Expectations for an excellent assignment
• Analysis of literature and research: critical engagement, not just descriptive
analysis; logical development of argument; good use of the English language
making arguments clear and easy to follow; short sharp sentences.
• Synthesis and utilisation of Evidence: bringing together ideas after some
argument; reconceptualising ideas; using evidence from research to support or
refute assumptions; evidence of your own voice in the assignment
• Integration of theory and Practice: explaining clearly how models and
theoretical frameworks can be used to illuminate ideas, arguments, and
processes, employing own research to illuminate arguments and providing
justification for what you chose to do
• Structure: clarity and justification in the structure adopted; logic in the structure;
how the structure helps to sustain the central argument
• Presentation: accurate references both in text and at the end of the assignment;
good use of headings and subheadings to develop key ideas of the assignment;
must be double line spaced including quotations; long quotes must be indented;
short ones may be written in parenthesis with single quotation marks; when
indented, do not use quotation marks; always provide author, date and page for
any work directly quoted (e.g. Dyke 2009:36). Bold sub headings and headings.
I would like show you some feedback from my tutor for my last assignment which your group wrote:
– Sometimes you jump from point and then return to a previous point later on.
– Sometimes it seems you have tried to cover as many of the aspects of the research design as possible. When it would be better to give a deeper more extended critique of fewer point in order to demonstrate your critical skills more thoroughly.
– I would suggest you avoid dividing your account into a descriptive section as this makes it harder for you to show synthesis skills in your writing and to make clear links between the content of your core articles and your critique. Try to weave the critique and description together. That way the descriptive material you include has to earn its place by being directly related weave the critique and description together.
