Essays
Many assignments need to be written in the form of an essay. The structure of essay-style assignments is very open but generally includes an introduction, a main body and a conclusion. The following are the sections you should include in your assignments.
- Title: Write the full question (title) at the top of your assignment. It will contain keywords (known as content and process words). Understanding the question has more information on these.
- Introduction: A paragraph or two to define key terms and themes and indicate how you intend to address the question.
- Main body: A series of paragraphs written in full sentences that include specific arguments relating to your answer. It’s vital to include evidence and references to support your arguments.
- Conclusion: A short section to summarise main points and findings. Try to focus on the question but avoid repeating what you wrote in the introduction.
- References: A list of sources (including module materials) that are mentioned in the essay.
