No but usually write an essay plan . A few brief word in a linear fashion and develops my arguments from there. A logical structure is very important.
I am doing reasonably well in the essay I submitnow, but I need to increase the the speed to ensure the 60 minmum in every subject.
I have decided to cut the double work out.
But I like simulating the exm type conditions with a pen and paper.
Mind maps might be a good idea . I am considering writing many plans and then just typing them up at the computer. The only problem to get the higher grades demands a fair amount of reflection.
Your comments really helped though, I am viewing things in terms of completing tasks.
I am sure that photoreading other areas and imagestreaming is starting to have some effect, especially the over the wall method.
I may be spending too much time on it though.
Cheers
Chris
