Take a clear stand and provide logic and evidence to defend your answer.  An excellent essay will do all of the following: (1) define clientelism and development; (2) discuss why clientelism might be good for development; (3) discuss why clientelism might be bad for development; (4) discuss why different types of clientelism might have different effects on development; and (5) provide a direct and well-justified answer about why you agree or disagree with the italicized statement. 
suggest you start each essay with an introduction that (1) provides a clear thesis statement, and (2) briefly lists the main points that the essay covers to support this thesis statement. Then, organize your writing such that you provide (at least) one paragraph to discuss each of these main points. Write a brief concluding paragraph at the end. Excellent answers will provide specific evidence in support of claims and will address counter-arguments.
