Essay Writing
A Student's Guide

Additional resources:


February 2010 | 240 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
Essay Writing is a student guide with a mission: to enable students to write better essays and get the grades they deserve by demystifying the essay-writing process.

MunLing Shields places essay writing within the larger university experience for students. In a clear and easy to understand way the author guides the reader through the process of writing successful university essays by looking at essay writing in the context of academic communication, academic culture and different learning styles and approaches. This book:

  • Helps students study more independently and learn more meaningfully to write better essays
  • Offers invaluable insights into the way tutors see essays
  • Explains why essays are set, and how to understand the rationale behind them
  • Demonstrates how best to approach answering the question.

This highly accessible book offers practical, in-depth guidance on each of the stages of the essay writing process - planning, drafting and editing - and relates them to the important sub-skills of information-gathering, reading academic texts, how to get the most out of lectures, referencing and citations, and fluency and appropriateness of style and language.

We will be recommending this books to all new students for the coming academic year. Particularly useful are the chapters on introduction and conclusion and the body of the essay. Students find essay writing really daunting especially those who are returning to study after a long break and this book will help them to understand what they need to do.
