Structure: Tables and figures must be introduced in the text BEFORE they appear. You need to give the reader a context for interpreting them, and explain the main aspects of the figure or table you want the reader to take note of.

Sentence construction and grammar let many people down. At times it is difficult to understand just what was meant.

Take the time to proof-read for spelling, punctuation, tense, and whether you are contradicting yourself.

• Provide the title of your assignment at the top of the page

• Title the sections of the assignment

• Use tables and figures and label theses, making sure you also identify the named source and the date as a reference

• Write in an academic style - third person e.g. a review of information revealed ... not first person e.g. I think, I found

• Make sure all your suggestions and ideas are referenced if they are not your own

• Summarise information from books and websites, DO NOT COPY, unless providing a quote
