Assignments
So you’ve chosen your assignment topic, thought about it a bit and now the deadline is looming and you’ve still got a blank page and blinking cursor in front of you…what do you do?
Head to the library!
Either online or physically. Start with your subject resource guides. Here you’ll find information on your assignment and possibly some recommended reading.
Then hit up the online guides and training – you can learn how to master endnote and have referencing sorted out and get some pointers on researching in our libraries.
Finally the books! Trawl the catalogue online, uncover some ebooks and journal articles, even reserve the physical books you need.
Consider making an appointment to catch a Learning Adviser or drop them an email. This could be extremely helpful in organising your thoughts structuring your arguments and tying the whole paper together. By logging onto Blackboard, clicking Learning Development then individual consultations, you can find all the information you need to know about Learning Advisers.
Drop into a PASS session. An informal study session run for students by students might be just the thing you need to get your thoughts and arguments in order.
Finally, get writing! Make sure you allow plenty of time to review.
