In order to complete ESUS 3 and pass the module, the student must complete all assessed coursework and examinations, and achieve a minimum score of 40% in each assessed component. However, please note that the overall grade required in ESUS 3 for PROGRESSION onto most degrees at Lancaster University is 60% and may be higher for some courses.

G – USEFUL TIPS

STRUCTURE:

Your work should be appropriately structured, with a clear introduction, well-organised main body and clear closing paragraph. When you have decided on the ideas you will use in your essay, consider very carefully the most logical order you will present them in. Clear ‘signposting’ should be used to make it easy for your reader to understand where you are and where you are going.

Clear transitional language should lead your reader from one section to the next. The structure of the main body should follow the organisational statement (route map) you offer in your introduction.

ACADEMIC CONTENT:

Remember that you are required to develop each point in an analytical/critical manner: engage your critical analysis and do not simply state facts. Also, the points YOU want to make must be supported with evidence from source materials wherever possible: this is academically researched work, not simple personal observation.

USE OF SOURCE MATERIAL:

Sources should be used to support the points that you make, and should not just be lifted and pasted into your work without paraphrasing, showing a clear connection with your points, or without appropriate acknowledgement. Use the formulae we study in class.
