   • Marking criteria (below)
   You should by level 6 have a reasonable grasp of what a good academic writing style looks like, but just in case:
   There is an example here of the right style, tone and use of references/citations (it’s a level 4 essay, so level 6
   should be even better and use more citations):

   There are also a number of websites that give general guidance on essay writing, such as this one:
   Essay Writing Guide for Psychology Students | Simply Psychology
   Finally, in terms of general writing for academic study at UEL, you might also wish to contact the central
   support team, who will be more able to support you than the academic staff
   Meet the team | University of East London ( uel.ac.uk )
   You can also look through any academic journal paper and aim for the style used there.
