We’ve reached the last leg. [1] Finally, don’t pad your essay. Write concisely. Write what is relevant to the topic, germane to the issue at hand. And as I said before, avoid the temptation to write the same thing in different ways. Treat every point as a stand-alone one, with its own importance. Check. Does it read well? [2] Above all, don’t panic. I am familiar with that odd feeling rising from the
[1] Set up a time schedule: Find out: How much time do you have for writing the essay? Break it up to set up a schedule to finish the essay writing. If you have an hour, use the first 5-7 minutes for thinking. (a) What will be my topic sentence? (b) What will be the roadmap? (c) What will be my approach to the argument? (d) What will be the counter points? Spend the next 40-45 minutes writing. The last 14 minutes a
[1] The first is the obvious one. Read the instructions carefully. I have always told my students: Losing out because you didn’t read the instructions is nothing short of tragic. Take time off, read instructions carefully, re-check to see if you’ve got them right, and then proceed. Why don’t you do this? For standardized tests like SAT or ACT, visit their websites well before the day of the test and read all
When I say “Essay Writing” I’m thinking of the essays you need to write whatever subject you are pursuing at the moment. Don’t you have to write essays in History? Biology? Geography? Business? Engineering? Right. You also have to write decent essays to clear SAT, ACT, GRE, and when applying for college admission… The point is, “Writing a Good Essay” is a skill we all need to acquire. The point also i
My class was asked to write an essay on judicial activism. They were given time to prepare and in the class they had to write as the teacher watched. I was struck by these thoughts as I went through the essays. [1] The students had not done enough research. Surprising, since doing research is so much easier now. I had to spend hours in the library scanning books or lug them home and study through the night. Now kid
Now for quotes. When you are quoting someone famous, (as against some fictional character) you have no business to take liberties with punctuation marks. You just quote verbatim, period. If the quote is: Workers of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains! you reproduce it with the punctuation marks. Your sentence would be: Rousseau said, “Workers of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but
I wrote to a friend a “treatise” on quotation marks in answer to his query. His question, in the main was, “What is the protocol for placing quotation marks when you have quotes within quotes?” I wrote a paragraph explaining the rules. And it struck me – many others too may have a doubt about this it. So here it is – the rules for placing quotation marks. Quotation (Q) marks shou
Are there regular exams in your college? Are these counted for the final grade? Yes, so become a good test-taker [9]. (a) Find out what to expect in these exams. Look for old copies of test papers. Since each professor has his own style of formatting test papers, ask the Prof about it. How does he/she develop the test paper? Get a handle on the content that will be covered and the type of questions that will be ask
Now the grind: [8] Study, Study, Study. How do you expect to get good grades without studying? Bad news, but there’s not short cut to acing reports. (a) Spend at least three hours outside of class for every hour in it, says the Prof. And for some classes, you’ll find you need a lot more time than that to master the material. (b) Take small breaks while studying. Breaking your studying hours into shorter per
The next one is something I have written pages on: And anyone in my classes will know what I’m talking about. Rule [7] Follow Rules of Good Writing The logic is very simple. You will have plenty of writing assignments, apart from the basic requirement that you have to be adept at note-taking. You will be asked to do short responses, to write longish responses to term papers, and will be required to write elaborat
