Appx. B Pgs. A13-22 Summary

By reading the information on writing effective essay examinations it helped me better understand how to write an essay exam paper. Writing an essay examination paper is very different from your normal paper. When writing these types of papers you have to rely on your memory and you have a limited amount of time to write it down. You also cannot get feedback from your peers or your teacher and a majority of the time you do not have time to do a revision. In order to be able to write an effective essay examination paper you will have to be able to understand the information it is covering and be able to relate it to something else you have read or discussed in class. To get ready for this type of paper you should take notes in class and on the chapters you read in the book. When you first get the topic you should write down all the main ideas that you can think of and organize them. Then you will be given a time limit to write the paper. When writing the paper you should just relax and write it like you would write any other paper.
