WritingGoodHistoryPaper. Reading, Writing, and Researching for History: – A Guide for College Students by Patrick Rael, Bowdoin College. For all who have taken history courses in college, the experience of writing a research paper is etched indelibly in memory: late nights before the paper is due, sitting in pale light in front of a computer monitor or typewriter, a huge stack of books (most of them all-too-recently acquired) propped next to the desk, drinking endless cups of coffee or bottles of Jolt cola.

Reading, Writing, and Researching for History: – A Guide for College Students by Patrick Rael, Bowdoin College

Writing is time-consuming. It’s a great way to pass the time on a long airplane flight because you lose track of the passage of time altogether.
