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.

Self-esteem and academic achievement gaps among ethnic groups

The research on the relationship between self-esteem and intellectual performance places a lot of emphases on the gap of achievement and is generally concerned with clearly identifying the factors which bring about differential intellectual results among the categories of ethnic. According to research work, much focus is given to eradicating the gap in the intellectual achievement in the academic life of various male and female students across the world. Research based on both Male and Female students has been able to show that, the expected rate of graduating from school for students with African origin studying in the US is around 53% on average (Antonio 1999). This is in comparison to a percentage of around 78% for students in the US with origin. American students African origin in several colleges complete their studies, which normally takes a period of four years, at about 25% rate below their counterparts having the European origin but studying in the US. This is seen as one of the slowest rate of completion compared with the other ethnic categories (Rosenthal, & Jacobson 2006).
