Essay Writing - Margaret Cake
I have been taking college courses for 22 years. I have taken more than 100 liberal arts classes and have written about twice as many essays. Yes, that is weird, but the fact remains that after almost three undergraduate university degrees (I’m just about finished my third), I know how to put together an A+ essay.
In the early days, I did fail, and quite miserably. I didn’t do well in high school, and my poor study habits resulted in bad grades during my first few years of college. But over time, I figured out how to write a solid essay – and to do it every time. I know what makes a professor happy; and I know where they’ll give points or take them away.
It’s not just dazzling content that will impress your professors. You must also pay attention to form. If you’re serious about becoming a B or an A-range student, I can get you started.
You can get good grades
If you are willing to follow my instructions and put in the effort, you will be able to achieve decent grades and you will steadily improve with each essay you write.
Remember: this book is about more than just the content of your essay. It’s also about the presentation, your work ethic, and how to make a favourable impression on your professor from the get-go.
