AcademicSecretary For a person to know what careersuitsaccording to his skills or talents, visiting the university and getting to know an AcademicAdvisor would certainly lead him to roll in the right calling. This person can rank from a Coordinator, a person specificallystablished for each department within a faculty, to the mereDean. A Dean is called to be the chief of each school or faculty within the University. These two people previouslymentioned usually become busier by the beginning of each semester.

  6. Sometimes called reason and result essays, cause and effect essays examine an event or situation. They explore how this event or situation came into being (the “cause”) and what is happening because of this event or situation (the “effect”). In other words, the purpose of these types of essays is to explore the “why” or “how” of a situation.

  7. A BLOCKcause and effect essay structure would look like this: • Introduction: Describe the event or situation your essay will explore. Include your thesis statementwhich may focus on what you think is the main cause or effect of the event or situation. • Body Paragraphs (Causes): Start with what you feel is the main cause of the event, providing evidence to back up your argument. Then, follow with describing secondary causes. • Body Paragraphs (Effects): Just as with the causes, here you’ll start with the biggest or most important effect of the situation. Again, provide evidence to back up your argument. Subsequent paragraphs can then discuss other effects worth noting. • Conclusion: Reiterate your thesis statement and summarize the main points of your essay, showing how they support your thesis.
