    I am repeating an assignment and have to write a 1000 word essay on semi-structured interviews and how they are good for disertation research.

    I was told that my previous attemp was poorly written, poorly referenced and not written in the third person which leads me to believe I am not good at this stuff. The lecturer advised that I have someone proof read it for structural criticism but I dont know anyone who is a lecturer or would know what to look for.

    Can anyone help me out?

    Regards

    I don't know much about the subject but I have proof-read essays on a range of subjects that I do not know much about and offered advice on structure and grammar. If you want to PM me I will have a look at it.

    Sure, fire it up to me in a PM and I will give a once over and hammer you with corrections based on your ideas. I might even give you links and examples of good practice. If it is really bad though then be prepared to be insulted though.

    It is a learning process a thousand words is light to be honest, it shouldn't be to hard to weed out bad habits from what your lecturer has mentioned. A thousand words sounds like an introduction to be honest.

    Fire away chap in a PM and I will proof read and correct where I can.
