3. Body of Essay

Topic Sentence 1: Developing Essay Writing Skills

Developing effective essay writing skills is the main objective of COM095. Hence, be prepared to learn

about the different elements of a great essay, including structure, paraphrasing, transitions, in-text

citations, proper quotation usage and references, followed by assignments. For example you'll learn how

to write an essay comparing two things, using one side at a time (block) method. The course materials

are light and informative which will help you feel less overwhelmed with deadlines.

Topic Sentence 2: Helpful Support System

Consequently, while meeting assignment deadlines is important, you should know that the lecturer is

supportive and open to granting extensions when necessary. However, this should not be seen as a free

pass to not do the needful on time. To that end, endeavour to submit all assignments and implement

any suggestions made by the lecturer to get a better grade.

Furthermore, based on my own experience, I've found that maintaining organization in writing

assignments is important. If you need clarity on something, ask the lecturer, but always use your own

words and ideas to avoid plagiarism penalties. Moreover, that is the best way to ensure retention of

course materials.

4. Concluding Paragraph

● In conclusion, your success in COM095 rests on how determined you are to get the most out of

the course.
