For someone so young you're a brilliant life coach

point (topic sentence and what you'll argue, highlight this in first sentence)
evidence (1 or 2 quotes from 2 authors, synthesis sources from wide range of academic sources, author A and B argues 'quote, ' however (synthesis) author X and Y argued from recent research that X and y)
explain 1 (detail and depth, and include relevant course theories)
critical analysis (bringing in evidence that contradicts/contrasts first piece of evidence included in this paragraph with other authors and other sources that argue against the first paragraph. allows you tot talk about the limitations and gaps in existing knowledge. then talk about how the evidence contrasts or supports each other. use academic phrase banks to help. be analytical more than descriptive, explain why the evidence why it's significant, how it occurred, why did this happen, why is the author making the argument and why it is relevant)
explain 2 (showing nuanced and critical understanding of the field as a whole, tying all the info from beginning of para, made ur point and contrasted arguments and critical analysis with various viewpoints so in this final explanation you're going to show ur aware of everything already out there and tying it to your main point
link back (linking it back to the question and making sure it applies to your essay)

literature review reading:
- have excel spread sheet. look at all existing info out there. have author, date written, title of paper, arguments made in it)
- make sure to write author's intention too, and also identify any biases in gaps and limitations section
- limitations such as if it is outdated or has bias from being from a certain medium or peer-reviewed

‘This is a gold mine’. That’s the thought in my head as come back to this video for the 3rd time.

Damn. I spent a year getting tutoring for essay writing, I still failed school, and not one person explained how to write an actual paragraph or even get close to explaining anything as practically as you did. Thank you.

[Baeomran]

Hello and many thanks. I do not understand why lecturers and tutors on workshop do not teach us precisely what you taught us on this video. When i asked them, they always say i cant tell you or help. But thanks a lot of for your help. I have two essays each 3000 words in 10 days time. I appreciate it so much. I wish you Happy new year.

This was so helpful! Straight to the point and very logical. It would be helpful to see a short example using the paragraph structure :D. Thank you so much Tam.

[bethdonnan]

Thank you SO much for this, as a dyslexic student who feels like they're constantly drowning with essays this has made the whole process seem so much less daunting! :)

[samihakhondoker]

this is golden your literally saving everyones lives here

[queenideas]

I must say this is the shortest yet most resourceful piece I have found since I started searching for resources that would help me write my dissertation which is like since the beginning of this year, 2023.

Thank you so much for putting this together out here, Tam. I would definitely include your video url in my references.

You are incredibly brilliant and beautiful.

[katiemp]

[kendrick]

THANK YOU! I have an essay due to next week, with very few guidelines and this will helpe me tremendously. It's very hard to go back in school after a long hiatus and working full time.

[ericac]

I’ve unknowingly did that in my essays and it always works!

[ananyasharma]

imagine if tam had this youtube channel throughout uni and we got to see all the vlogs!!! and all the guides

[caralhoguy]

The Point Evidence Explain and Critical analysis structure helped me get the highest grade in my first assessment 😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉💯💯💯

[kiapowellvlogs]

I actually love you this just saved my degree 😭 why do they not teach us this at uni

[lv]

Your video is amazing, super detailed and at the same time straight to the point. Thank you!!

[astierangel]

I did this for the first time and it does work! Thank you

[melodybales]

I am a writing consultant and you are saying some banger tips in this video! Good writing is all about being clear and demonstrating that you have exercised critical thinking on the topic and can explain it logically. Saved this for myself to remember later. The US has a different system for schooling, but it's still super valuable, and who knows maybe I'll end up across the pond for my graduate level education. 😊
