    How many quotes per paragraph?

    yes, around that! Don't worry too much about how long your quote is, as long as it is sufficient to support your point and good enough to have 2-3 techniques.

    How many quotes per paragraph?

    I'd say 4 for a paragraph would be insane, because that wouldn't be a paragraph anymore then..it would be too long. I think two is ideal because it allows room for good analysis and discussion. If you are doing more you are probably sacrificing analysis!

    How many words are your english essays?

    I was a pretty Ok student. I got an external mark of 97 and an internal of 94! My comparatively low internal mark --> I wrote a 600 word belonging essay, and I was told it was too brief (9/15), and that weighed 20%.... bur 1500 is definitely possible, but you need to know your stuff pretty well...

    How many words are your english essays?

    Hi - thesis evaluation

    The text in bold is probably your main focus/ the crux of your thesis. Any other points that you present after that can be probably woven in with your texts in the introduction. This will probably make your introduction more succinct and you will get in done in less time. However, it is a solid...

    belonging comprehension

    basically when I did my HSC I did one section 1 task a day, for 10 days before the exam. It helps because the concepts would be fresh in your memory and also you become very familiar with the techniques and you spot them in no time. However, before I got to this stage, I made sure I was aware of...
