Learning how to write an essay is a skill; it is not necessarily something that you can just sit down and do, although many believe that you can. It is okay to find writing and especially writing assignments difficult.

Ask yourself the following questions:

Is knowing where to start your essay assignment difficult?
Do you know what you want to write but you don’t know how to structure it?
Is planning an essay hard for you?
Would you like to explore different elements of writing?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, the Skills Centre session on How to Write an Essay is for you.

You will find a step-by-step exploration of everything you need to know about essay writing, including the three main parts of the essay structure: introduction, main body, and conclusion. This session will give you the confidence and clarity you need to improve your essay writing skills.
