An assignment should be written in a flowing manner with each sentence following on logically from the previous one and with appropriate signposts to guide the reader. The function of the introduction is simply to introduce the subject, to explain how you understand the question, and describe briefly how you intend to deal with it. You could begin by defining essential terms, providing a brief historical or personal context if appropriate. By explaining why you think the subject is significant or interesting. Keep the introduction short, preferably to one or two paragraphs and keep it, succinct, to the point. Some students find it best to write a provisional introduction, when starting to write an assignment, and then to rewrite this when they have finished the first draft of their assignment.


Assignments are generally a blend of researched evidence. The balance between other researchers’ and writers’ analysis of the subject and your own comment will vary with the subject and the nature of the question. Generally, It is important to back up the points you wish to make from your experience with the findings of other published researchers and writers. You will have likely been given a reading list or some core text books to read. Use these as your research base but try to expand on what is said and read around the subject as fully as you can.  Always keep a note of your sources as you go along. Quotations should not be used as a substitute for your own words. A quote should always have an explanation in your own words to show its significance to your argument. Assignment Writing Services

At the end of an assignment you should include a short conclusion, the purpose of which is to sum up or draw a conclusion from your argument or comparison of viewpoints.  Indicate what has been learned or accomplished.  The conclusion is also a good place to mention questions that are left open or further issues which you recognize, but which do not come within the scope of your assignment. Neither the conclusion, nor the introduction, should totally summarize the whole of your argument. One common downfall is to not reference adequately and be accused of plagiarism.  If you have directly quoted any other author's text you should always indicate exactly where the evidence comes from in a reference.

Constructing Proper Paragraphs and Sentences

 

One important way of guiding the reader through your assignment is by using paragraphs. The paragraphs show when you have come to the end of one main point and the beginning of the next. A paragraph is a group of sentences related to aspects of the same point. Within each individual paragraph an idea is introduced and developed through the subsequent sentences within that paragraph.
