Hints on answering the essay
Remember that all essay titles are asking you to do something – to discuss, assess, compare, etc. Be very careful to ANSWER the question asked, rather than just
writing all you know about a topic without focussing on the particular question set. The structure of your essay is very important to give it clarity. It should have
an introductory paragraph, which introduces the subject and sets out the structure of your essay and how you intend to tackle the subject, the main body of the essay,
and a conclusion. Always allow sufficient time for note taking, drafting and composition: never leave coursework to the last minute. Pay close attention to the
Assessment Criteria for the coursework (set out below) and ensure you do your best to fulfil these requirements.
