What will the person reading your essay or report expect?

There are basic rules that all academics tend to apply when they are assessing the quality of written work. Things they look for are likely to include:

  • Structure

  • Style

  • Arguments

  • Awareness of the literature on the topic

  • References and citations

  • Captioning
