Essay-Writing: Do Study Manuals Give Relevant Advice?

Mahalski, Pauline A.

Higher Education, v24 n1 p113-32 Jul 1992

A study of the writing of 28 geography students at Otago University (New Zealand) compared aspects of the essays with grading and rater comments. It is concluded that, although study manuals for essay-writing can help some students, their advice may not be useful to all; other methods may be more helpful. (Author/MSE)
