 Re: Essay writing tips?
Tip 1: Lay-out is in order. Use coloured picture as a front printed on thick paper, the rest can be black/white on thinner, cheaper paper. Use a binder to keep it together!
Tip 2: When scientific, make it like this:
Introduction:
What is the field of research? Give hints as what you are going to research, prepare the reader with a few lines what will come. Do NOT give any conclusions. If you like you can indicate who you are and why you have chosen this field in a SEPERATE part.
Body:
Nature of Problem (What is the problem? What type of problem is it, social, economic, etc.)
History of Problem (When did it start? Where? Other cases?)
Solutions (Sumary of solutions with short introduction)
Nature of Solutions, more specific
Conclusion (NOT what solution is best but what your research concluded)
Advice upon Problem (What is best solution to problem and why?)
Calculation: (How much will it cost, how much will it yield? How strong will its effects be? How long will it take? etc.)
Conclusion:
Conclude what happened during your research and how you reached the final stages.
Sources:
Cite ALL sources of information that you used!!! I can't stress this to hard on you, after you used it, write down the name, author, year of publishment, etc of the book, site, movie, essay, whatever you used for it. Teachers have special search engines that will find copied work real fast and fraud is punished severely these days. The Source list should just be a list of sources in alphabetical order.
Tip 2 on sources, if you copy anything directly, write down the source from hence it came underneath that piece of text, picture, etc. This should be done too if the text isn't directly copied but leans heavily on someone else' work.
----------------
Even if your not in High School or Uni or whatever, this will make you look very proffesional.
