1. On-line filling of the Synopsis Form on Amizone
After online term Paper registration and approval by the project co-coordinator, each student is required to duly fill in the synopsis form
available on Amizone.
2. Submission of the Synopsis report by e-mail/in-person to respective guides
After filling the synopsis form, a synopsis report of 3-4 pages must reach allocated internal guide either by e-mail or handed over in person.

Regular reporting to internal guide Twice a week is mandatory (Total WPR 04).
Students, please note that this will be important criteria for internal evaluation process as well. Meeting with guide online or offline (as per suitable
conditions) will be the criteria for the eligibility of the final evaluation. The final Report submission should be according to University
Guidelines inclusive of Plagiarism Percentage less than 15%.

Allocation of Faculty Guide

Each student shall be assigned a faculty guide for all NTCC courses including term paper well in advance in a formal manner depending on the number
of students per faculty member, the available specialization among the faculty guides.

General Guidelines
A term (or research) paper is primarily a record of intelligent reading in several sources on a particular subject. The students will choose the topic at the
beginning of the session in consultation with the faculty assigned. The progress of the paper will be monitored regularly by the faculty. At the end of the
 `

semester the detailed paper on the topic will be submitted to the faculty assigned. The evaluation will be done by Board of examiners comprising of the
faculties.

The procedure for writing a term paper may consist of the following steps:

1. Choosing a subject
2. Finding sources of materials
3. Collecting the notes
4. Outlining the paper
5. Writing the first draft
6. Editing & preparing the final paper

1. Choosing a Subject
The subject chosen should not be too general and relevant to the curriculum .

2. Finding Sources of materials

a) The material sources should be not more than 10 years old unless the nature of the paper is such that it involves examining older writings from a
historical point of view.
b) Begin by making a list of subject-headings under which you might expect the subject to be listed.
c) The sources could be books and magazine articles, news stories, periodicals, scientific journals etc.

3. Collecting the notes

Skim through sources, locating the useful material, then make good notes of it, including quotes and information for footnotes.
a) Get facts, not just opinions. Compare the facts with author's conclusion.
b) In research studies, notice the methods and procedures, results & conclusions.
c) Check cross references.

4. Outlining the paper

a) Review notes to find main sub-divisions of the subject.
b) Sort the collected material again under each main division to find sub-sections for outline so that it begins to look more coherent and takes on a
definite structure. If it does not, try going back and sorting again for main divisions, to see if another general pattern is possible.

5. Writing the first draft

Write the paper around the outline, being sure that you indicate in the first part of the paper what its purpose is. You may follow the following:
 `

a) Statement of purpose
b) Main body of the paper
c) Statement of summary and conclusion

Avoid short, bumpy sentences and long straggling sentences with more than one main idea.

6. Editing & Preparing the final Paper

a) Before writing a term paper, you should ensure you have a question which you attempt to answer in your paper. This question should be kept in mind
throughout the paper. Include only information/ details/ analyses of relevance to the question at hand. Sometimes, the relevance of a particular section
may be clear to you but not to your readers. To avoid this, ensure you briefly explain the relevance of every section.
b) Read the paper to ensure that the language is not awkward, and that it "flows" properly.
c) Check for proper spelling, phrasing and sentence construction.
d) Check for proper form on footnotes, quotes, and punctuation.
e) Check to see that quotations serve one of the following purposes:
(i) Show evidence of what an author has said.
(ii) Avoid misrepresentation through restatement.
(iii) Save unnecessary writing when ideas have been well expressed by the original author.
f) Check for proper form on tables and graphs. Be certain that any table or graph is self-explanatory.

Contents
Term papers should be composed of the following sections:
1) Title page
2) Table of contents
3) Introduction
4) Review
5) Discussion & Conclusion
6) References and Bibliography
7) Appendix

Generally, the introduction, discussion, conclusion and bibliography part should account for a third of the paper and the review part should be two thirds
of the paper.
 `

Discussion
The discussion section either follows the results or may alternatively be integrated in the results section. The section should consist of a discussion of
the results of the study focusing on the question posed in the research paper.

Conclusion
The conclusion is often thought of as the easiest part of the paper but should by no means be disregarded. There are a number of key components which
should not be omitted. These include:

a) Summary of question posed

b) Summary of findings
c) Summary of main limitations of the study at hand
d) Details of possibilities for related future work

References and Bibliography

(Please see last section: “How to write reference)

Appendix
The appendix should be used for data collected (e.g. questionnaires, transcripts ...) and for tables and graphs not included in the main text due to their
subsidiary nature or to space constraints in the main text.
