From panic to plan - How I cracked essay writing at uni

•

Read the question/s slowly.

•

Learn the difference between analysing, comparing, and evaluating

•

Break it down so you know exactly what you’re supposed to do.

•

Only keep stuff that actually answers the question.

•

Jot down quick bullet points instead of rewriting half the textbook.

•

Close the 24 tabs that don’t help

•

Intro – this is where your thesis statement should be

•

Main points – in the order they make the most sense.

•

Conclusion – a neat wrap-up.

•

Dump all your ideas. Make a word cloud, annotate your handouts, etc.

•

Don’t stress about grammar at first.

•

Editing comes later – drafts are meant to be just drafts.

•

Fix structure and flow first.

•

Check evidence and make it sound clear.

•

Do grammar and formatting last.
