I want to explain a few things about your essay.
First of all, the deadline. The deadline for this essay is October the 18th. Not the 19th, not the 28th, not two days later because your dog was ill or your computer broke – the 18th. If it's late, I won't mark it. I won't even read it – you'll fail the assignment! So, please hand it in on time. You can even hand it in early, if you like!
You can email me the essays at j.hartshorn@lmu.ac.uk. That's H-A-R-T-S-H-O-R-N. I'll reply to say I've got it. If I don't reply within a day, it might mean I didn't get it, so please email me again to make sure. You can also bring a paper copy of the essay to my office, but let's be kind to the trees, OK? Email is better for the trees and for me.
Don't forget that you must reference every idea or quote you use that isn't your own idea. And the last page of your essay should be a list of all the books you used, in alphabetical order, not in the order you used them!
And lastly, make it easy for me to read! That means use a clear font. Arial is best, but Times New Roman is fine too. Not Comic Sans please! Size 12 font for the essay, and size 14 for the titles and subheadings. And use page numbers. Any questions?
I would like to write a essay but I'm not good with the words
It's difficult to hand the essay in on time... hate deadlines
i really do not like writing essay. It`s difficult to find sources for it and some topics are confused me. I also hate referencing. It take a lots of time to refence every quotes and books in alphabetical order.
For me, the most difficult part is developing a strong argument supported by reliable sources. It takes critical thinking and research skills to find credible sources that support my opinions. Sometimes, despite having a convincing argument in my mind, it can be difficult tofind enough relevant sources to back up my arguments, which can lead me to switch to an alternative viewpoint with more accessible supporting sources.
I think , so difficult to write essay it's spelling and vocabulary .
Argumentation, when you need to choose the facts or opinions that best justify what you are defending.
I, find spelling difficult when writing essays.
Everything is difficult for me to writting essay, because I weak in english vocabulary to make a good sentece.
About writing essays I find difficult to have good ideas.
If I have something to tell I can use vocabulry for the words and the sentences construction... but if I haven't ideas...
In fact, writing essays is a difficult task because you need to do a lot of research in order to find out valuable and accurate information and then organize your ideas to make sense.You also need to do proofreading before you email it or make a photocopy of it.
