- Welcome to the RGO Library's guide to writing academic essays. This guide presents tips, methods, and strategies for writing a good research paper or essay with a 5 step process:
Develop a topic by understanding the assignment requirements, exploring background information, and forming a working thesis Conduct research using scholarly sources, taking critical notes and reading closely Create a thesis statement and outline of arguments that will form the essay Write the essay and integrate research evidence with properly formatted citations and references Edit, review and revise your thesis, outline, and writing for grammatical errors and common structural and stylistic mistakes Basic Structure & Key Elements of Essays Essay Types: Argumentative, Comparative, Expository & Narrative Types of Writing Assignments (Bow Valley College) An essay is a "short formal piece of writing..dealing with a single subject" ("Essay," 2001). It is typically written to try to persuade the reader using selected research evidence ("Essay," 1997). In general, an academic essay has three parts:
An introduction that gives the reader an idea of what they are about to learn and presents an argument in the form of a thesis statement A body, or middle section, that provides evidence used to prove and persuade the reader to accept the writer's particular point of view A conclusion that summarizes the content and findings of the essay An essay is, generally, a piece of writing that gives the author's own argument, but the definition is vague, overlapping with those of a letter, a paper, an article, a pamphlet, and a short story. Essays have traditionally been sub-classified as formal and informal. Formal essays are characterized by "serious purpose, dignity, logical organization, length," whereas the informal essay is characterized by "the personal element (self-revelation, individual tastes and experiences, confidential manner), humor, graceful style, rambling structure, unconventionality or novelty of theme," etc.[1]
Essays are commonly used as literary criticism, political manifestos, learned arguments, observations of daily life, recollections, and reflections of the author. Almost all modern essays are written in prose, but works in verse have been dubbed essays (e.g., Alexander Pope's An Essay on Criticism and An Essay on Man). While brevity usually defines an essay, voluminous works like John Locke's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding and Thomas Malthus's An Essay on the Principle of Population are counterexamples.
In some countries (e.g., the United States and Canada), essays have become a major part of formal education. Secondary students are taught structured essay formats to improve their writing skills; admission essays are often used by universities in selecting applicants, and in the humanities and social sciences essays are often used as a way of assessing the performance of students during final exams.
The concept of an "essay" has been extended to other media beyond writing. A film essay is a movie that often incorporates documentary filmmaking styles and focuses more on the evolution of a theme or idea. A photographic essay covers a topic with a linked series of photographs that may have accompanying text or captions.
