Submitting an essay.

March 2026.

This year came in quickly, it was months ago that our lecturer told us about this critical essay, yet before soon enough the due date was up.

I decided to take a proactive approach in planning this essay, mainly because I was bricking it. It was a 3000 word assignment, with the aim of analysing a chosen article. Pretty easy right? But the problem was, was that out our task was only a couple of sentences long, so we did not have much to go on.

However, the support in our university was very helpful and with many visits over the months it became clear what was required of me.

It ended with a reasonable grade (B), which for my first university assessment, I will take happily!

I have learnt that having a plan in place before hand, as well as seeking advice when its required, is key to achieving a good result.
