The surest way of guaranteeing that a student’s essay is well-planned and adheres to a clear argument must be evident in the essay’s introduction and conclusion. The penultimate Write Here, Write Now episode tackles one of the most difficult aspects of written assignments, how to form a strong introduction and conclusion. This episode introduces the topic from the student’s perspective. The student interview enquires what specifically students find challenging about composing introductions and conclusions and invites the student to offer their own opinion on how tutors and lectures can continue to support students’ development in this respect. Adding to this debate, the Write Here, Write Now team interviews a faculty member to highlight what students ought to avoid including in their introductions and conclusions and to specify what ought to be mentioned within an essay’s introduction and conclusion instead.
