The Topic:J&B worked with the client on a 1,*00-word essay for the John Locke Essay Competition addressing the Psychology prompt: “In surveys conducted in the United States, significantly more than half the respondents reported that they believed themselves to be more attractive than the median person in their country. How might we account for this?” The Process:At the beginning of the project, J&B and the client met to brainstorm potential prompts. As the client was interested in two prompts, the team shared relevant articles related to each prompt to help the client decide on a topic. Once the client selected their ideal topic, J&B prepared a 40-minute lecture and shared 10 scholarly sources with the client to broaden their topic knowledge. After the client reviewed their scholarly sources, J&B conducted a seminar session with the client to materialize their approach and arguments. The team then shared a 10-page outline with the client to guide them while writing their first draft. Utilizing J&B’s outline as a starting point, the client wrote the first draft of their essay, which J&B returned to the client with edits and suggestions. The client followed J&B’s guidance while writing their second draft, which the team then polished so that it met their quality standards. Writing Style:The client is a thoughtful writer interested in pursuing psychology as a future career. To prepare the client for future psychology essays, J&B helped the client incorporate relevant theories and studies into their essay to create strong, evidence-based arguments. The team guided the client on using real-life examples from their everyday experiences to build the persuasive component of their essay. At the end of the project, the client expressed their enjoyment of their psychology prompt and used the project with J&B as a valuable learning experience.
