what is YOUR process in assignment writing?

I usually end up writing a load of vulgarity all over the page until I think of a decent way of wording things.

I think my unfinished French pieces are my finest work. French swearing is top notch.

You want to try Latin; landica is one of the most beautiful profanities I've ever heard

When I was doing assignments I'd decide on the structure first, and then write all my headings and apply page-breaks where necessary. Then I'd basically fill it out like a form. As far as research goes, I'd learn the **** out of what I was writing about and then just look keywords up in the indexes of my sources to back up what I'd said.

ok great thanks thats helpful
whats your tip on getting the highest grade possible? what tips would u suggest

Digest the module into five minutes' worth of bullet points and commit them to memory. Don't do too much at once, or you'll strain your mind - like filling a water-bomb, do it slowly and carefully and you'll get more in than if you try and jump a gallon in all at once.

Also plenty of sleep and sex help stem the nerves that make you fluff questions.

so like bullet points on the key points? the same way people writing speechs write key words on to cards to help them remember specific parts or subjects?

Yeah. So, for example, one exam I did in my IT degree was on a distributed systems module, and I made the bullet points and then recorded them and kept them on my mp3 player - I've still got them on my computer after all this time. Just a quick rundown, the essential core knowledge from which I could infer the rest.

i think i understand
any tips on the layout and flowing of assignments?

Logically. I't been over three years since I last wrote an assignment, but I'd generally go along these lines:Obviously that's just how I did it, in a scientific discipline. I don't know what you're reading at uni, so what you need to do might be completely different. I might also have been doing it wrong, though I never got marked down for it.

I try and break it down put all the different headings on different pages and maybe a little bit of criteria underneath that so as im writing i can see the different criteria i need to put in/take out. Also doing headings will help to give you a little bit of structure and it will be easier to know what you are writing.

I also try and do most if not ALL of my research before i start writing, i find finding journals/books etc. a long process sometimes takes longer than the actual assignment. So i try and get all my research done before i start writing pick out certain sections of the journals and pop them into a different word document that way when you are writing you can have your assignment one side of the page and the citations/quotations page the other side and it makes it easier to pop them into your assignment.

Reference as you go, I use a website called RefMe which is a great website which allows you to add your references and it does it for you in the Havard Format, you can add then manually, search for them and even scan the barcode on books and it does it all for you! It allows you to have different assignments going at one go and all under there own headings and then you can copy and paste it into your document and you have a Reference list which didnt take you hours!

I think thats it, what also helps me is doing a certain amount of it in certain amounts of time and giving yourself a break/reward when you've done it.

Hope that helps! xx

Write it by hand, then type it up online. Ideas come to me faster when I'm writing by hand.

that makes sense! what did you finish uni with?
and business management

A third I was doing really well and then I had a nervous breakdown in my honours year and just couldn't pick myself up in time.

oh no!

**** happens It led me to where I am now, and I'm pretty much where I want to be.

how did u manage that one lol

Well, having a third I couldn't get IT work, because it basically means I'm an acedemic failure. So, after being unemployed for a couple of years, I wrote a book. It's sold fairly well, and I'm making good progress with a follow-up.
