I am currently writing a essay on the impact of work choices on the Australian labour force, and i was wondering if the following is an exceptable essay writing style

E.g
Some of the reforms the amendment has brought include
1)....
2).......
3).....

This is to show and list clearly what has been done etc, so is that an acceptable way? or do i have to write them all in a sentence?

No. In all essays, you write in paragraphs. A large part of the mark you receive for most essays is your form, so if you did dot points like that you won't get full marks.

Should always put it in paragraphs, I guess.

Oh WW or maybe Year 12's...

Based on your experience with the course, how important is Year 11 Economic concepts in Year 12? To me, they seem like totally different stuff...

Of course when you're writing an essay you have to write sentences. they are not asking you to list the reforms the amendment has brought but to explain the impact of work choices on the Australian labour force.

Also, when writing essays follow the PEEL format.

P- Forget what it stands for LOL, but topic sentence
E-explan
E-provide evidence/quote
L- link

LOL. yeh we should just make it something like PEELS. but people forget to link it back to the question or even the next paragraph if needed and the significance should be said in the explanation.
