Writing at university – look at these introductions!

Posted in Writing by Patrick

Here’s a joke I heard today which put a smile on my face:

What do you call a man with a rubber toe?

Roberto!

(Say it out loud!)

The best learning resources show you examples of good practice and point out important features which you should incorporate in your own work. The academic writing resources from La Trobe University do exactly this and if you are not familiar with them then you should be!  If you are writing an essay and are wondering exactly how to start your piece of work with an effective introduction then you should be looking at ‘the introduction of an essay’ doc on this page, not to mention all the other stuff here. Bookmark La Trobe because you’ll be back soon. It’s here.
