Essay Writing** is a student guide with a mission: to enable students to write better essays and get the grades they deserve by demystifying the essay-writing process.
MunLing Shields places essay writing within the larger university experience for students. In a clear and easy to understand way the author guides the reader through the process of writing successful university essays by looking at essay writing in the context of academic communication, academic culture and different learning styles and approaches. This book:
- Helps students study more independently and learn more meaningfully to write better essays
- Offers invaluable insights into the way tutors see essays
- Explains why essays are set, and how to understand the rationale behind them
- Demonstrates how best to approach answering the question.
This highly accessible book offers practical, in-depth guidance on each of the stages of the essay writing process - planning, drafting and editing - and relates them to the important sub-skills of information-gathering, reading academic texts, how to get the most out of lectures, referencing and citations, and fluency and appropriateness of style and language.
