How to Write an Academic Essay in 10 Minutes or Less

Рет қаралды 114,698

Күн бұрын

Use these paragraph formulas to write your academic essay in 10-minutes or less. Don't stare at the page, trying to write sentences in your head. Instead, pull out these formulas and fill in the blanks. Let the formulas do the heavy lifting.
I've been teaching students to do this for over 20 years. Students don't lack ideas or words. They lack formulas that provide a built-in structure for academic essays.
Let me know what you think!

I just began my college journey at age 53! Although my conversational language is adequate and I send and receive email on a daily basis, I am starting at ground zero as it applies to writing structured papers. Your tutorials are going to be a great resource along my path. Your style of instruction works perfectly for what I need. Thank you.

@@peakdavidHi, do you read all the research paper before you start writing? I find it difficult to write essays as I read because I just end up paraphrasing everything which also includes citing everything and I end up with no original thoughts in my essay. What do I do?

@peakdavid 5 ай бұрын

Yes, I read and take notes on what I read. In the notes I speculate on how the research furthers my thinking and how it can be used. You should read first, write second. The only use for research is to support something you've already said in your own words.

Fantastic video, providing an overview of a formula that I will certainly start using to write my essays and blogs. One thing I'd like to point out, however, is phrases like "in sum" and "in conclusion" -- at least in my collegiate experience -- were always frowned upon. I would often leave them out altogether. The conclusion sentence in the body of David Taylor's example reads just as fine without the clichéd transitional phrase, "In sum."

🌹💙 New Subscriber here! Professor Taylor, I’m a senior citizen returning to college attempting to finish my studies after many years of a lapse. I noticed you mentioned your sources in the body. I have a question regarding this: The sources you showed, is that all that’s needed, or should more complete info regarding sources be listed as footnotes at each page’s bottom, or at the end of the paper-this format only listing the raised number at the mentioned site within the essay? Sorry if this is confusing. Thanks for any guidance. Blessings! 🙏
