Ace Your Courseworks With These Tips

:bangbang:These first two are the most important tips to getting over 70% in your courseworks :bangbang:

1. Seek Feedback:

  • Book a 1:2:1 with you professor or mentor for feedback on your drafts. Constructive criticism can significantly improve the quality of your work.

2. Critical Thinking:

  • Analyse the information critically. Don’t just summarise. Demonstrate your understanding and analytical skills.

3. Understand the Requirements:

  • Read the assignment brief and understand what is expected of you. Take note of the deadline, word count, formatting guidelines, and any specific topics or questions to address.

4. Plan Your Time:

  • Break down your coursework into smaller tasks and create a schedule. Allocate specific time slots for research, writing, editing, and proofreading. Avoid last-minute rushes by starting early!

5. Create an Outline:

  • Organise your ideas logically. Create an outline that includes your introduction, main points, and conclusion. Having a clear structure will make your writing process smoother.

6 Plagiarism Check:

  • Run your final draft through plagiarism detection software to ensure your work is entirely original and properly cited. Use tools like citation management software to stay organised and save time when creating your bibliography.

Remember, effective time management, thorough research, and attention to detail are key to successful coursework. Good luck with your studies!

A great list of tips! Also note on plagiarism, please, never use tools like ChatGPT. It may seem like an easy way of getting through the coursework, but lecturers can easily tell when you’ve used AI. So don’t create yourself more work (as resubmissions can be quite stressful) and use this guide to create your own piece of work that you’re proud of!:smile:

definitely!! plus apparently there are new tools to identify the use of AI software! (not sure if its true but i wouldnt risk it :no_mouth:)
