Okay, when i write essay my teacher always told me to develop it more. So i would like to know what are some of the problems other students encounter in writing their essays,ie, problems with the structure or layout, not enough evidences etc. Anyone like to share yours ?

uh well when i write i dont provide enough details of the evidenc or something.

develop it more usually means to back up your argument more and elaborate on the concepts u have introduced rather than merely mentioning it and moving on

ya go into more depth

 

[peony]

How many point should be mention in one paragraph generally ? three, four or more ?

hmm...the problems with my essays are when I go on Word and when I handwrite them I think differently....its easier for me to type it rather than using a pen? So far my essays are alright with regards to the content (as long as there's a thesaurus handy)...but I follow my own structure for writing them...whatever works for u!

lol, i have the opposite problem, i have to many sources!!!
I love history sooo much that i do heaps of extra readings anbd stuff (note, i do like sooo little for otha subjects!)that ive got way to much information. I can also never write a good conclusion! My intros are good, but i can never finish them well!

use heaps of historiography/footnoting to back you up...then the teacher will be impressed!

I handed my draft in today, and was the only one in my class to do so, haha. I also tend to lack going into more detail and depth, so I tried hard with this one to do so, but I won't know what problems I have yet until I get it back.
