Productivity is a wonderful word when it comes to essay writing, but it doesn't matter whether the student is writing a discursive paper or a narrative paper because without motivation there can't be any productivity. Sometimes it can be hard to find that motivation, even when confronted with a looming deadline.

As a student, we are often told about how plagiarism in our work must be avoided at all costs. After a while it can get a little old, but there are genuine reasons for being told this. A lot of people plagiarise work without even meaning to, and without realising it they end up losing a lot of marks through not having kept their work entirely their own.
