"universities are a very strange branch of the entertainment industry" that's some good shit

A guide on how to write a good essay would be soo useful! I often get so lost trying to articulate my ideas concisely and getting lost in the details of questions even when I’ve done lots of extra reading. I also think I try to include too much information to have a holistic argument ( not missing key ideas) and struggle to highlight the key parts.

Thank you so much for this video. Although, I am still an 8th grader I have found countless valuable insights in this video that will , without a doubt help me in my journey in the field of English literature and essay writing. I especially appreciated the part of the video regarding the importance of planning, as I am currently navigating my way through planning an essay on the cause and effects of the American colonists leaving England.

I wholeheartedly agree with the point about adding in your own perspective/making your own argument. Unfortunately at my school I'm always told to remove this element from my essays and am encouraged to sound as passive as possible. It's quite a relief to know that this isn't the process everywhere!

legend. I started watching your videos in year 12 and now I'm watching this in my first term of Cambridge! thank you because your videos have helped so much for getting into oxbridge and demystifying the whole process

I was so immersed in the video and even though its 11 mins it feels like only 2 mins! thank you so much for the useful tips! Love to learn from you!

You are so brilliant and helpful. Thank you so much for your videos and their valuable content.

Thank you Matt, I love writing essays. Can't wait to hear more.

I absolutely love your videos Matt! Inspires me to write an essay, even though I've graduated and no longer need to! The best teacher ever in my book...helped me immensely. Thank you.

Really interesting! I'm looking forward to the following videos on essay structure, etc.

valuable information, I’ll try to apply this advice in my coming essays, thank you!

Perfectly timed - thank you so much!

This is really great, I just had a failed essay now I know why and what to do better.

love your videos!!

I learned a lot in this video thank you so much

Another very useful video!

That was so helpful, thanks for that. One question, what makes a good conclusion? I always make the mistake of just summarising my main points. 🤔🤔

What makes a good dissertation next. Then what makes a good efficient literature review. Comparing Undergrad level, Masters level, PhD level, staff level, then professional/dean level. This seems obvious to the expert reader but not for most students which is probably the main demographic of this channel's viewers. It also helps ease and accelerate the transition

I love you with all my heart. You're awesome

Great content

The last bye😂

Hello professor. I know this is quite late after the video has been posted, but I was curious, if a student wrote a good, detailed and well-researched essay but they often went off topic more-or-less (e.g linking to less relevant things) would that significantly lower their mark? I've frequently struggled with editing my essays and cutting down less relevant chunks as I feel all parts of my essay have some thought processes of varying importance that I'd like to keep but this often results in my essays feeling clunky and quite messy. If you had any tips for this I would be grateful if you could share them. Thank you for these videos, they're not only instructive but enjoyable to watch and, as always, have a lovely day.

What how should I link an essay like an expert? My test is in 2 days and I need help. (Oxford academy)

This may be beyond the point of the video, but would the autocrat remain an autocrat if they were to grant power to the electorate?

You got this, chatgpt?
