Week3- Cause&Effect: Important Feedback

Hi,
I would like to thank those who have kindly posted their essays on the topic, "factors leading to failure among university students".
The ideas and arguments you have presented are usually good and seem relevant to the factors we discussed in class that affect university student's academic performances and lead to success and failure depending on their presence or absence.
I would like to draw your attention that our main focus is on the causes of university failure; however, some of the essays posted carry the risk of getting off track, that is, some essays read like they are opinion essays, or essays giving advice to the readers about how they should avoid failure and seek success. There are different kinds of essays, and cause-effect is one of them. So when the task requires you to write a cause-effect essay, your main focus should be placed on that.
Thanks, and looking forward to more essays posted on the website.
