    Very open ended question, what essays do you want help on? There's no one set way of writing an essay in geography.

    Here's what I wrote on the UCD board a few weeks ago.
    Human essays are more or less the same, a few articles (you do know what a journal article is?). Read the abstracts and spout them in the exam. Again, you're question is vague. There is no set way of doing an essay but the main thing is that you have an argument and you back it up with recent research (journal articles). That's it, a introduction, middle and end. Cite material in the text to show you're read and that's it.
