Avoiding Revisions/Disputes

Failure to follow instructions is the cause of 90% of disputes. This factor in essay writing is
hardest to control mostly due to complexity of some assignments. Still, definite tips will be
useful in minimizing the chance for having your order on revision or dispute due to failure to
follow instructions:

- First and foremost, it is important to adequately assess your skills and scope of understanding.
Carefully evaluate the instructions and check whether you understand the topic. While some
orders may be quite seducing in terms of financial reward you should be careful as such
assignments may come at a price. Therefore, temper your greed:); it is better to write two
‘cheaper’ papers than one that you know you won’t complete as requested.

- Carefully read and understand the instructions. Instructions are the bone of your essay.
They define what the essay will be about and narrow the topic of your research.

- Proportionate your writings according to your tasks. Quite often when you need to answer
several questions or cover a couple of points you might spend the bulk of an essay on answering
one question and squeeze the rest of your questions into the remaining 1-2 pages. Please refrain
from that and try to allocate equal space for each question you have to cover.

- If you have problems sticking to the topic, prepare an outline: a) write down the key points
that need to be covered on a separate sheet, b) enumerate them from most to least important, c)
shortly outline the answers and references, d) write down questions that you might come across,
e) place this sheet of paper in front of you and every now and then check whether you are still
following your outline. This tip is especially useful for short essays. On one hand, such outline
keeps you stuck to the original instructions; on the other, it delimits the scope of your study and
reminds you of the points you haven’t yet covered.

- Do not be afraid to ask questions. Often, one or two questions timely posed before the
customer may solve your riddles.

- Go through your instructions in time. It is a case with non-urgent orders that the writers fail
to timely read through the guidelines and as a result fail to follow them accordingly. Actually, it
is much better for you to make an outline beforehand. For example, you have been assigned a
paper which is due in 10 days. Spend half an hour now, read the instructions, prepare an outline
right away. Then feel free to put it aside for a while i you have other urgent things to do. At least,
you will be sure that you understand the topic and do not need more clarifications from the
customer.

- If you see that your paper takes more space than requested, you must focus on valuable
information and remove what can be removed so that the essay fits the required amount of pages
without losing its value.
- Always perform a spell check. To minimize the probability of revisions you must always
perform a spell check. Spell check tool underlines grammar mistakes. This function should be
properly tuned in your MS Word and similar systems.

- Always provide real references. Majority of your references are later verified up to the page
number. Incorrect sources will mark the paper as plagiarized.
