Academic study skills

Students are required to create a study/revision timetable and a reflective statement to indicate its
effectiveness.

INTRODUCTION: (about 10% of the essay)
• Explain how you interpret the title
• What issues/topics are you going to explore?
• What will be your focus?
• What will your essay show?

MAIN BODY (about 80% of the essay)
• Use a chain of paragraphs to EXPLORE AND DEVELOP your
ideas/argument.
• In each paragraph the reader is asking you to explain:
• What is this paragraph about?
• What is your argument on this?
• What is your evidence? What does it mean?
• How does it link to the essay title?
• How does it link to the topic in the next paragraph?

CONCLUSION (about 10% of the essay)
• Do not introduce any NEW material here.
• Summarise your ideas/argument (you might also have done
this in your introduction)
• Restate what you consider to be the main points
• Make it clear why those conclusions are important or
significant.
• In your last sentence: link your conclusions or
recommendations back to the title.

Please bare in mind that I am not a native English speaker. It would be great if you could use easy vocabularies.
