Learn how to organize your research notes into a
top-grade essay.

What the Professors aren't telling you about that lower-than-expected grade on your paper; eight out of ten times it has nothing to do with the content.

Dear Student,

According to a number of resources, some of which are listed below, the inability to organize thoughts into an academic paper is rampant.  In the course of your studies there will be many occasions on which you will be required to write an essay. The ability to create a coherent structure and to ensure a proper flow in your essay will definitely be reflected in the mark you receive. 

A weak writing style will create obstacles throughout your life. These could range from poor grades in college, to rejections on grad school applications, and poor job evaluations from employers.

  • The National Commission on Writing

    "Recent analyses indicate that more than 50 percent of first-year college students are unable to produce papers relatively free of language errors. Analyzing arguments and synthesizing information are also beyond the scope of most first-year students, according to these accounts."

  • January 3, 2003, edition of The Chronicle of Higher Education Why Johnny Can't Write, Even Though He Went To Princeton

    "Almost everyone comes in well-trained to gather research in the library," says Judith A. Swan, a lecturer in Princeton's writing program. "But almost none of them are capable of turning that into a real paper with a thesis and an argument."

  • Public Agenda - Reality Check 2002

    This survey indicates that 75% of Professors and 73% of Employers say that the inability of students/employees to write clearly is a major problem.

  • Irascible Professor  December 1, 2003 [Dr. Mark H. Shapiro - California State University, Fullerton]

    The IP comments that while teaching an introductory physics laboratory to college juniors and seniors, primarily majoring in biology or biochemistry, out of the brief lab reports written in class on a weekly basis, most students grasp the important concepts from the experiment. However, their ability to communicate this understanding is far weaker than one would expect for college juniors and seniors.

When you do not know how to write an essay, it can be a fearsome assignment. The majority of college/university professors will expect that you already possess this skill. Unfortunately, studies prove that is rarely the case. Due to a number of contributing factors students are just not being taught writing skills in a manner that would lend itself to producing papers that are clearly and concisely written. It has become apparent that in order to attain these skills, students will likely have to look elsewhere for assistance. In an effort to fill this gap, I have created The Basic Cozy Essay Course.

After watching the [Basic Cozy Essay Course] DVD, my college-age son revised an argumentative essay which he had written the day before, and the subsequent results were more professional and polished. Another child (my 14 year old daughter) commented that the formula taught would also be useful in preparing speeches and talks. Overall, this is a most useful program. Laura Bahrt

Additional Information


Nothing will undermine the research you have done faster than the inability to write your thoughts down in a manner that flows well and makes sense. While mediocre writers abound, in both the classroom and in the labor force, someone who writes skillfully will stand out and be more likely to succeed.
