Almost every course requires students to do papers and projects. Professors specify their requirements in the syllabus.  Some common requirements are:

1)      Required format, pages, space, and font size

2)      Do not make grammatical and spelling mistakes

3)      Pay attention to the proper quotation

4)      Hand in the paper on time

5)      Ability to find resources from database

Some common types of paper and projects are listed as follows:

1)      Anotated bibliography: It includes a summary and/or evaluation of each resource (books, journals, websites, periodic, etc.) you find.

2)      Research paper: It will take a lot of time to do a research paper and there are also strict standards. 

3)      Case analysis: You should read a given case first. Then answer some questions based on your understanding of the case. 

4)      Financial analysis: In some finance courses, in order to help students learn about current events, Professors require students to do a project based entirely on the “real world”.  You should provide a specific analysis about the market with charts or graphs.

Note: There is a writing lab at Rider, which provides students assistance with their papers. After you finish your draft, you could make an appointment with them to revise your work.
