What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments.  In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome.  There are two approaches to the process essay.  The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task.  The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process.  The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.  

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things.  First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary.  Next, it needs to identify your audience.  Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process.  For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process.  For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay.  If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

Performance of State Owned Enterprises in Nigeria
The research proposal on the performance of state owned enterprises in Nigeria reflects the necessity of studying this issue. It seems that in most countries, the performance in public management is more difficult to evaluate in comparison with the private sector. This is because in the case of private companies performance is reflected in their sales volume, in their incomes level, in their production ability, and other indicators. But public entities do not produce, sell, or commercialize products, making it difficult to evaluate their performance.

Fingerspelling as Children Learn New Languages They
An inconsistency lies in the ability to link American Sign Language to the English language. Researchers Tamara S. Haptonstall-Nykaza and Brenda Schick created an experiment to test the ability of fingerspelling to assist deaf children in learning how to read. Unlike children that are not deaf who can sound words out in order to learn how to read, deaf children have to go through alternative measures in order to be able to do the same. The research concluded that associating words with pictures and fingerspelling words both work equally well in teaching deaf children how to read written English.

Gaining Insight Into System One
This is an essay on System One and Two (Kahneman). System One is the instinctive primitive system that compels biased subjective thinking. It is the type of thinking that is prejudicial and irrational but happens so fast and subconsciously that I am unaware of it. System One is the system that is unhelpful for researchers and is the type of thinking that we wish to avoid. Recognizing that my instinctive split-second decision making shares these characteristics will make me all the more conscientious of trying to avoid it. We have a tendency moreover to assert that we are not biased, non-prejudicial, and so forth. Awareness of this ripple of instinctive reaction that is hardly, if at all, registered by us can make us think otherwise. It may be, after all, that we are subjective and judgmental even without our realizing it. Knowledge of this dual system, can, consequently, help us in our research by making us less smug about our alleged objectivity and by making us more careful to be as objective as possible.
