• Outline your essays: a clear thesis statement and a list of supporting points before you write keeps your argument on track from introduction to conclusion.
• Polish your work: using a checklist for spelling, punctuation and paragraph structure before submitting turns a rough draft into a polished piece.
• Apply corrections to future work: reviewing the comments on graded essays and applying those corrections to your next assignment is one of the fastest ways to improve.
