So, writing a term paper has its own logic and is conditionally divided into stages with the corresponding sequence of their implementation. Requirements for the content of the course work are indicated in the manual. Considering that the methodological recommendations of different educational institutions differ, before implementing it you need to carefully review them and take them into account. The requirements describe what the nature of the work should be, volume, deadlines and design standards. If you are just gaining experience in writing coursework and have no idea what it should look like, then you can ask the department to show you already completed work in order to better understand what is expected of you, what writing style is used and what it looks like.
