The Course Essay:

This is the type of essay you may be given as an assignment during the course of your studies. Like any other essay you are expected to express ideas and arguments in your own words.

Do you remember how to do this? By working through the material that you studied in your lectures and that you covered in research. The challenge will be to present these complex ideas and arguments clearly. To attain the skill you have to adhere to the following principles:

Please remember to give yourself enough time to prepare well for the essay. No last minute jobs. Do the following:

1. Make a detailed plan. This will give you an overview of what you will include in your essay from start to finish.
2. Have a relevant beginning. Refer to the key aspect of the question. Consider your own approach to the question as well
3. Put all stages of your argument together. Give some sign posts that your reader can follow
4. Allocate at least one paragraph each of your ideas. Ascertain that these paragraphs are linked so as to enable the flow of the argument.
5. As you approach the end, critically overview your arguments and make it a point that you round them off. Create this conclusion by summing up your ideas in a balanced manner.
6. Be thorough and comprehensive in its coverage. Make sure that you explain all ideas and theories in detail because you will most probably use this essay in revising for the examination essay which is next reviewed.
