The essay is written for a Maste’s degree student.
The structure of the essay should be as following:
– Introduction: has to be veryyyyy brief just to introduce topic with around 100 words. We write the essay to a professor and should not write it as we present it to a student who is not aware of the topic. (sorry for mentioning it, but before I had some troubles with other writers)
-Discussion part : we present our answer and support it with solid reasons and references.
– conclusion: just put our opinion in a nutshell
Word count must be above 2000 without a reference list.
While stating someone’s opinion it should be as (Bickel, 2007: 230)
the language should be formal and clear. please, proofread it before submitting. Again I had bad experiences regarding this. Professors are checking everything in detail.
