Formal academic essays is a form of writing used for  professional or academic purposes like university assignments. They create an impersonal and objective attitude towards the reader ,and instead emphasize objects, facts and ideas. That is why writing an appropriate essay is crucial for delivering facts about the subject in a clear and understandable way. Here is how to write one:

First, you have to find a suitable tutor to discuss about the required task and topic. Ask them about what you do not understand in the assignment, certain details about it and for a list of resource books and articles related to the matter.

Second, find a quiet place, such as a library, to read the resources you have about the task and take note of all important facts that you might need later for writing your essay. Also, you could make and give out questionaires, conduct surveys and interview people if needed.

Next, make a draft about the content of the essay. Organise the draft and produce a brief outline of the work. Remember to use formal written style, check for language errors and correct them accordingly.

Then, discuss with your group about problematic areas in the first draft, ask for further ideas and suggestions on the subject.

After that, re-read source materials again, this time, include suitable suggestions, check quotations in the next draft.

Finally, you need to do a final review of the draft. Spellcheck for any mistakes, compile your bibliography into the draft and add a title page to your completed essay. Submit your work by deadline.
