LECTURER’S SUGGESTIONS for the assignment: – Both the introduction and conclusion should clearly state the assignment question and your answer (in brief) to this question. Put simply, think of an assignment as the assessor asking a question (the assignment question) and you answering the question in a comprehensive and logical way, drawing on topic content and your own readings. –
Make sure that each paragraph presents one key idea (contained in the first topic sentence of each paragraph) that contributes directly to answering the question. If a paragraph doesn’t seem to play a role in answering the assignment question, chances are you are writing off topic. – Check that you have discussed everything contained in the marking criteria/rubric in sufficient detail.
