How to...write a great assignment

4. Plan Have you drawn up an outline which shows the main points and sub-points? Does your outline include all the facts you intend to include and is it in a logical sequence? Does it answer the question set in the assignment? 5. Start Writing Now it’s time to start writing! Have you got the right environment to work in? Do you have everything you need – computer, books, pens, pencils, dictionary, calculator etc? Don’t forget to save your work as you go along! Make a back-up as well. 6. Review and Check Once you have finished writing leave it for a while and then proof – read and edit it. Have you: • checked spelling ? • checked punctuation ? • checked does it make sense? • checked does it have a logical structure ?

• included a conclusion ? • done your referencing ?

7. Hand it in!
