Essay style and reference guide-

In today’s lecture we discussed and worked on the ways of creating a well written essay. For me I find this very helpful as I have a hard time with writing essays and generally struggle with academic writing. Even simple tips such as the presentation and layout of an essay help me get a better understanding of ways to make a better essay. I also think this is a good reminder as I find myself losing marks over small mistakes so it’s good to remind myself of small details.  We went overusing quotations, second hand or indirect questions, removing or adding text from quotations, footnotes, citations, bibliographies. As well as using the correct footnotes/bibliography depending on the sources such as books, websites, videos, and so on.
