Understanding the essay or report question, what is expected of you, and developing these ideas into an organised structure.
Plan your search for books, journals and other materials, evaluate the information you find and choose the most appropriate sources for your assignment.
Reading efficiently is an important academic skill – understanding, taking notes, finding quotations, and recording your thoughts all help towards your essay structure.
There is a tricky stepping stone between understanding (organisation in your mind) and writing (organisation on paper). If you are clear about the structure of your assignment, the task of writing will become far easier.
What makes an effective introduction, and conclusion? How do you develop your argument into paragraphs and support it with evidence and analysis or criticism? How to write in an academic style?
It’s difficult to write accurately whilst you are thinking. So, when you have constructed paragraphs of your essay, check to see whether they still make sense – and are still structured, accurate, logical and academic. This is the final polish before hand-in.
