New College, Oxford Ï th August } aÏ In tutorials and classes I have found myself repeating the same instructions and scribbling the same comments in the (too narrow) margins of tutorial essays again and again. To save time and ink, I started to write them up. I hope that you, too, ûnd these notes useful, whether you are preparing your ûrst essay f...
You should print your name and the date on any of your essays – and, generally, on most of your documents, except blackmail and denunciation letters. _e pages should be numbered. On some evenings I print out about ten essays. I become very easily confused if most of them have no name or page numbers on them. At the time of writing this, I have ûve ...

Obviously, in the conclusion you should succinctly answer the essay question and leave no doubt what your answer is. From your conclusion one should be able to tell what the question was. Do not conclude with a general claim that supposedly implies...
Of course you cannot provide speciûc references in an exam, but you should do so in your tutorial essays. I will not complain every time they are missing, but I do not think it is asking too much to copy the entry from a bibliography into your ûle. Get clear about who the author is. Do not confuse, for instance, Clarence Irving Lewis with David Lew...
Answer the question and make clear that you are answering the question. If the marker thinks that you are not addressing the question, you will pay a high toll. When you think an overworked and not very astute marker might have lost track of why you are saying something or how it relates to the question, you should repeat your rationale for mention...
By choosing the wrong question, you can spoil everything in an exam. Spend some time thinking about the questions. Some questions can be misleading. A subject, taking one hand from a bucket of icy water and the other from a bucket of warm water, places them simultaneously into a bucket of lukewarm water. She reports that the water feels both warm a...
In the perfect world, you would have worked through all items on the faculty reading list and read a couple of additional books and papers. If you have not read everything, it is useful to obtain an overview by reading some entry in an encyclopedia or in a textbook. Of course, by reading a single paragraph on three- versus four-dimensionalism, you ...
