What these samples are
These are model answers written by our own mentors, not student
submissions. Nobody’s coursework has been published here, and no university
awarded a mark for any document in this library.
That distinction matters for two reasons. The first is ethical: a sample library
built out of real students’ submitted work puts those students at risk,
however carefully it is anonymised, and we are not willing to do it. The second is
pedagogical. Because our mentors wrote these documents deliberately, as teaching
objects, each one can be built to demonstrate a specific set of skills —
mechanism-writing, comparative evaluation, handling a limitation — rather
than whatever a particular student happened to do well.
Each document is written to UK conventions: UK spelling, UK referencing (Harvard
author–date throughout the current set), an abstract where the assessment
brief would expect one, numbered sections, and a reference list in which every
source is actually cited somewhere in the argument.
Why they are annotated
A clean sample document, on its own, teaches surprisingly little. Students read a
well-written assignment, recognise that it is good, and cannot say what made it
good — so they copy its surface features. Longer sentences. More citations. A
heavier vocabulary. None of which moves a mark.
So on every sample page we pull out two or three specific passages and write out
the marker’s reasoning. Not “this is well written”, but: this
paragraph takes an anomaly and uses it to explain a clinical cluster, and that is
what your module’s first-class criteria mean by “critical”. Each
annotation also includes what a weaker answer does in the same place,
because recognising the weak version in your own draft is the part that actually
changes what you write.
The extracts are short on purpose. They are long enough to teach the move and
deliberately too short to be a substitute for doing the reading.
Requesting a full document
Full documents are not published, hosted or linked anywhere on this site. There is
no download button, no email gate and no file to find. If you want one, you ask a
person and a person sends it to you.
-
Message us, naming the sample. Every sample page and every card
above has a WhatsApp link that already fills in the sample reference and title,
so there is nothing to type. Email works just as well.
-
Tell us what you are working on. One or two lines: your module,
your assignment brief, and where you are stuck. This is not a qualifying
question — it is how we know which parts of the document to point you at.
-
We send the document and a short note. The note says which
sections are worth your attention for the problem you described, and which are
not relevant to you at all.
How requesting works in full, including what you
receive, what you do not, and the conditions attached.
Using a sample honestly
A model answer is a worked example. It occupies exactly the same position as a
worked example in a textbook, or a past paper with an examiner’s report
attached: something to learn the move from, then put down before you write.
The line, in one sentence
Submitting any part of one of these documents as your own work would be
plagiarism, in exactly the same way as copying from a journal article,
and we will say so to anyone who asks us for a sample for that purpose. Read the
academic integrity policy before you
request anything.
Used properly, a sample is a structural tool. Read the section list and ask why the
argument is ordered that way. Read one annotated extract and then go and find the
equivalent paragraph in your own draft. That is where the marks are.
What is not here yet
Being straight about the size of this library: it currently holds
4 samples, all in biomedical science, all at undergraduate
BSc level. If you are writing a Master’s dissertation in finance or
a doctoral thesis in computer science, there is nothing here that matches your
brief, and we would rather tell you that than have you read four immunology essays
hoping something transfers.
More disciplines and levels are being written. The structure of this section is
built to take them: when a second discipline lands, it appears in the
“browse by discipline” links above without anything else changing.
If there is a subject you want and cannot see,
tell us — it genuinely affects what gets
written next.
