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
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
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
[6] The next tip is something that has been a bugbear for all of us: Use the Textbook. I am with you in all the reasons why we hate textbooks. For fifteen tender years we were forced to carry them on our backs like pack horses. We had to read pages we had no interest in. In direct contrast to what we were reading for pleasure, these tomes had language that did not hold our interest. We were asked questions from pre
Now let’s move to suggestion #5. Get to be “Notable”. Attend classes so you can record class notes. Friends might help a bit, but they may do what you are doing – staying away. This is a DIY project! Class notes are vital clues to what the professor thinks is the most important material for you to learn. Teachers the world over are pleased to see students quoting what they said in class. This is proof you
[4] The next one is obvious but worth repeating. Use Time Wisely. So you are the most organized person? Thinks procrastinating is a cognizable offence? Fine. But time is finite. And there’s a huge demand on this scarce resource in college. Here are some tips for using time wisely: (a) Take on and finish the harder tasks first. Once it is done and behind you, you are sure to have enough time to finish the easier t
