9. ‘What I look for’ ► Answer the question, but think about why we’ve asked the question—why is the question (or the answer to the question) important? What do we need to know to answer the question? ► Say in the intro what you will cover, and what you will leave out and why. ► Depth and precision- try to capture the arguments in depth. Show that you understand arguments by explaining them. ► Remember that the question was part of this module, and therefore can be seen in the light of other topics/ readings in the module– you didn’t just study one week, after all. ► Use the lecture as a guide to what might be relevant, but show that you’ve done your own reading by citing authors. Try to use quotations not used in the lecture. ► Conclusions- you needn’t express an opinion, you should draw a conclusion from what you’ve said in the essay- e.g. explain why one or other of the views you have looked at is stronger, and why; say why it’s difficult to decide for one side or another; etc.
