Several Ways To Improve Your Writing Skills

By Amy Norman


Written assignments are the meat of almost every course, and they greatly decide what your grade is going to be. They may be difficult and time-taking but the results you get afterwards are essential both in your academic life and in your future profession regardless the field. Essays are important for instructors to see how well you have assimilated something, to assess your writing style, to understand your abilities to compare and contrast, and also to evaluate your ability to express an opinion and to draw readers to your corner. The grade your instructor will give you really depends on multiple factors. Written assignments vary, and you should be able to write any of them.

Some of the hardest essays to write are those in which you are required to compare and contrast. Though you might think it is easy at first, it really depends on what it is that you must compare and contrast. While it is already complicated to compare tangible objects such as buildings or monuments, comparing something as abstract as a philosophical current or concept is much harder to do.

Comparing something concrete, such as a building or monument, can be hard in itself, but comparing abstract concepts such as philosophical currents, is even more challenging. It is essential that you select certain objects that can be grouped in a certain category away from others. After all, could you possibly find a way to compare something so different as orange juice and rocky mountains? But certainly, this step is not too hard.

At the beginning you may also do a little research on possible essay formats, styles and structures, unless the requirements are set by the tutor. Something of this nature is very important, because it will show your instructor that you are smart, educated, creative, resourceful, and above all, unique in the way you approach a task.

What is also very important about essay writing is proofreading and editing. Since you will probably be tired and blind to mistakes after you have just finished writing the essay, it might be a good idea to wait a while before you go back and assess any possible errors, to make sure you can do so with fresh eyes. Once the process is complete, you can confidently submit your project and rest easy, knowing that you have done your best to promote success.
