Many young people the world over from Sydney, Australia to Stamford CT, USA, dream of going to college and earning a degree. Not all students are prepared for the hard work and essay writing. Some need to get some college essay assistance either from other students, academic professionals and essay purchasing website.
This final option is best avoided as purchasing essays online is plagiarism, or theft of intellectual property. At best, plagiarism will get your essay returned, with a huge F scrawled across the front. At worst, exclusion from college or even prosecution. Plagiarism is not however just buying an essay online, it includes copying and pasting ideas without crediting the original author, or presenting someone else's ideas as your own.
Don't worry, you can use the other scholar's ideas and quote websites and television documentaries. If using someone's theories or interpretations it is essential to reference them. Referencing is difficult and all students hate it, but it is key to being able to prove your quoted information. There are various ways of referencing such ideas. You can use direct quotations ("Nero killed his mother"), or through paraphrasing (It is said Nero killed his mother). Following either of these a reference needs to be inserted, either in the text or as a footnote or endnote (author date: page). This can be a real pain in the butt but people need to know where you got your information.
So now we can forget about plagiarism and referencing and get to the interesting part of the essay, the research. This is difficult, complex but can be fascinating. Sadly you have to read three times as much as you need for every essay. Chasing references is fun. If one text provides some referenced information you can follow this original source and analyse this yourself. Perhaps you will interpret the information differently to other authors. If you do you have the basis for the argument of your essay.
If you disagree with a well-established argument, or in an academic debate favour one argument over another, it is essential that you explain why. It is not enough to simply say "I do not agree with". It is essential to show the evidence supporting your opinion or the evidence debunking another argument. For every sweeping sentence (all women are good cooks) it is essential to be able to prove it, and reference it.
Arguing well makes for an A* grade. But only if you answer the question asked, not the question you want to answer. This may seem pointless to explain but it is too easy to get side-tracked from the question in hand.
Once you have answered the question, written an introduction, argument and conclusion you are nearly ready to hand the essay in. All you need now is the bibliography; a list of all books, websites and articles referenced in the essay. This is NOT a list of everything you read for the essay. At least a third of the stuff will not have been relevant. Remember you must check school style guides to see how to layout references and the bibliography.
Before handing your college essay in, on time, it is most important to proofread the text. It is vital that you leave enough time to do this as a mis-spelled, or badly edited essay will obviously affect the mark you receive. Good luck!
