Up: Write That Essay! Guidelines
Previous: Seeking and using feedback
As a student, your financial resources are limited, but there are two
items you should seriously consider buying:
- A dictionary should be available relatively
inexpensively. Go for a standard British version, e.g. Collins or
Oxford.
- `Mind the Stop: A brief guide to punctuation' by G.V.
Carey (Penguin paperback, many reprintings) is exactly what its title
says and more. It looks also at some frequent queries about style
and grammar.
Alongside this essay guide, you should also make use of other
learning resources that will be available to you. In particular,
look out for guides to:
- Getting the Best from Reading Lists, which will answer
many questions that you may not realise you have or feel shy about
asking.
- Note-taking for Reading and Lectures, which will expand
on the brief ideas mentioned in this guide.
