You might get to college and think, “I have this whole essay thing down pat. I did well in high school.”
Unfortunately, this is often not the case with many students. Taking advanced placement and honors
classes in high school might have taught you the basics, but nothing can prepare you for the scholarly
research that every paper requires in college, no matter the major. Every essay will require some format,
informed research, and a clear thesis. While paper lengths vary drastically per course and major,
humanities courses require a certain amount of content to be deemed sufficient. This article will attempt
to walk you through how to write a successful paper for humanities courses. Even if you do not plan to
major in something humanities-related, most college students must take humanities courses to fulfill
general education requirements.
