Coursework Difficulty & International Relations Essays

Bookmark and Share

Friday, October 4, 2013

Students oftentimes complain about the difficulty of courseworks. Next to this pattern is attempting to ‘cheat the system’ via copying an online essay, or another mate’s work. What they don’t realise is that these schemes are short term.

Short term meant that they may only enjoy the merits of their schemes at smaller durations – today, tomorrow, but never for too long. They may watch films after their scheming sessions, or party and booze.

But what’s worse with this short-term fling is the lost opportunity. They will not be able to shape themselves the way they can with that specific coursework. And though there may be more courseworks to come, the costs of such opportunity will eventually arrive, unnoticed. Moreover, it will not only cost their learning, but also their capability to perform work well in their future career. Zooming forward, though schemes may make marks, they don’t make for all marks.

Hence, as is recommended, students should always, always look forward to actually making their courseworks. And if its difficulty they detest, then they can scheme – against the root of such difficulty. Using international relations essays for illustration purposes, below are specific measures to analyse and solve coursework difficulty:

A. Research

Conducting research could be difficult because...

a) Topic is rare and so are sources
b) Poor in-school facilities
c) No internet connection

Well, this entire three is excuses. For one, international relations are a well-studied field; hence its sources are outstanding. Evidently, the root of the research issue, in the context of international relations essays (and other courseworks, too), is students’ reluctance to be more.

“More” meant creativity; if students had more of that, they will be able to discover more sources of sources. Instead, students’ creativity only went up to the extent of inventing excuses.

B. Nature of Topic

Indeed, it is difficult to indulge on every topic placed in students’ plate. As much as variety addresses routine, it also tips students’ equilibrium. For instance, the known heart of international relations essays is cross-disciplines. That meant that students have a lot of mental-multitasking to do, from studying public policy to culture, to any other.

The root of this dilemma is not the nature itself, but the willingness of students to take conscious effort in working each component, up to its mother field.
Students shouldn’t be too hard on courseworks difficulty; at the end, no difficulty, no added skill.

What is an essay?

An essay is generally a short piece of writing written from an author's personal point of view, but the definition is vague, overlapping with those of an article and a short story.

Essays can consist of a number of elements, including: literary criticism, political manifestos, learned arguments, observations of daily life, recollections, and reflections of the author. [wikipedia.org]
