Student Voice
We often hear students say: “They want us to write a 3,000 word essay. Did you hear me, I said 3,000 words. Where will I find 3,000 words from? I don’t think I will be able to do it. I know that I’m not stupid and they keep saying that we will be okay, but the whole thing is stressing me out, 3,000 words is a lot of words. I can just about write 1,000”.

Should you find yourself in such a position, please get in touch, Study Coach is student centred, we will support you. The book ‘How to Write Essays and Reports (Student Guide)’ will direct students on how to make sense of assignment briefs. Understanding the brief is crucial in order to meet the assessment criteria and achieve a good/excellent mark. There is a skill to writing academic essays and we owe it to ourselves to learn, add to and strengthen these skills as we progress with education. At the completion of a degree the learning journey will continue, students will therefore need to further develop learning skills and engage with continuous professional development.
How to Write a Good Essay
Undergraduate students should aim to understand what is a good essay and how to write a good essay. An essay title should contain an actual or implied question, do bear this in mind if you have to create your own essay title. In order to do well, students must ensure that the whole of the essay is focused on the essay title and students must ensure that all aspects of the essay question asked is addressed. It will therefore be worthwhile to consult with the Student Guide book to help reinforce why it is important to pay close attention to the essay guidelines.
How to Write an Essay Introduction
In the essay introduction you need to explain what the essay is going to do. The essay brief will usually provide a word count guide to help with planning the essay. For example, the guide might say: ‘introduction, approximate 300 words’. Do remember this is a guide, you can write under or over 300 words. The introduction should explain the aim of the assignment, by including a brief explanation of the essay subject and you should outline the contents you intend to cover. The introductory paragraph should explain how you interpret the question, and students should identify issues that they intend to explore in the body of the essay. The introduction should therefore provide a brief outline of how you will deal with each issue identified from analysing the essay learning outcomes and say in which order you will present the issues. The aim is to briefly discuss what the research is about, say why it is important or significant?
