Written work in English studies observes certain conventions in its presentation. The purpose of these conventions is to ensure clarity and to provide the reader with information necessary for following and assessing the writer’s discussion. Their correct use is an important element in an essay, together with critical insight, knowledge of texts and areas of study, and cogency of argument.
Correct spelling and grammar and a readily legible presentation are also essential. Re-read your essay for mistakes in spelling or grammar and for weaknesses in expression. Run a spell check and grammar check, but remember that these often conform to US rather than Australian usage. They are a supplement to, not a substitute for, your own careful editing. Use one side of the paper (A4) only, leaving an adequate margin for comments. Use 12-point font, double spacing or 1.5 spacing for the body of the essay, and single spacing for longer indented quotations
Be sure to observe the word limit for your essay. You can expect your marker to stop reading once the word limit is reached. Quotations from primary texts are not included in the word count, but quotations from secondary sources are included. Do not pad out your essay with quoted material; the relevance of your quotations is a factor in the assessment of your work.
For a presentation to be perfect and successful in fulfilling its objective it is important for the presenter to understand that the process is not limited to speaking alone and involves careful consideration of a variety of other factors that can influence the extent to which an audience is able to benefit from it. However, in order to make a good presentation, we will be well prepared for our talk. Besides, we should make eye contact often with the audience as well as use body language effectively. And we have to always summarize the main points at the end of the talk.
