		<description><![CDATA[Have you felt the panic rising, when you were handed an exceptionally long reading list? Have you felt the desperation taking over in minutes? If yes, you should read this post. You are not supposed to read every book on the list! I don’t expect you to do so. Most teachers know that this is more or less a wish list. Ideally, we would like our students to read everything but, in practice, we know that this is impossible. Books on the list make a great background reading on the period but usually articles are more targeted to your essay topic. In addition, articles are shorter and can be read quicker. So, focus on these. After you finish reading one or two of them, make certain you look at the footnotes for additional bibliography on your topic. The reading list is just a starting point of the most important (but not the only) works. Make sure that you do not read the books and articles from the beginning to the end. Select carefully the passages you are interested in. The best way to do that is by looking for relevant keywords across the text. In the case of books you should use mainly the table of contents and the indexes. Bear in mind that you should not only read quickly but also smartly. If a passage is of interest, focus on it and read it in depth. Make sure you understand it correctly before you use it in your essay.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The beginning of writing is always painful. You may feel uncertain about your ideas, you may feel that you have not studied enough, you may feel that your writing skills are inadequate. All these feelings may or may not be true. At some point, though, you should brush them aside, sit in front of the computer and start writing. The best way to start is by writing your… conclusions. Do not bother with the introduction or the main text. Jump directly into the conclusions. By the time you begin your essay you should have read the books, done the research and formed an idea about what you want to prove and how. The distillation of all this knowledge will obviously appear in your conclusions. Once you have written this most essential paragraph, it will be easier to construct a logical argument around it. Your aims will be clear and, therefore, the logical steps you need to take will be well defined. Good luck!]]></description>
