Your First Written Assignment
Whether you are dealt with your first written assignment, or you are seeking for stimulation to make higher your mark, this text will help you cope with it perfectly.
How should your begin your written assignment? It is recommended for you to start by just reading the question. It can seem rather too understandable to mention but each year, students look at a phrase or even word in their written assignment’s title and take it as a key for reeling off everything that they know about this topic, without thinking over whether they are truly replying what has been required of them. You should analyze the question and keep in mind that some focus words are keys as to what your tutor is requiring of you. For instance, ‘discuss’ signifies to introduce two parts of an argument and implications. When you are in doubt, it is recommended to look the words in the dictionary!
To research a problem and locate appropriate source material, you should plan your search strategy. This guarantees that you know what you are seeking for!
For planning your research, you should decide on:
- the focal point of your paper’s question - what is the key topic?
- the main ideas - jot down words associated with the topic;
- alternative terms - jot down other words, which signify the same as the main ideas;
- your comprehension of the issues - jot down things, which think will be significant to answer some question;
- your sources - where are you going to find material?
