Students learn in a bunch of different ways; in fact, what is helpful for one student may be detrimental to another student. Unfortunately, our modern educational system is structured in such a way that it only supports one or two major learning styles. This approach means that writing is taught in a very rote manner; with students being told rules to follow, but not necessarily given additional information for how to follow them. Furthermore, K-12 education focuses so intensely on expository writing that many students enter colleges and universities without having ever been asked to complete any other type of writing assignment, and, sometimes without ever having been exposed to any type of non-expository academic writing. The result is an entire generation of students with very little experience or exposure with the different types of academic writing necessary for higher-level academic success. While some colleges and universities have wonderful writing departments that are willing to work with students to achieve competency in these writing areas, others are frustrated by the lack of preparation and blame the students.
For students who learn by example, our free essays examples are a fantastic way to bridge that knowledge gap. We have thousands of essays across hundreds of topic areas. By reading these essays, our customers can familiarize themselves with upper-level writing conventions and see how to properly apply them in an academic context. Rather than expecting students to extrapolate from the expository process to the more nuanced works required in college, our examples show students exactly what they need to do to complete a particular type of assignment. You can use these documents to brainstorm topics and titles, help you with the introduction or body, get ideas for an essay hook, or even find quality resources. We think that free essay examples are an invaluable resource for students and invite you to see how they can help improve your writing.

FASB Accounting Standards Codification 1. For the purposes of performing the recoverability test, the following assets and liabilities should be included in the asset group.

Land-based assets such as the company office would not be included; only those assets that are specifically related Continue Reading...
With power comes responsibility, and with great power comes great responsibility. The acquisition of empire generated great responsibility for Rome, and as well as they entrenched the empire in history, the relatively rapid downfall of Rome signals the inability of the empire to anticipate what needed to be done to manage such a vast amount of territory with as culturally diverse a subject population. Although Rome attempted to monitor territorial acquisitions via a central governing authority, the increasing pragmatic need for decentralization of power led to several problems. During the beginnings of the Roman empirical era, the annexation of new Continue Reading...

On August 25, 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall on the coast of Texas. While it was predicted to hit the United States as less destructive tropical storm or Cat 1 hurricane, a number of factors combined to make Harvey extremely destructive. First, Harvey strengthened as it approached land. Second, the storm was slow-moving, so that it continued to drop rain on the coast. Finally, Harvey’s rains hit one of the most heavily-populated areas of the United States. Combined together, these factors made Harvey one of the most destructive natural disasters to ever hit the United States. One of the reasons Continue Reading...
Repealing and replacing Obamacare was one of the rallying points for President Trump’s presidential campaign, but has proven to be difficult even with a Republican-controlled Congress. There are a number of reasons that repeal and replace has been difficult, even though the Affordable Care Act (the ACA) was, at best, an imperfect solution to the modern healthcare crises. Public support for repealing Obamacare has lessened as people have become aware that Obamacare and the ACA are the same thing. Republicans have not been able to develop a plan that would provide better care for the American people without having an Continue Reading...
