How in-depth do essay plans need to be?
I am a first year undergrad currently working on an essay proposal on the Arab Conquests that is due for this Monday coming. The first essay at uni, may I add.
When it comes to how much I know about what I need to do, we were told we needed the following:
- Title
- Plan
- Indicative bibliography
- Has to be done on 1 page
The biggest problem for me is the essay plan. I am extremely pedantic when it comes to this stuff and I don't know how much detail it has to be in. It's getting to a point that I am already over-analysing the sources I read and am adding for and against arguments for each section.
I recognise that this will take forever to do if this is the case, which is why I think I am overthinking it majorly.
That is why I am writing this because I just want some assurance from people who know more about this than me, and also maybe a few pointers to what I should do.
Thank you all in advance!
