A QUICK OVERVIEW ON ESSAY WRITING

· In an essay, you are attempting to answer a question .

· In this essay, you will be asking, in general: what does a health care professional do when faced with particular ethical issues and conflicts. You go about answering that question by considering it from a range of perspectives (as set out in the assessment task)

1) Your essay should have:

· an introduction in which you identify the case study you have chosen, outline the essay discussion, briefly specify the main points, and briefly state your proposed recommendations for professional practice

· a body in which you work through the required perspectives in order to answer the essay question. Each paragraph should address one idea only. Keep working through the perspectives until you have considered the ethical issue(s) from all the required perspectives and made some recommendations for professional practice. Remember: all the ideas you use should be supported by reference to the literature/ course material.

· A conclusion in which you bring together your main points and provide an answer to your question. Do not introduce any new material in your conclusion – just sum up the discussion and make a final comment to lend strength to your argument.

· A reference list formulated in accordance with the APA referencing convention (6th

edition). Remember: only include those references you have actually used in your essay (as indicated by in-text citations). Always use credible, peer-reviewed sources – you will lose marks if you use non-peer reviewed sources (e.g. consumer websites, informal blogs etc). A minimum of 10 reference list.

2) Ensure that your name and student number is on each page of the essay, use size 11 font,

double space your essay, and remain within the 2,000 word limit (+/- 10%).
