Who Is the Book For?
This book was written for a wide intended readership because all Higher Education (HE) students, undergraduate and postgraduate, and even students doing A-levels want to know how to write a good essay and wish to achieve a high grade. Whether you are a student of education, the arts, of one of the humanities or one of the social sciences you will need to write essays, reports and reviews.
Each chapter contains good advice, explanations and examples, and you will be a much more competent and skilful student after reading it. However, if you are desperately short of time, but need to produce an acceptable essay or assignment, then at least read the summary at the end of each chapter and at the end of this introduction. These will give you the most helpful tips, and the most crucial advice to enable you to write a much better if you are impatient to read the main book, and return to the introduction at the end.
This book will help you:
  • To write your first essay or assignment. This might be your first essay ever or your first essay in a new subject.
  • To improve your grades on subsequent essays and assignments.
  • If this is the first time you will be assessed for something other than an essay such as a report, a review or a group presentation.
  • If you do not understand what is going wrong. What does your tutor mean by incorrect referencing, lacks structure, too descriptive, etc.?
  • If you are a student who experiences anxiety about your assignments, especially if there has been a gap in studying. You may worry about producing longer essays at a higher level. It is very common for returning students, who are highly motivated and conscientious, to feel anxious about striving for HE level work. This book will help you.
  • If you are a mature student, or indeed a young student coming via an Access or some other less conventional route, you will also benefit from having your own copy. If you are a highly motivated and conscientious student, you will find this book reassuring.
  • If you are a staff member who is new to marking at this level and who is anxious to grade work fairly and in tune with the assessments of your colleagues. Even some experienced members of staff are secretly puzzled when other colleagues give a lower grade than they have themselves, with comments such as:
