Although good essay content ensures a pass in Assignment, it is not easy to get a high score. To write a high-quality Su group assignment requires not only solid academic knowledge, but also attention to some details. Here are some common mistakes students make and how to avoid them:
1. Focusing too much on the topic itself
Group assignments usually have a clear theme or range of topics rather than a specific proposition. Therefore, before writing, you first need to determine the title of your paper by narrowing down the topic. Instead of being too broad, you should focus on a more specific area of research.
2. Insufficient research
Insufficient research can affect the completion of the essay. If you don’t get enough data or information in time, it may lead to slower writing progress and the logic of the essay may become vague.
3. Over-exaggeration
High-quality writing is essential for Su group assignments. However, care needs to be taken to maintain an appropriate level of academic rigour and to try to keep a realistic and concise style of language.
Next, there are some practical writing tips:
(1) On each assertion, the source needs to be cited so that the argument can be proved to be the author’s own or another researcher’s.
(2) Refine the text by removing quotes that have no substance to ensure the brevity of the essay.
(3) Refrain from making points that are not supported by strong evidence.
(4) Explore the ideas of others moderately, but remove the essentials and avoid blindly piling up references.
(5) Understand the difference between direct and indirect citations and use inverted commas and footnote identifiers correctly.
For the citation of first-hand information, you should make sure that the citation matches the original text, and use inverted commas and indicate the source.
In the case of indirect quotations from first-hand sources, if they summarise the views of others, it is best to cite the achievements of others after making thorough examples, without the use of inverted commas and without indicating the source.
As for indirect citations from second-hand sources, if in the course of reading a certain book A, it is recognised that author B also has the same authoritative viewpoint, this form of citation can be used: “B (1989) has pointed out that ……”, and both of the previously mentioned A,B need to be be fully reflected in the references section.
I hope the above tips will help you to get high marks in your Su group assignment. Feel free to consult Mia anytime if you encounter difficulties in your study process!
