Essay ideas is a very vague concept to discuss. This very vagueness is what makes writing essays an interesting journey as you can take your essay on any narrative you desire. However, for the sake of this article, we will be discussing two easy processes to come up with essay ideas; rationalising evidence and succumbing to evidence.

The first process, rationalising evidence is probably the easiest way to come up with ideas. All you have to do is use your own knowledge of the subject and make up a fantasy stance towards it. If you have sufficient knowledge of the subject then it will make the research process much easier. For example, if you are given an assignment to write an essay on the political dimensions of the Covid-19 pandemic you’d probably already have your own knowledge of the subject. Say for example you took a stance that it was not politicised, what you’d do is only use evidence stating so or use excerpts of evidence which you would further extrapolate to plead your case. This way you would not have to revise your original stance and can deliver powerful arguments.

The second process in coming up with essay ideas is succumbing to evidence. This process will take multiple revisions on the essay in general as you might have to change your original stance. Anyway to use this process in coming up with essay ideas what you need to initially establish are the specific elements of a topic you want to discuss. For example, when discussing the politicisation of the Covid-19 pandemic you might want to narrow the topic to elections are discrediting certain political parties. This way you’ll know what data to research. After that, you will have to find the relevant data and from there build your arguments.

Properly reading the question or the assignment guidelines is a massive first step in writing a good essay. These questions usually hold more meaning than first perceived so doing this should be done with great attention. To do this effectively, there are several things that you need to take note of. First, identify the problem in the question. Once you’ve identified the problem you’ll be able to construct your essay and arguments correctly so that they answer the problem. Second, identify the concepts you should use. Some essay questions mention specific concepts or refer to examples that you have to use. Ignoring this will definitely hurt your grades. Third, identify the range of the problem. By identifying the range you will be able to apply a specific focus towards a certain unit of analysis. This will dictate the amount of elements that you will factor into your arguments.

Personally, I hate laboratory practicals. They are by far the most troublesome and stressful types of classes that I have ever come across. However, for those of you who have these classes they are absolutely essential for your grades. This is apparent in the lab report you’ll have to submit on your activities within the class.

The main tip when participating in laboratory practicals is handling the equipment. As university labs are usually supplied with professional grade equipment, special attention must be taken when handling them for several reasons. First, you should make sure to be using them correctly. Knowing the right procedures in handling equipment will allow you to actually finish your lab report so your tutor will have something good to grade. Second, replacing them could decimate your wallet. As they are professional grade equipment, you would probably be unable to afford a replacement if you end up breaking one of them.

Those of you reading this are probably familiar with presentations and the presentations in university are not much different from what you have probably done. However, there are some tips worth mentioning when doing or listening to presentations in university.

First, when doing presentations remember to keep what you deliver concise. This goes for both the writing on your presentation slides and what you verbally communicate. This way your classmates will be able to understand you better without boring them. More importantly, your tutor will be able to follow your line of thinking more clearly. This is especially important as analysis is a huge part of studying overall in uni. If your analysis is delivered inaccurately your grades might suffer as a result.

Second, when listening to presentations you probably don’t need to do anything. You probably won’t need to even listen. As most presentations are beneficial to the presenter, members of the audience don’t need to concern themselves with how other presentations go. All you need to do is to make sure is that you’re respectful of the presenter to let them do what they must.
