In a word document i added all the requirement for a good essay according to my prof.
–
Have a good introduction without summarizing the
argument
–
Make it easy to follow for the reader and use a
clear connection to the main idea.
–
Add transitional phrases between point
–
Make direct support from the textual evidence
–
Do not use vague information and lead everything
from the text
–
Show how the chapters are
related. What is he trying to teach us in each of the sections. Use another
parts for support
–
Good discussion about
these chapter, no repeating, comparative analysis, similarities and
differences. Talk about differences or similarities. Why are they different or
why are they similar?
–
Show what changed overt
the course of the text, no summary of a chapter, look for differences and say
why, and if they are different which one am I supposed to believe? Which one is
the teaching?
–
Talk about the 1st chapter
and focus on that one, then on the 2nd chapter and focus and what are the
differences between them 2 and what is the actual teaching in the book:
–
–
Talk about for ex how the
argument has progressed, see how machiavelli changes the particular concept,
ultimate point: a convincing argument of what is he teaching, and arguments and
examples from the test why I believe that.
–
Be super focus on the book
and book only.
–
Answer all the parts from
the paper: look at the 2 chapters that have differences, explain them, and show
examples and give your impression with evidence for the book.
–
Create a chronological,
add however, and then, etc. direct the attention of the leader to follow that
particular part. Say where the paper is going everywhere. Stay on task . Keep
the intro basic but specify what is the paper about and where is it taking us.
Connect the discussions.
–
–
Do not summarise the 2
chapters
–
–
A summary tries to say
everything, a description a focused account of what is important, picks the
elements that the reader needs to know cause you will build your argument on
them.
–
For ex: soc says that
philosophy is mainly so somewhere at the beginning of the paper establish them.
Lay down a few pieces of arguments in the beginning and later explain them.
–
–
Explain what are the
crucial arguments on each of the chapters.1 st section here are the crucial and
2nd the same. Make your argument your own.
–
Ask yourself what is
important, what are the main arguments in the 1st section and do the same for
2nd chapter. You can quote directly a
few words and integrate in your own words after. Not too many times. 2-3 times
max
–
Do not leave the paper
unsupported without evidence
