Question
I haven't written an essay before (or for a very
long time!) and I'm not sure what is required.
Answer
Some of the early tasks that you undertake during your
studies will seem quite daunting and you may feel that
you don't know where to begin with your assignment.
It is recommended that you read the question (or assignment
task) a number of times so that you fully understand
the question. Please remember that no one expects you
or your research to answer all of the world's problems
- you are only expected to read, understand and provide
an analysis or argument that satisfies the criteria
of the question at hand. It is also important to remember
that all university students and staff are here for
the same reason - to learn.
Should you require some specialist advice and instruction
concerning essay writing and seminar presentation skills,
please contact the University's Learning Resource Centre
at the Wollongong campus (Bldg 19 Room G102). You can
visit or call the Centre (02-4221-3977) during normal
business hours for assistance with your studies. Their
website is at http://www.uow.edu.au/student/services/ld/index.html
The Coordinators at the Access Centre are also there
to assist with your study-related problems and concerns
and to point you in the right direction for assistance
from a variety of University services and facilities.
