The 3 Prompts I Use for Academic Writing — And Why I Still Use a Human Tutor

Been experimenting with using structured prompts for academic essay planning and thought I'd share what's actually working vs what sounds good in theory.
The prompts that hold up:
For thesis generation: "Given this essay question: [X], generate five arguable thesis statements that take a clear position rather than describing the topic. For each, state what evidence would be needed to support it."
For source interrogation: "Here is a quote from [Author, Year]: [quote]. What claim does this support, what does it complicate, and what counterargument does it leave open?"
For paragraph structure check: "Read this paragraph and tell me: does it make one claim, support it with evidence, and explain what the evidence proves — or is it describing rather than arguing?"
The gap I keep running into: AI feedback on argument structure is decent for surface-level issues but misses discipline-specific marking conventions. A nursing essay and a law essay and a sociology essay get marked completely differently, and generic AI doesn't know your university's rubric.
For anyone working on assignments at UK, Australian, or Canadian universities who needs that subject-specific layer, academic tutoring from AssignProSolution fills the gap — PhD tutors who know your actual marking criteria, not just general academic writing principles.
The prompts above are solid for drafting. Human expert feedback is still what closes the gap before submission.
