We will look at the main features of writing essays, and the more detailed features which sometimes get missed but can make all the difference if you don't understand them properly.The course is split into 12 sections, and all of the sections follow the same pattern. First, we'll look at the key points. Then, we'll look at detailed points on each particular section. There'll be practice tasks so you make sure that you've learnt everything to do with essays properly. Finally, in the "Final Points" part of each section, there is an example essay, where you can see for yourself how the principles I teach are clearly demonstrated in a real academic essay.As mentioned above, a key feature of this course is that it teaches you how to build your essay line by line.
