To write a good essay,you must start with an introduction. The introduction can be a quotation, something to captivate audience from the start. In the first paragraph of the essay you must include your thesis,what are you going to speak about in your essay,the main idea. Then you have to support your thesis by arguments in the next paragraphs. Do not forget to include specific details to support your arguments as well. The conclusion of the essay can be a final personalized opinion which summarizes all that has been said before.

That is a good general guide but your teachers may want something else so find a couple of students who did well in the course last year or last semester and ask to borrow their essays.
Then take the essays apart and see how they are structured and what format that teacher likes. Look carefully at the grammar and see what makes the sentences work. See how the students organized the information.
Never copy though. It won't look good on your record if you are discovered and won't do you any good in the long run.
If the teachers have written anything in the same area read all they have written and try to find out their style.
Get together with a group of four students in your class and edit one another's essays. If you disagree, go to the teacher with specific points. You might also be able to take in an outline to the teacher beforehand to see if you are on the right track for that class.
Find a really good student a few years ahead of you and ask them for advice about the instructor and what they like from petty details about where to put your name and student number to more general questions of philosophy and what authors and ideals the teacher follows.
