1. For Students in the Academic Essay Writing class
This research could propose some suggestions for students in the Academic Essay Writing class. Firstly, they should put more their attention to
their outlining process. In that case, they need to think carefully and to list what to write in a thesis statement, in a topic sentence covering its supporting evidence to
support the topic sentence, and in a thesis restatement. Secondly, they should also check carefully the topic sentence in their outline, ensure whether the topic
sentence is relevant to, and supports the thesis statement. Thirdly, the students are suggested to read many examples of argumentative essays from various sources.
This also implies that the students should not always look at the examples given by the lecturer in their classroom or from the given module in the class. Then, the
examples do not need to be a very long essay consisting of many paragraphs, which possibly confuse the students.
There are more points that are also essential to suggest. Firstly, in relation to the idea relationships in an essay, the students could use enumeration idea
relationship when they write their analytical exposition essay. Secondly, dealing with the number of sentences written in a paragraph, the students can try not to
write more than five sentences in each paragraph. This research believes that writing four up to five sentences in a paragraph would help to minimize the
unconnected ideas within the supporting evidence written in the paragraph. Eventually, the students could see some possible coherence problems as revealed
by the current research, to recognize the pattern of the problems, to realize the PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

when they write their future academic written work.
