what’s the best way to approach an essay prompt that is written as a Statement rather than as question?
I am going to have a test in political science tomorrow and the professor said that the essay will be harder than usual because the prompt will not be in regular question/compare/contrast type. Rather it is going to be like a statement that I need to build on myself. That means no specific instructions, requests, questions, comparisons or anything whatsoever. Have you ever dealt with this before? What do you think is the best way to approach it?
statements contain ideas that are either true or false. State your reasons for either agreeing with the statement or why you don’t.
The statement will most probably be a quote from some famous person. Focus on the key words. The key words or ideas will relate to a particular subject you have studied.
The idea isn’t to trick you but to get you to show that you have thought about the issues raised in class. So focus on the unit materials and you will be okay.
