against animals
“Animal rights is the idea that the most basic interests of non-human animals should be afforded the same consideration as the similar interests of human beings,” according with the Encyclopedia Britannica. 2007. Having said that animals should not be thought as humans but they should be treated with the same consideration as humans. Contrarily to this statement animals currently are subject to different types of abuses. While most of the animals live in their natural habitat some born under cage or are captured and obligated to live under inhuman conditions and to learn skills that are not native to them for entertainment proposes. Even worse there is a group of animals that are used to test the effects of some products before they are offered to the public. Unfortunately also Industries who dedicates to produce animal meat for human consume use inappropriate methods to slaughter animals. These three types of abuse are the most common abuses to animals nowadays.
Animals are abused and exploited in diverse forms of entertainment. For example, animals are used in circuses, where elephants, lions, tigers, and other animals are obliged to perform acts that are dangerous for them in order to provide a few moments of human distraction. Likewise in marine parks, dolphins and orcas stay enclosed and sentenced to live in a reduced pool deprived of normal social and environmental interaction. Another example is zoos where, under the excuse of providing education, animals are exposed to inappropriate conditions. Most of these animals feel bored and lonely.
Animal testing, also known as animal experimentation, is another type of abuse to animals. Worldwide, it is estimated that 50 to 100 million animals are used annually in this type of experiments. Laboratories get the animals from dealers who obtain them from auctions and pounds or they just caught them in the wild. Universities, medical schools, Pharmaceutical companies among other usually provide this service. They argue that even computers are not useful to reproduce the necessary environment but some scientists have demonstrated that there exist some alternatives to animal testing that are very effective.
Animal slaughtering in industries and farms is another common type of abuse against animals. Slaughter is the term used to describe the killing and butchering of animals, usually for food. The most commonly animals killed for food are cows, sheep, pigs, chickens turkeys and ducks. These creatures are slaughtered using the most horrible and painful methods. The methods vary from chemical to electric. In the chemical method the animal is asphyxiated by using carbon dioxide gas. The mechanical method uses a gun to render the animal unconscious or death. Finally the electrical method uses electrical shots which didn’t even ensure the animal is unconscious.
These are only three of a long list of violations to animals’ rights. Unfortunately animals cannot talk and claim their rights even worse protect by themselves, but if they could express their feelings in words what would you think they would say?. We need to take some action and support organizations like PETA, which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, who acts in defense of animal rights. Their slogan is "animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment.". And to stop these abuses they suggest you avoid attending shows where animals are used as a way of entertainment. Buy only products that are not tested in animals. And finally support their campaigns against any kind of animals’ abuses. If we all join together I certainly believe better times will come for animals.
