How to write a Research Essay
1. Finding, reading and selecting your sources
At a minimum, this essay will reference sources identified by the student, in addition to the subject readings (10-15 references in total). Your references should primarily include academic journals and books. The University library has developed a useful resource on how to evaluate your sources, and can be found in the subject LMS page.
2. Writing the Introduction
In the introduction you will need to do the following things:
Present relevant background to the topic and its significance
Introduce your ‘wicked problem’
Define terms or concepts when necessary
Explain the aim/purpose of the essay
Reveal your plan of organization for the essay
3. Writing the Body
Build your essay around points you want to make (i.e., don't let your sources organize your paper)
Integrate your sources into your discussion
Be critical, and where relevant present two sides of an argument
Give examples where relevant
Summarize, analyse, explain, and evaluate published work rather than merely reporting it
Make sure you have answered the topic question – to what extent do you agree with the statement?
4. Writing the Conclusion
If the argument or point of your paper is complex, you may need to summarize the argument for your reader.
If prior to your conclusion you have not yet explained the significance of your findings or if you are proceeding inductively, use the end of your paper to add your points up, to explain their significance.
Move from a detailed to a general level of consideration that returns the topic to the context provided by the introduction.
5. Revising the Final Draft
Check overall organization: logical flow of introduction, coherence and depth of discussion in body, effectiveness of conclusion.
Paragraph level concerns: topic sentences, sequence of ideas within paragraphs, use of details to support generalizations, summary sentences where necessary, use of transitions within and between paragraphs.
Sentence level concerns: sentence structure, word choices, punctuation, spelling.
