ASSIGNMENT WRITING GUIDELINES
A/ Preparing
I. Your lecture notes will give you the basic framework ONLY of the ideas,
theories and concepts you will need to complete the assignment. These notes will
therefore NOT be sufficient on their own. You will need to make use of the required
reading, extra references and any other material you come across in the course of
researching your assignment.
II. When you are taking notes for your assignment, try and `translate' what the
author is saying into your own words. Don't just copy out huge chunks from other
people’s work, otherwise they will probably end up in your assignment with very little
of the wording changed (which is plagiarism). Also try to think about what is being
said from your own point of view - do you agree or disagree with the points that the
author is making?
III. Take down basic points from as many sources as you can manage and compare what
the authors are saying as you are reading. There will be both similarities and
differences in their views and it helps if you can begin to classify authors together.
IV. Try and only take down relevant points - authors don't (unfortunately!) write just so
that students can write assignments and not everything you read will be useful to you.
When you are taking notes, try and keep the assignment in mind – ask yourself how
you can use this material in the assignment itself.
V. Remember, for referencing purposes, to take down page numbers of all the
quotes you reproduce from other people’s work, and full citation details for each
source you use. See the referencing guidelines for details of how to reference
academic work. You can find free citation/referencing generator at
www.assignmenthelpsolutions.com
B/ Writing
I. Make sure you have understood what the assignment is getting at and that you
know how to complete it. In particular please be aware that no assignment will ask
you just to write down everything you know about a subject area – instead it will
require you to consider specific issues.
II. When evaluating different viewpoints, make sure you give each a `fair crack of the
whip'. You can't produce a valid conclusion unless you have sorted through the
arguments for each perspective in a balanced way - comparison often helps here.
Note: Assignments can be categorized in various paper types like Essay, Report, Case Study,
Coursework and Research Project. For more details on these visit
www.assignmenthelpsolutions.com

III. Try to stick to the introduction/ discussion/ conclusion format in your essay - ie, set
the context of the essay and outline the structure of your argument, cover the relevant
material, and then tie the discussion up by summarizing what has been said and
offering YOUR opinion on what the question is asking about, based on the sources you
have used. The format and writing style differs based on paper type. Essay writing is
different from report writing. Detailed guidelines and samples are available on
www.assignmenthelpsolutions.com
IV. Make sure you `operationalize your concepts' - a posh way of saying `define the terms
you use'. However, don't go overboard - only `technical' terms (ie, that are not in
common usage) need to be defined. In general, you should aim to write for a layperson
– that is, someone who is not an expert in the area, but who will understand the
relevant ideas if they are explained properly.
V. You should provide evidence for all the assertions that you make during your
assignment; that is, make reference to ideas, theories and concepts, empirical research
and/ or experience of your own which support your claims.
VI. Direct quotations are always good to see - they prove you have read the source in
question for a start! However, again, don't go mad. A good rule of thumb is, if you can
say it just as well yourself, then don't use a direct quotation - but if you do summarize
what someone else is saying in your own words, don’t forget that you still need a
reference because this is an indirect quotation.
VII. Remember to cite the sources of ALL the ideas and quotations that you have used
in-text. Also, don't forget to provide a full bibliography - and don't try and pad it out!
Only list sources you have actually looked at. See the referencing guidelines, and ask
for help if you are stuck.
VIII. Try to write in a structured way - that is, make sure that one point links clearly to the
next. If you need to move on to new material, then try using constructions like
`Moving on’ or `On a different issue’ at the start of the new point. Also make sure you
link the sections of your argument together, so that your assignment is not just a
series of points. Linking points make an assignment flow better.
IX. You also need to try and paragraph properly. The most common tendency is to make
paragraphs too short, which gives the assignment a bitty, fragmented feel. It is difficult
to be prescriptive about paragraphing but the usual guidance is to end a paragraph
when you have finished discussing a particular point. If you feel that your paragraph is
getting too long, and you haven’t come to the end of the point, then break off at a
logical place and restart using a construction like `Moreover’, `Furthermore’,
`Additionally’ etc., which makes it clear that you are still discussing the same issue. We
also prefer you to use a FULL BLANK LINE to indicate a paragraph break.
X. Develop your points to make it clear what you are getting at - don't leave
arguments `hanging in mid-air'.
XI. Try not to be overly bombastic in your argument. Most if not all of the issues in the
discipline of management are a matter of opinion - so try not to make it sound as if
4
what you are arguing is the definitive viewpoint. There will almost always be another
way to look at the issue.
XII. Please do not use sexist language. We MUCH PREFER gender inclusive language like
he/ she, his/ her, they, them, their etc. to gender exclusive language like he, him, his
etc. You should only refer to an individual as he or she (etc.) when you either know
their gender or you are directly quoting someone who uses sexist language (and
even then [sic] might come in handy … see the referencing guidelines). Also avoid
insensitive terminology such as `coloured person’ when you mean `person of colour’
or `queer’ when you mean `homosexual’.
XIII. Don't be afraid to ask for help - but do so in plenty of time before the deadline! You
might also want to consult the Written Style guidance which is available on the
university web site at http://www.assignmenthelpsolutions.com

Only list sources you have actually looked at. See the referencing guidelines, and ask for help if you are stuck. VIII. Try to write in a structured way - that is, make sure that one point links clearly to the next. If you need to move on to new material, then try using constructions like `Moving on’ or `On a different issue’ at the start of the new point. Also make sure you link the sections of your argument together, so that your assignment is not just a series of points. Linking points make an assignment flow better. IX. You also need to try and paragraph properly. The most common tendency is to make paragraphs too short, which gives the assignment a bitty, fragmented feel. It is difficult to be prescriptive about paragraphing but the usual guidance is to end a paragraph when you have finished discussing a particular point. If you feel that your paragraph is getting too long, and you haven’t come to the end of the point, then break off at a logical place and restart using a construction like `Moreover’, `Furthermore’, `Additionally’ etc., which makes it clear that you are still discussing the same issue. We also prefer you to use a FULL BLANK LINE to indicate a paragraph break. X. Develop your points to make it clear what you are getting at - don't leave arguments `hanging in mid-air'. XI. Try not to be overly bombastic in your argument. Most if not all of the issues in the discipline of management are a matter of opinion - so try not to make it sound as if
  • 4. 4 what you are arguing is the definitive viewpoint. There will almost always be another way to look at the issue. XII. Please do not use sexist language. We MUCH PREFER gender inclusive language like he/ she, his/ her, they, them, their etc. to gender exclusive language like he, him, his etc. You should only refer to an individual as he or she (etc.) when you either know their gender or you are directly quoting someone who uses sexist language (and even then [sic] might come in handy … see the referencing guidelines). Also avoid insensitive terminology such as `coloured person’ when you mean `person of colour’ or `queer’ when you mean `homosexual’. XIII. Don't be afraid to ask for help - but do so in plenty of time before the deadline!
