Abstract

This article suggests that a major factor in students' struggle with style and structure in essays in Humanities and Social Science subjects is their misunderstanding of the central assumptions and conventions held by their lecturers about essay writing. It illustrates some of the central issues lying behind this misunderstanding by analysing work done in the Learning Skills Centre at Charles Sturt University (Riverina).
