I got a First in every essay in my penultimate and final year of uni as well as 94% on my dissertation. This was the writing formula I used every single time Warwick Tabula View assignment for SO301 - 10,000 Word Dissertation (SO301, 22/23) Feedback Mark: 94% Grade: 1 Feedback on your s Title: How technolo existing inequali This is a fascinating highlight there is a u minority backgrounds and Black education and ca Introduction You provided a clear and informative introduction to the study. It was great to see reference to key areas of discussion such as digitalisation, artificial intelligence and the notion that we live in a technologically driven world and concerningly there are several significant barriers for Black women as it pertains to accessing education/employment/opportunities - great job! Literature Review Before researching properly, write a one-sentence answer to the question. Then every section has to help prove that. If a source didn't help me answer that overall question? It does not belong in the essay. That's the difference between collecting information and building an argument. Give every paragraph ONE job If you can't explain what a paragraph is doing in one sentence, you don't understand its purpose in your argument Before writing, you literally want: Paragraph 1 proves: Paragraph 2 proves: Paragraph 3 proves: One main point per paragraph. Then every sentence inside that paragraph has to help prove it. If it's interesting but irrelevant? DELETE IT. Your lecturer is not marking how much you know. They're marking how well you answer the question. Stop asking "What does this source say?" Start asking: "What does this source DO for my argument?" Your references should have jobs. One might: SUPPORT your claim. Another might CHALLENGE it. Another might show an EXCEPTION. Another might show an EXCEPTION. Then YOU decide what that means. My mental formula became: CLAIM -> EVIDENCE -> CHALLENGE -> EVALUATE -> REINFORCE Your references should be having a conversation. You are chairing the meeting. Proofread in PASSES, not all at once Trying to fix everything simultaneously is how you read the same paragraph 17 times and somehow still miss the typo. I'd edit like this: PASS 1 - ARGUMENT Have I actually answered the question? PASS 2 - ANALYSIS Where am I describing instead of explaining? PASS 3 - EVIDENCE Does every important claim have support? PASS 4 - STRUCTURE Does every paragraph have one clear purpose? PASS 5 - LANGUAGE Repetition, clunky wording, academic tone. PASS 6 - REFERENCES + PUNCTUATION One job at a time.
