how to achieve 1st class essays

In my second year of my law degree I had achieved a C. But incorporating these key steps I was getting back to back first class essays. Achieving as high as 88%. Here's how you can achieve this. Let's start with formatting your essays. The basic structure for any essay is intro > main body > conclusion. If it's not broke, don't try to fix it. When it comes to for and against essays, if you have multiple points, then it's best to provide these points side by side instead of doing one massive paragraph for your points and then another paragraph for your against points. So all in all, you'll be alternating between for and against points throughout your essay. Link back to essay question and explain why for/against has more merit. Just make sure that the end of each paragraph you link back to the essay question and explain why the more merit worthy evidence supports your points. Now let's break down what your intro and conclusion should look like. A good introduction can be split into three parts. In part one, your introduction should begin with 1-3 brief generic sentences that explore your essay topic, generally. In part two, you should write a few sentences that briefly cover the points in essay. In the final part, you inform the reader of your argument and how it will be explored. In a few seconds, I'll talk you through an example intro, so make sure to bookmark this post. For example, your essay on the impacts on immigration during the pandemic. You can assume your professor knows about the pandemic, so you wouldn't waste time providing history or context. Rather, in part one of your introduction, you should start by talking about the pandemic and the need for drastic protective health measures. Then you go on to say, for example, bordering was used to prohibit immigration. Similarly, the detainment of immigrants under the guise of protection measures resulted in morbid human rights violations. I contend that immigrants were negatively impacted during the pandemic and I will use Odunaiya's theory of xyz to explore this. In a handful of sentences, I have set the pace for the essay. My reader should know what you want to achieve. Catch intrigue and excitement (a hook). Keep it succinct. Cut out irrelevant and over-descriptive info. Every sentence should relate to your essay. Keep it succinct. Cut out irrelevant and over-descriptive info. Also, if the reader is struggling with following the points in your essay, your intro allows them to refer back to the original purpose. Also, if the reader is struggling with following the points in your essay, your intro allows them to refer back to the original purpose. Your conclusion should draw on most pivotal points of your essay that helps you come to your theory/conclusion. It should NOT include any new points that was not previously discussed in your essay. If anything, it should mirror your introduction but provide more depth as you have explored. Use subheadings for your paragraphs! Don't worry, this isn't informal and is often supported by tutors.
