General Guidelines on Assignment Writing: Successful assignment and report writing is a skill which
must be developed over time and with practice. It should include the following:
– Drawing up a detailed plan for the assignment. ‘Mind Maps’ may be useful.
– Using plenty of headings and subheadings.
– Ample use of paragraphs. Each paragraph should contain a distinct thought or idea.
– Fully researching the topic (see above)
– Write a number of drafts before finalizing the assignment for submission.
– Allowing a draft to ‘breathe’ by taking some time out before revisiting the draft again and again
before finalizing for submission. Set a ‘false deadline’ a few days before the final official submission
date deadline.
– Assignments written in a rushed manner or at the last minute will show! So, avoid the ‘Last
Minute Dot Com” approach
