    Really enjoyed this video Gareth! Would it be possible to upload some videos of commenting on different first class essays, i know there is a link in the description but perhaps you could compare it with a 2:1 and 2:2 essay in a video?

    But I'll like to know what do to or how to pressnt your argument or essay when you forget some important cases, the cases' names and other supporting evidence

    • @heygarethevans
      @heygarethevans  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Giving the specific name of a case isn't that important. If you can say something like 'this is supported by a case, which found...' then the examiner isn't going to mark you down for that.
      If you're really struggling to think of supporting evidence, at least try to share your opinion and not sit on the fence

  • @tashamorriss8997
    @tashamorriss8997 Před 7 měsíci +1

    This may not work for timed essay writing in an exam, where you must reference as well. We do not get our exam question beforehand, just some readings.

    • @heygarethevans
      @heygarethevans  Před 5 měsíci

      Yeah agreed, this is largely for non-timed essay writing - thanks for the clarification

  • @H428
    @H428 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Hi Gareth hope you're doing well, this has really provided an insight into general essay writing, but just had a question regarding timed essays. How would you incorporate what is discussed in the video? What would be the changes to ensure that the quality of the essay does not deteriorate?

    • @heygarethevans
      @heygarethevans  Před 5 měsíci +1

      When doing timed essays, 80% of the results come from understanding the question + the planning. So spend 5 minutes breaking down the question so you know EXACTLY what it says and to ensure you actually answer the question - this is really where most people go wrong for timed essays and 2) create a coherent plan that answers the question, which should only be 3 or 4 points. The only real difference between this and a timed essay is that the research should already be in your head or clearly layed out in front of you (if an open book exam). Is there a particular part of the process you struggle with?

    Hi.
    I am on your website (digestible notes) and can't see administrative law. I also can't see judicial review case.
    Also, I can't see public law.
    I really need judicial review anf administrative law as I am taking the bar this year in Mauritius. Our legal system is a hybrid between English and French law. How adminiatrative law is fully English and derives its sources fro exactly the same cases as England; the GCHQ case, Wednesbury unreasonableness, Anderson v Liversidge.
    I thus really need your website.
    Believe me: you've been extremely helpful.
    PS: All of what I've just said is also 100% applicable to the law of evidence, which I also cannot find.

    • @heygarethevans

      @kiranthind9516 Před 3 měsíci +1

      I think you will find many people who go into law are required to be orally articulate and coherent. I fail to see how being well spoken is relevant in the slightest to someone putting on a fake voice. This is entirely your own very much distorted opinion.
