Description

This succinct one-stop-shop will guide students through every aspect of their writing journey at university. Whether they are faced with an essay, a problem question, or a piece of reflective writing, this book will help the reader to understand what's required and will show them how to produce efficient and effective writing.

It covers all the core stages of the journey – from searching and evaluating sources, understanding the stylistic conventions of different types of text, making notes and planning, through to actually writing the assignment. Readers will find helpful guidance on how to craft effective introductions, how to write cohesively and coherently; and how to cite sources and avoid plagiarism.

The book features full-length sample essays which contain annotations and discussion. It also includes a chapter on writing in the workplace, which considers areas and issues that senior practitioners have cited as problematic for newly employed members of staff.
