Assignment Writing and Presentation Guidelines.
There are three major areas to be considered when preparing an assignment – content, format and referencing
- Content
When writing a formal assignment, any headings should follow the APA style guide, should not be written in point form, but should follow a series of logical steps.
The first step, when writing an assignment, is to make sure you understand the essay topic and identify the main points to be answered within the paper
- Format
An assignment should be formatted in such a way that makes it a pleasure to read and grade. Untidy presentation and inconsistency in format can reduce the ease of reading the assignment and therefore make it difficult to assess the content. This can result in a reduced grade.
- Referencing
The Faculty of Nursing use the APA style for all referencing. Your citations and reference list MUST be set out correctly in this format.
Do not rely on the inbuilt APA formatting option which is available with many word processing programs – they do not all meet the requirements spelled out.
Different types of assignments
Essays – structuring an argument with evidence from literature in relation to specific modules
Reports – written in a structured way in response to a need for information
Critiques – comparing and contrasting material using critical thinking
Reflective writing– taking practice to learning (thinking critically about your nursing practice in relation to what you have learnt in the classroom)
Developing an effective writing style using a three-pronged strategy:
Use of straightforward language
Use of short or medium length sentences
Use of other people
Plagiarism:
The APA guide for referencing clearly indicates that one cannot present another’s ideas as his own. It must be noted that whether paraphrasing, quoting an author directly, or describing an idea that influenced your work, one must credit the source.
