  1. Essays: What your tutor is looking for? • That you really focus on the essay topic and that you don’t get sidetracked or ramble on about things that do not matter • Your tutor is looking for evidence of your knowledgeon the subject and evidence you can apply ideas to a real situation • You must bring in evidence to back-up any points you make and show you have read about the subject. You must reference your evidence • The tutor will want the essay to be well-structured and well-written (good spelling & grammar)

  2. Analyse the essay topic or question Make sure you know exactly what you have to do; look carefully at the question. The tutor has probably framed the question in a particular way • Identify any assumptions or propositions in the question. Take this example: “Why do people resist change at work and what can organisations do to overcome this resistance?”

  3. The question is in two parts. “Why do people resist change at work … Analyse the question and … what can organisations do to overcome this resistance?”

  4. “Why do people resist change at work and what can organisations do to overcome this resistance?” • The first part has an assumption built into it. • Is it true that all people resist change at work? • You would need to address the assumption before you moved to the second part of the question • You might want to think about the word ‘overcome’. Does this have connotations of power and undertones of oppression? • You should also think about the wider implications of the question – Why does resistance to change at work matter? Why should organisations try to overcome it?

  5. Why do people resist change at work… Discuss if it is true that all people resist change at work. If some don’t, why not? Why does it matter for us that people may resist change at work? Describe why people do resist change at work: main reasons. Is it just about individual employees? Can the culture of an organisation contribute to resistance? How do people not happy about change show their resistance? How does the resistance manifest itself? Make sure you back your statements up with evidence properly referenced. andwhat can organisations do to overcome this resistance?” Why should organisations try to overcome employees’ resistance to change? ‘Overcome’? To what extent is the ‘carrot’ as relevant and appropriate as the ‘stick’ in encouraging people to change? Describe the range of things that organisations can do to help employees prepare for and cope with change Give real-life examples wherever possible to illustrate how particular organisations have gone about this process Make sure you back your statements up with evidence properly referenced.
