WRITING TIPS FOR CRITICAL
ESSAYS
a) It is better not to start your final part with “in
conclusion, ...” The reader already knows about
the purpose of the paragraph so do not repeat
yourself.
b) Introduction verbatim should not be repeated as
well.
c) Use your own knowledge to speculate on the
subject in the conclusion and identify it properly.
