Tips When Writing Assignments

The Writing Process

Now it’s time to write your assignment. Dont stress, with our tips you will be able to complete the writing process with ease. For some added help, use our guidelines below on how to structure and write your assignments.

Plan Your Work

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. So be sure to plan out your work. Create a first draft. Determine which notes you will add to which section. Your assignment should flow. So make sure that it reads like a story with a clear beginning, middle and end. It should include an:

• Introduction
• Body 
• Conclusion

Introduction

Here you will introduce your assignment. Give a brief explanation of what your essay is about. State the aim of your work and what you would like to achieve. Your introduction should be conceptualised. So unless you are writing a thesis, keep your introduction short.

Body

The body of your assignment makes up the most of your work. In this section, you will answer the topic question and explain your ideas. Your body can be broken up into smaller, easier to read paragraphs. Ensure that the ideas in your main body work well with the other paragraphs.

Conclusion

Your conclusion is a summary of your assignment. Your main body has already explained your work, so keep your conclusion short. This shouldn’t repeat the sentences in your introduction and main body. Mention how you have achieved your aim and end it on a high note.

Edit and Proofread Your Work

Done with your assignment? Well that was only the first draft. Now you have to read through it.  You could end up losing marks because of mistakes. So take this time to fix any grammar mistakes and spelling errors. But that’s not all. Make sure you:

• Answered the topic question
• Added all the main points
• Created a flow between sections and paragraphs
• Added references if needed
