Starting the writing process: A short guide

Stage 1: Get started early

  • Familiarise yourself with your essay titles or assignment briefs at the beginning of term, or as soon as you receive them.
  • Select a few essay titles that you think you may enjoy engaging with, and keep them in mind, especially during lectures, seminar discussions or reading.

Tip: to remind yourself of the essay titles for a module, keep them to hand. You may want to write a few on post-it notes and have them on your desk for example. You may identify relevant arguments, sources and examples whilst reading or studying throughout the term.
