10 rEASONS why
your essays are not getting
distinctions
#writelikeAChamp
?
you did not understand the question / topic.
you did not read the question thoroughly.
it is important to identify what the question is asking of you.
you started too late with the assignment and/or research on the topic.
you are being too
vague and/or deviating
too far from the topic/ question.
Always do exactly what they question asks of you. i.e. when asked to write an opinion on circumcision as a religious right in the Muslim community, don’t write about initiation that includes circumcision in African culture.
Not concise enough.
Don’t say something in 14 words if you can say it in 7.

Sloppy spelling and grammar!
With all the online tools available to check spelling and grammar there is no excuse to have a poorly spelled essay.
Introduction and conclusion are not referring to the question. i.e. your introduction can contain a brief history or statistics on the questions but it means nothing if it does not relate to your question. similarly, in your conclusion you should ensure that you answer the question posed in your introduction.
Structure?
essay structure does not support the logical flow of the argument.
Incorrect referencing.
i.e. your introduction can contain
a brief history or statistics on the questions but it means nothing if
it does not relate to your question. similarly, in your conclusion you should ensure that you answer the question posed in your introduction.
you used secondary references.
instead of looking up the original = plagiarism!
