Power Keys to Written Assignment

As for me, written assignment cuts both ways. On the one hand, written assignment allows you to find out a lot of new and interesting information. On the other hand, very often a written assignment turns into a big trouble for many students.

The problems that students can have vary from the humble loss of inspiration to the difficulties of a practical kind: lack of the materials, unawareness of the topic and related issues, poor writing skills and so on.

In this article we would like to talk about the very first problem that students may face with their written assignments. This is loss of inspiration or just your inability to start writing.

So, these are the power keys that will help start writing any academic paper.

• The very first thing that really matters when trying to complete any paper is your general attitude towards this work. Needless to say, your attitude should be positive and optimistic. Try to get rid of all the negative thoughts and critical comments addressed to your abilities. You have to say: “I can do this work. It is going to be extremely interesting and fascinating.”
• Develop your working structures. By the way, once developed working structures will help you complete all the other assignments. Under the working structures I mean: your working place, the working hours, time to get some rest and so on.
• The final key to success is the additional help that usually can be obtained from your tutors and advisors. The main role of these people at your institution is to teach and help you. So, never be shy or afraid to resort to this kind of help.

Thus, when the beginning of your next written assignment will be failing, recollect these strategies.

Critical Comments on your Written Assignment

There are many aspects of your written assignment that are usually assessed by any tutor. If you want to get the high grade for your work, you should be aware of all the parameters that are estimated. If you have this list, you can make sure whether all these parameters are introduced properly in your written assignment.

In fact, I do not know any tutor who would conceal the basic requirements of completing the written assignments from his/her students. As far as I know, getting each written assignments starts with the extensive instructions on its implementation. Thus, you just need to be attentive and take all the necessary notes.

Anyway, if you have missed something or just failed to understand the information, we are ready to help you. Below there is a list of the points that can receive the negative comments from your tutor.

•    You have a lot of empty, not-to-the-point or unsupported generalizations in your paper.
•    You use few sources to write your assignment or you use inappropriate materials.
•    Wordiness – is something that can be easily found in your essay, but it does not make a lot of sense.
•    You do not use the back-ups critically.
•    Passive voice is the distinctive feature of your work.
•    You failed to create a strong thesis statement and your work lacks enough analysis and research.

In fact, these are the basic rules of writing your assignments successfully. You should have heard them, but you were not attentive too much.

Do’s and Don’ts in Written Assignments

During a student life every student accomplishes an overwhelming number of written assignments. Thus, more and more experience in accomplishment of written assignments is got. Still, some students are still unaware of what to do and what not to do while making written assignments. That is why the presentation of do’s and don’ts in written assignments can be well in handy for every student.

So, while fulfilling written assignments, DO:

•    Structure your paper carefully according to the standard requirements or the ones established by your tutor. As a rule, all written assignments should have the Introduction, the Main Body and the Conclusion. However, some of them are subdivided into the smaller parts, like Data Presentation, Discussion, etc.;
•    Edit your paper properly. The necessity to edit written tasks means that you should ALWAYS edit the papers done. You can use online writing services, pay the sum of money they require and get a paper without mistakes, or you can do it by yourself;
•    Use your creative thinking. Creativity is always much welcome in any kind of written assignments. You just have to combine it with your knowledge of the materials proficiently.
While fulfilling written assignments, DO NOT:
•    Use every day language. You have to make use of the language required. As a rule, no slang or professional jargon is allowed;
•    Use repetitions if it is possible to change a repeated word by a synonym;
•    Break the rules of grammar, spelling, punctuation or format.

Keep these things in mind while accomplishing the written assignments and you will always get only the highest grades on them.

Your Thinking in the Written Assignment

I always wanted to know why some students hate their written assignments. As for me, written assignment is not so difficult, but rather interesting to do. Still, I have one supposition why the written assignment can be so disgusting for somebody.

One of the most common reasons and big problems is the wrong organization of your thinking or brainstorming process. It is the very first step of any written assignment. You start with generating the ideas that will be covered in your work.

Usually it happens like that. You sit for an hour, two, three and the results are nil. Your forehead is covered with wrinkles from the intensive ideas generating process. You sweat and go from one corner of the room to another. But this also does not help.

What you should do? Where to get the ideas? Well, everything is a bit simpler than you imagine. First, it is better to calm down and concentrate. Only your fresh head will generate some fresh thoughts.

Second, you have to be equipped with the notebook and a pen. You should be ready to write down your ideas.

Third, is actually writing down the ideas. All ideas, I mean every single idea should be reflected on the paper. You may think that in this way a lot of useless ideas will be noted; however you should not care about it at this moment.

Everything you need is a solid basis. After that you will be able to sort your ideas and decide whether they are pointless or the good ones.

Written Assignment: For and Against

Written assignments are frequently assigned to students of different academic institutions. Actually, the greater part of education students spend on accomplishing written assignments. It is the main reason for why the vast majority of students hate written assignments.

Let us consider the advantages and the disadvantages of education based on written assignments:

  • Advantages. Every student should be enough educated in writing. Written assignment develops students’ writing skills. A student learns to express his or her thoughts in sentences following the major rules of grammar, spelling and punctuation. Moreover, a student learns to disclose the main idea of the task required. When you write, you learn to transfer your thoughts into the words arranging them in logical consecution. That is why this advantage of written assignment accomplishing is rather an essential one and helps to improve your personal abilities and professionalism in writing;
  • Disadvantages. An overwhelming number of written assignments yield inabilities to express thoughts verbally. Present day students have used to using notes while making reports meanwhile they should give speech without any help just from memory. This enables them to reproduce information providing enough sufficient details. You will never tell many details in your report if your attention is focused on the most important information that you have to convey. As a result, abilities to cover the subject matter fully are becoming blocked.

The discussion on advantages and the disadvantages of written assignments can last forever. However, inspite of this, you must fulfill everything that your tutor assigns.
