Order Description
Present your argument(s) in a structured manner and make effective use of paragraphs. Support your argument(s) through logic and reference to empirical studies. Every
good essays contains an introduction AND a conclusion.
Content: A good essay shows originality in approaching the question and a deep knowledge of the subject. Be critical – even if your essay title does not specifically
invite critical comment. Remember how to critically evaluate research and use these skills to critically approach your essay questions. Remember to always support your
arguments with relevant evidence.
Sources: Only cite work that has been reported in scientific journals or books. Do not cite work that appears on non-scientific platforms, for example an interview
reported in a magazine. If you want to refer to the arguments presented there then it is better to go to the original source of this research (usually in a journal
article or a book) and cite that work. For a first class essay use material outside the course readings. Remember how to cite and list your references in the correct
form (APA style).
