How to write an essay with a minimal amount of fuss

The first essay outline for your course has been handed to you and you don't have a clue regarding what to do. Here are some tips on how to write a great essay and save yourself the stress or panic.

The first thing you will need to do is read the essay question carefully. Go through it once or twice and highlight any keywords you may find in there. Once you have done that, think of a way to "deconstruct" or break-down the question into manageable parts. Try and simplify the question. By simplifying what is being asked, you will find that your initial research will become a lot less difficult to conduct. A good way of going about the deconstruction of an essay question is to read it to a friend and see if they comprehend the question in the first place. If it sounds like mumbo-jumbo to them, try and rephrase the question into something a little more understandable.
