talk to your lecturer. i'm sure they must have a different perspective of how to write an essay, and once you learn their formats, you'll be getting good marks again.
hopefully...i mean, if you write the way you talk online....

I'm really not trying to be mean about this but, in proper English, that would have read:(assuming your heading was part of the first sentence.

On all my essays I did well on. (or, better still: On all my essays on which I did well.)

What are some ways to make them college level not high school level?

--------------------

But to answer your question, read books. They are proof-read by professionals. Do not read the Internet where no-one can spell or use proper grammar.Get some examples of college level essays and re-write them just for the exercise.

Be very clear in your initial thesis and draw clear lines with logic back to your thesis when you are explaining your viewpoint and facts.

Sorry if I sounded a bit snarky. I hadn't had my 2nd coffee,lol. I am a big stickler for proper grammar but sometimes I get a bit over the top about it on the Net. Especially since, though I can spell well, I can't tuype wiorht a dan!

I was influenced by an really old English textbook I saw a couple of years ago from the 1940s. I couldn't believe it! Most of what I saw for the grade 8 level back then would be tough in University today! There was a history textbook from the same time too that was even harder!
