 Essay outlines
Most of the assignments you will have to do are essays, which generally follow
the same basic structure:
Introduction (+ 10% of the assignment) This is where you introduce the
topic and the main points, and briefly explain the purpose of the assignment
and your intended outcome or findings. It is a good idea to write the
introduction last, so that you know what to include.
Discussion (+ 80% of the assignment) This section is divided into a
number of paragraphs. Decide what points you want to discuss and include a
new paragraph for each main point. A paragraph usually starts with a topic
sentence stating the main idea, followed by supporting evidence and
examples. In your outline try and include draft topic sentences and a few ideas
outlining what you want to include in each section.
Conclusion (+ 10% of the assignment) Conclusions briefly restate your
main argument, evaluate your ideas and summarise your conclusions. They
dont introduce any new information.
