Week 2 - Assignment writing! Back again with the good stuff (;

Hey Guys! Back Again =)



If you've ever had trouble in the past finding good sources for your assignments, this is for you!

So, bear with me as I try enlighten you =)



First off, if you've ever wanted to write an assignment and actually do well in it, make sure your resources are legitimate! Trust me, them lecturers know!

In the past, or shall I say last semester, I missed out big time on getting a pass on one of my most important assignments, due to my poor choice of resources. Boom! Yes, shattering, I know but, I deserved it. It taught me an important lesson and now I know haha.



Secondly, Wikipedia is a no-no, if you have ever wanted to search for an article with legitimate references, try google scholar. Many research papers get are available there. So, that’s the first stop for me when finding references. I wish I knew that in my first year ;).



Thirdly, do some physical searching through a university library or public library if the university is not nearby. It’s incredible what you can find, if you actually go looking ;).



Lastly, seek knowledge from someone who has experience with the topic you wish to write about. This is something I wish I had done in my past papers and assignments. (The only thing that was stopping me was my shyness and pure laziness to be honest haha). But in all seriousness, asking an expert is a very good way to go in terms of knowledge of resources, as well as getting help with any assignments. And you could even ask if they can proofread your work! SO don't be like me and get too lazy, get off your behind and get socializing hehe ;)



There you go, short and sweet, and hopefully worth the read =)

If you don't know, now you know bloggers ;)
