@abeacodes: Save this for later! I went from getting 2:2s in my first term of First year to getting a First in every essay in my penultimate and final year + 94% on my dissertation wasn’t because I suddenly became naturally good at academic writing 😭 Reference your claims. Make an argument instead of just describing the literature. Use evidence. Evaluate it. Challenge it. Link everything back to the question. THEN worry about making it sound academic. And very on brand for me: the essay I used as an example in these slides was literally about inequality in education 😂 - years later, I’m still talking about who gets to access education, who gets left behind, and why. I have so many more things I used to do to get Firsts, so I might turn this into a series. What should I break down next: essay planning, introductions, critical analysis, referencing or dissertations? 👀 #UniversityTips #EssayWriting #firstclassdegree #AcademicWriting #academicweapon

when you reference that often did it not absolutely eat your word count?

and unfortunately, save every single draft of your work because academics have become suspicious of peel and other standard academic writing techniques.

Highest I got on a written piece in first year was 68 😖 I’m too descriptive and I really do struggle with critical thinking/analysis. I need to up my game in second year but it’s hard

PEEL PEAL PETAL etc. are all taught for GCSE writing, but for some reason students fail to grasp this structure! Well done to you!

This might be stupid but do u directly quote what you’re referencing or do u explain it in your own words and then reference ?

Also you don’t need to read the whole book! You need to scan the text for a point that backs your argument. I did not read one book cover to cover. I got a 1st in my disso & overall 1st class 🥰

I don’t get what you mean when you say don’t say ‘X says this…’ but instead make a claim providing evidence, isn’t that the evidence?

I worked in legal compliance for years and this is a tried and true formula in how we write. It can further be narrowed down to Point, Illustration, Application. Works everytime.

You’ve essentially outlined how straightforward it is to do well in higher education and I’m here for it 🙌 🔥 thank you and congrats on your achievements!! 😌 I’m about to embark on stage 2 of my degree (Philosophy and Music, third year as I’m part-time) and although I gained grades above 80 at Level 1, those grades don’t count towards my overall classification so that was practice hahah ✨ I’m ready to get my PEEL/PEEE on big-time! 😂

but thats a whole paragraph of just source references. do you not get penalised for basically having the majority of your work just be references? what's the ratio allowed? I assumed you need to write majority of your own work, then use references every now and then to back it up
