This video will show you how to get good marks for your essays and thesis.
The most common comment I leave on student papers is something like the following:
An introduction section must have 3 things – 1) a sentence or two introducing the problem that the paper will solve, 2) a thesis statement that tells the reader exactly what the conclusion of the paper is, and 3) an essay plan listing the arguments you will make that support your conclusion. In the case of a paper whose main argument is a list of things, like this one, your essay plan doubles as your thesis. Eg: This paper will argue that the most common effects of globalization on developing countries are the following; firstly….., secondly…. thirdly…. etc.
Without a proper introduction, your paper's point is usually difficult to understand, and the mark is usually limited to only a pass I’m afraid.
The most common question I get asked is do I need to deal with counter-arguments?
The answer is, absolutely! If an obvious counter to your argument is not dealt with your argument will not succeed. Often students structure papers as pros and then cons, but this often drains momentum from your argument. Better to have all your main subtitles as your pros, and deal with any counters to them under those subtitles.
Has laoreet percipitur ad. Vide interesset in mei, no his legimus verterem. Et nostrum imperdiet appellantur usu, mnesarchum referrentur id vim.
