ABSTRACT
Essays and problem question answers are not just about the ideas that are contained within them, although they are obviously extremely important. They are also about communicating those ideas and the evidence you have to back up your assertions in an effective and stylish fashion. The way in which you communicate those ideas will make it easier or harder for you to persuade the reader around to your way of thinking. The more gaps you leave in your arguments, and the more clumsy the way in which you express your ideas, the more likely it is that you will lose the reader and the chance to get your point across. This chapter considers the important stage of finishing and polishing your answer before handing it in to be marked and provides some hints to help you make the most of your writing.
