Psych Essays - They should be able to be read and understood by your flatmates, parents, friends...

There are two parts to this one.

First your essay should be readable. It should contain sentences that communicate their intended
message and are grammatically correct.

Secondly it should be understandable. Complex/jargony words should only be included when they
are necessary and should usually be defined when they are first mentioned. Please note that there
are no extra marks awarded for impressive vocabularies or skilful use of a thesaurus.

"In view of the multitudinous articulation the language reference compendium is never your soul
mate. Operate it intermittently or, sophisticated likewise, not under any condition."

Translation:
For the most part the thesaurus is not your friend. Use it sparingly or, better yet, not at all
