How to Do My Coursework Right
If I want to do my coursework quickly and efficiently, then I need to have a plan. Whether I am writing an essay for History, term paper for English literature, or a dissertation for geography, I need to know how to do it right!

The most important part of the writing process is choosing a topic that appeals to you. A strong subject will help you understand the task and write an impressive paper.

Avoiding cliches
When you are writing, it is important to avoid cliches. These are phrases that have been used so often that they no longer mean anything to the reader or make any impression on them.

You can identify a cliche by reading through your text and paying close attention to the way it is worded. Does it evoke strong images in your mind? Does it make you want to yawn?

Unless you are using them as a plot device, cliches should be avoided. However, if you have to use them, be sure to replace them with original words and phrases.

Avoiding plagiarism
Plagiarism is a serious issue in academic writing that students need to understand and address. It can occur accidentally or intentionally, and the consequences are severe.

Educators are devoting quite a bit of energy to this problem, and new resources are emerging to help students avoid plagiarism when doing their coursework.

There are many ways to avoid plagiarism, including knowing how to integrate sources correctly and understanding the rules of your style guide.

Using citations correctly is one of the most important things you can do to prevent plagiarism. Make sure you include a citation for each source that you use, whether it’s direct quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing.

Getting the concept clear in your mind
One of the best ways to get the concept clear in your mind is to try and explain it in your own words. This can be done in a study group or on your own, but it is important to make connections between concepts as you speak so that you can retain the information later. Another way to do this is by drawing a concept map. Place an overriding idea in the center of your page and add lines and circles that contain new ideas.

Using up-to-date references
Whenever you use someone else's idea, whether it's from a journal article, textbook or website, you need to reference that source in order to make it clear where the information came from. This is known as referencing and it's a part of academic writing that can help you get the best marks for your work.

Your referencing style will vary depending on the type of information you're using, so check your programmed handbook or speak to your module leader for advice. They will tell you what information should be included, how it should be formatted (capitalization, italics etc.) and how to create a reference at the end of your work.

APA, MLA and other citation styles are used across the University, so check which one your School/Department prefers. Referencing is a two-step process - firstly, cite the information in your text and then expand on that citation in a full reference at the end of your work.
