Damn. I spent a year getting tutoring for essay writing, I still failed school, and not one person explained how to write an actual paragraph or even get close to explaining anything as practically as you did. Thank you.
I have a research paper due in 9 hours that I’ve just started working on (any other procrastinators here?!?!?) and this video is SO HELPFUL!!! Thank you queen 🙏🏻
Thank you SO much for this, as a dyslexic student who feels like they're constantly drowning with essays this has made the whole process seem so much less daunting! :)

I must say this is the shortest yet most resourceful piece I have found since I started searching for resources that would help me write my dissertation which is like since the beginning of this year, 2023. Thank you so much for putting this together out here,Tam. I would definitely include your video url in my references. You are incredibly brilliant and beautiful.
This was so helpful! Straight to the point and very logical. It would be helpful to see a short example using the paragraph structure :D. Thank you so much Tam.
I am studying secondary teaching in English and Computer Science and while I usually had A’s in my essay, I found this so valuable and will use it in my future essays and debates for the first. Great tips❤
point (topic sentence and what you'll argue, highlight this in first sentence) evidence (1 or 2 quotes from 2 authors, synthesis sources from wide range of academic sources, author A and B argues 'quote,' however (synthesis) author X and Y argued from recent research that X and y) explain 1 (detail and depth, and include relevant course theories) critical analysis (bringing in evidence that contradicts/contrasts first piece of evidence included in this paragraph with other authors and other sources that argue against the first paragraph. allows you tot talk about the limitations and gaps in existing knowledge. then talk about how the evidence contrasts or supports each other. use academic phrase banks to help. be analytical more than descriptive, explain why the evidence why it's significant, how it occurred, why did this happen, why is the author making the argument and why it is relevant) explain 2 (showing nuanced and critical understanding of the field as a whole, tying all the info from beginning of para, made ur point and contrasted arguments and critical analysis with various viewpoints so in this final explanation you're going to show ur aware of everything already out there and tying it to your main point link back (linking it back to the question and making sure it applies to your essay)
THANK YOU! I have an essay due to next week, with very few guidelines and this will helpe me tremendously. It's very hard to go back in school after a long hiatus and working full time.
Hello and many thanks. I do not understand why lecturers and tutors on workshop do not teach us precisely what you taught us on this video. When i asked them, they always say i cant tell you or help. But thanks a lot of for your help. I have two essays each 3000 words in 10 days time. I appreciate it so much. I wish you Happy new year.
I have just discovered you because the thought of setting out my diss paragraphs was so daunting. Currently, I'm writing my diss proposal which is super short but needs to be really detailed, and I came looking for help online as we also have to write a pre lit-review. This video is so helpful and concise, you're a star, I honestly can't wait to watch your other videos. Thank you so much for helping out!
This advice is brilliant! I wish I found this 6 months ago 😭 Would you be able to go into a little bit more detail about what sections you had in your excel sheet? I’m wondering what sections would be advantageous to have
I'm going into my first year and this has made me feel so much more prepared for the work I am going to be doing, I now have pages and pages of notes from this one video hahaha thank you so much Tam!
Your take on PEEL IS AMAZING and I will be using it for my architecture essay. I’m in a break period but I’m going to write my first draft early so that I have that head start .
Thank you so much girl. This is so helpful, I've just got into final year of nursing and was feeling was very anxious about my dissertation but after watching your video I feel so relaxed. I'll sure keeping coming back to this video to remember all the tips
I'm about to just my Master of Science in Computer Science and International Business at Robert Kennedy College / University of Cumbria and I am nervous as hell. I haven't been in school for more than a decade and I've forgotten how to write a critical analysis paper. These tips really helped. Thank you!
Thanks sooo much for the content and value information. I'm in law course, in witch we have to do so many essays and university works. This excel ideia is brilliant!!! ✨💛
I am a writing consultant and you are saying some banger tips in this video! Good writing is all about being clear and demonstrating that you have exercised critical thinking on the topic and can explain it logically. Saved this for myself to remember later. The US has a different system for schooling, but it's still super valuable, and who knows maybe I'll end up across the pond for my graduate level education. 😊
i technically don't even have to present my proposal till my 3rd sem, but i've already picked up a good topic in my 1st. i'm gonna use this for my master's dissertation
I cannot thank you enough, your advice is actually practical and has saved my behind for realll. I'll update when I get the results of my dissertation 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. The information you provided in this video was explained in a way that I could understand and implement easily. I have not written my essay yet, but when I do I will try to remember to update this comment to share my experience and outcome. ❤
One more question at this ungodly hour. I'm a mature student with disabilities living unsupported in a university halls accommodation where even right now I'm being harassed by extremely noisy, younger, male students living directly above. I'm also being tormented by the students within my flat but they're not as bad as the ones in the flat above. I've complained to the manager, the one member staff on site and at my university but nobody is helping me. In fact if anything after my complaints it's only getting worse. I cannot cope. I am 28 years old. These kids are like 18 years or around that age. I deserve better. I have tried with all my might. And no I am not willing to live because I've endured years of moving including estrangement, living in temporary accomodations, horrific social housing and now this. If anybody should be moving it's them. So please if you or anyone reading has any helpful advice to effectively stop this violation of my rights as a paying, isolated, mature and disabled female student residing in these halls, tell me. Thank you, I
Hey there, I am an Academic Consultant, I help out students with assignments essays and Thesis/dissertation. I would love to help you out with your dissertation. Can we connect?
@@anirudhkaushik3643 Ok if you need any help with an academic task, or maybe consultancy about higher education I would love to help you out, can I have your contact info where I can reach you out?
I dont really get the critical analysis part? Are we the one who analyses? Or we find other academic sources that contradicts or shows the weaknesses? How is that not a literature review if we do so? Someone help please :)
What if the essay question asks you to list a lot of things? Let’s say key factors of X, influences of X, ways to deal with X. Would you make one paragraph talking about all key factors/influences/ways for example, following the method, or one paragraph for each one?
How do I love this a million times? Thank you so much, I would have appreciated seeing a paragraph example of the Point, Evidence, Explain........ That's just how my mind works. Otherwise Thank you❤
I am hoping to go to university here in Ireland as a mature student next year for a honours degree in English and history, I am 63 and my biggest fear is Essay writing / academic writing . have no really educational background . left school very early . however I do alot of reading . fiction and non fiction . Although I understand the difference between primary and secondary sources as well as Harvard referencing . not bad for a 63 year old lol but when it comes to actually having to answer a history or English question by writing a 2000 word essay I just seem to have a mental block. I am not sure should I go ahead and do this degree or maybe try a short course beforehand .
this was so useful. thank you so much!!! would it be possible for you to link the excel template that you used for your dissertation? that would be amazing. thank you so much so much ahead!!!
amazing video! so are you saying that you're supposed to highlight the gaps/limitations of the sources raised to support your point when raising counterarguments?
How many words would each of your paragraphs be and and would each of your paragraphs be a completely different point or could you use the same point just with different evidence
Damn. I spent a year getting tutoring for essay writing, I still failed school, and not one person explained how to write an actual paragraph or even get close to explaining anything as practically as you did. Thank you.
I have a research paper due in 9 hours that I’ve just started working on (any other procrastinators here?!?!?) and this video is SO HELPFUL!!! Thank you queen 🙏🏻
