Oh my word, this has solved all of my suffering... I wasn't taught in highschool how to properly write essays or reference. When I started my degree, I had a module on academic writing but they didn’t break it down as simply as you did. Thank you so much 😊
i'm a 2nd year college student who's still struggling with her essays and I truly find this vid helpful. thank you so much! 😩 will watch your other vids as well as those upcoming ones! ✊🏼
@@peakdavidHi, do you read all the research paper before you start writing? I find it difficult to write essays as I read because I just end up paraphrasing everything which also includes citing everything and I end up with no original thoughts in my essay. What do I do?
Yes, I read and take notes on what I read. In the notes I speculate on how the research furthers my thinking and how it can be used. You should read first, write second. The only use for research is to support something you've already said in your own words.
I have attempted to join Facebook group as you have supported me through 2 degrees. I could not access the questions ..my join request will probably be declined..any suggestions please..Australia..
I had to watch this video 3 times. Because I felt guilty for having such knowledge for free, yet our lecturers got paid big sums and did little to nothing on this matter. Thanks a million 🔥🙏🏾
This is by far the best exemplification and explanation on how to write piece by piece the whole essay you are trying to write. Thank you so much for this!
THANK YOU, Thank you, thank you. I agree with the comment below, lecturers get paid and yet you on UA-cam have enlightened me in such a profound way. I have liked, commented and subscribed to show my appreciation in a small way. I no linger have a blank page.
I just started my RN to BSN program and it’s all online classes. It has been frustrating just getting written instructions and not being able to have someone explain the process. Your videos have been very helpful. Thank you
Wow. I took an essay writing course at my university and watched countless videos on UA-cam about how to write essays, but this video alone made the process clearer and more coherent than everything else combined. Thank you so much, David!
I have not felt so enlightened until I saw this video. Thank you for this. As I am back to school after 10 years and there is a lot of academic writing for assessments. I am not very familiar with academic writing and have come out of an entirely different system back home. This is so good.
I have browsed hundreds of videos for learning how to write Introduction Body and Conclusion but never completely apprehend until I watched yours . Exemplary guide for an essay which you made so simple thar every students can grasp it easily and apply it in his her academic journey. Thank you Sir

🌹💙 New Subscriber here! Professor Taylor, I’m a senior citizen returning to college attempting to finish my studies after many years of a lapse. I noticed you mentioned your sources in the body. I have a question regarding this: The sources you showed, is that all that’s needed, or should more complete info regarding sources be listed as footnotes at each page’s bottom, or at the end of the paper-this format only listing the raised number at the mentioned site within the essay? Sorry if this is confusing. Thanks for any guidance. Blessings! 🙏
Thank you Soo much I'm writing my first academic essay for my exams and this video has been an eye opener and super helpful thank you Would recommend you help with a video that teaches how to write an academic essay that citations has already been provided, which only requires you write it again with reference to the citations
This was so helpful! Thank you so much! This was the only content I found that really got down to the nitty gritty of essay writing in super easy to follow formulas! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is going to sound a bit pathetic, but here goes. Until I watched your class, I hadn't fully understood the concept of an essay. Having the formulas is going to prove reassuring for me! Question: would you happen to have in your treasure trove of knowledge, a source with a formula for writing an article? Do articles and essays use similar outlines? Thank you, professor!
Hi, Sarah. Thanks for your comment. Yes, virtually every article type has its formula. You want to know the type of article you are writing and the publication where you hope to publish it. Once, you have those two pieces of info, you can find the formula.
As a person who learns better with formulas this is outstanding, Great work professor! I can now prepare for the academic essay I`m writing end semester. Just a thought though... I'm currently busy with a "Spoken to written mode" assignment. Any tips??
Fantastic video, providing an overview of a formula that I will certainly start using to write my essays and blogs. One thing I'd like to point out, however, is phrases like "in sum" and "in conclusion" -- at least in my collegiate experience -- were always frowned upon. I would often leave them out altogether. The conclusion sentence in the body of David Taylor's example reads just as fine without the clichéd transitional phrase, "In sum."

Someone mentioned that in academic writing, it is not wise to incorporate citations in the introductory paragraph and that I should avoid it altogether.
Be careful with advice that is too sweeping in its generalities. There are many types of academic writing. In some types, citations are expected. For example, look at the intros in almost any peer-reviewed journal article.
After spending more than 20 yrs in schools and university, today I see the secret. Now, I like to write an essay, that was the most boring class in college. Thanks Dr.
Thank yoy david!! The most organized and easiest teaching about academic writting i have seen. I would just like to say, having moved to UK 9 years ago, american instructors always always explains topics better, they are organized, simple and they do not beat around the f bush. Everytime a uk lecturer explains something i have to repeat it in bullet points again (reflecting back in a way) to either the instructor themselves or a colleague. I meet british teachers who explains things very well...but! Very rarely..
I am soo grateful thank I came across this video. It has really cleared up a lot of confusion for me. I now have the confidence to attempt to write my essay.
