There are some general points about preparation, writtenexpression and aspects of presentation, however, with which all students shouldbe familiar. Some of these points will be briefly dealt with in this section, but youshould refer to other relevant sources for greater depth of information on suchtopics.The techniques and principles involved in producing good written material aregeneralisable, however students should always follow unit outlines and lecturer’sdirections.3.1. The Structures of Written AssignmentsAssignment will vary in structure depending on their purpose and the disciplinefor which they are being written. It may take many forms such as essays, reports,literature reviews, annotated bibliographies or reflective journals. Most assignmentwill consist of an introduction, a body and a conclusion.
