Basic essay structure

Postgrad students taking notes and planning essay

Improve your writing

Organise your essays to demonstrate your knowledge, show your research and support your arguments

Essays are usually written in continuous, flowing, paragraphed text and don’t use section headings. This may seem unstructured at first, but good essays are carefully structured.

How your assignment content is structured is your choice. Use the basic pattern below to get started.

Essay structure

An essay consists of three basic parts:, introduction.

The essay itself usually has no section headings. Only the title page, author declaration and reference list are written as headings, along with, for example, appendices. Check any task instructions, and your course or unit handbook, for further details.

Content in assignment introductions can vary widely. In some disciplines you may need to provide a full background and context, whereas other essays may need only a little context, and others may need none.

An introduction to an essay usually has three primary purposes:

  • To set the scene
  • To tell readers what is important, and why
  • To tell the reader what the essay is going to do (signposting)

A standard introduction includes the following five elements:

  • A statement that sets out the topic and engages the reader.
  • The background and context of the topic.
  • Any important definitions, integrated into your text as appropriate.
  • An outline of the key points, topic, issues, evidence, ideas, arguments, models, theories, or other information, as appropriate. This may include distinctions or contrasts between different ideas or evidence.
  • A final sentence or two which tells the reader your focal points and aims.

You should aim to restrict your introduction to information needed for the topic and only include background and contextual information which helps the reader understand it, or sets the scene for your chosen focal points.

In most essays you will have a considerable range of options for your focus. You will be expected to demonstrate your ability to select the most relevant content to address your focal points.

There are some exceptions. For example, if an assignment brief specifically directs the essay focus or requires you to write broadly about a topic. These are relatively rare or are discipline-specific so you should check your task instructions and discipline and subject area conventions.

Below are examples of an opening statement, a summary of the selected content, and a statement at the end of the introduction which tells the reader what the essay will focus on and how it will be addressed. We've use a fictional essay.

The title of our essay is: 'Cats are better than dogs. Discuss.'

To submit this essay you also would need to add citations as appropriate.

Example of opening statements:

People have shared their lives with cats and dogs for millenia. Which is better depends partly on each animal’s characteristics and partly on the owner’s preferences.

Here is a summary of five specific topics selected for the essay, which would be covered in a little more detail in the introduction:

  • In ancient Egypt, cats were treated as sacred and were pampered companions.
  • Dogs have for centuries been used for hunting and to guard property. There are many types of working dog, and both dogs and cats are now kept purely as pets.
  • They are very different animals, with different care needs, traits and abilities.
  • It is a common perception that people are either “cat-lovers” or “dog-lovers”.
  • It is a common perception that people tend to have preferences for one, and negative beliefs about and attitudes towards, the other.

Example of closing statements at the end of the introduction:

This essay will examine both cats’ and dogs’ behaviour and abilities, the benefits of keeping them as pets, and whether people’s perceptions of their nature matches current knowledge and understanding.

Main body: paragraphs

The body of the essay should be organised into paragraphs. Each paragraph should deal with a different aspect of the issue, but they should also link in some way to those that precede and follow it. This is not an easy thing to get right, even for experienced writers, partly because there are many ways to successfully structure and use paragraphs. There is no perfect paragraph template.

The theme or topic statement

The first sentence, or sometimes two, tells the reader what the paragraph is going to cover. It may either:

  • Begin a new point or topic, or
  • Follow on from the previous paragraph, but with a different focus or go into more-specific detail. If this is the case, it should clearly link to the previous paragraph.

The last sentence

It should be clear if the point has come to an end, or if it continues in the next paragraph.

Here is a brief example of flow between two summarised paragraphs which cover the historical perspective:

It is known from hieroglyphs that the Ancient Egyptians believed that cats were sacred. They were also held in high regard, as suggested by their being found mummified and entombed with their owners (Smith, 1969). In addition, cats are portrayed aiding hunters. Therefore, they were both treated as sacred, and were used as intelligent working companions. However, today they are almost entirely owned as pets.

In contrast, dogs have not been regarded as sacred, but they have for centuries been widely used for hunting in Europe. This developed over time and eventually they became domesticated and accepted as pets. Today, they are seen as loyal, loving and protective members of the family, and are widely used as working dogs.

There is never any new information in a conclusion.

The conclusion usually does three things:

  • Reminds your readers of what the essay was meant to do.
  • Provides an answer, where possible, to the title.
  • Reminds your reader how you reached that answer.

The conclusion should usually occupy just one paragraph. It draws together all the key elements of your essay, so you do not need to repeat the fine detail unless you are highlighting something.

A conclusion to our essay about cats and dogs is given below:

Both cats and dogs have been highly-valued for millenia, are affectionate and beneficial to their owners’ wellbeing. However, they are very different animals and each is 'better' than the other regarding care needs and natural traits. Dogs need regular training and exercise but many owners do not train or exercise them enough, resulting in bad behaviour. They also need to be 'boarded' if the owner is away and to have frequent baths to prevent bad odours. In contrast, cats do not need this level of effort and care. Dogs are seen as more intelligent, loyal and attuned to human beings, whereas cats are perceived as aloof and solitary, and as only seeking affection when they want to be fed. However, recent studies have shown that cats are affectionate and loyal and more intelligent than dogs, but it is less obvious and useful. There are, for example, no 'police' or 'assistance' cats, in part because they do not have the kinds of natural instincts which make dogs easy to train. Therefore, which animal is better depends upon personal preference and whether they are required to work. Therefore, although dogs are better as working animals, cats are easier, better pets.

Structuring your assignment

Getting started with academic writing: the time model, information and videos on being targeted, being in-depth and bringing it all together, further reading, using material on this page.

Evidence-based

  • Bringing it all together
  • Finally ...

clock logo

  • Writing an assignment takes time, more time than you may expect.  Just because you find yourself spending many weeks on an assignment doesn’t mean that you’re approaching it in the wrong way.
  • It also takes time to develop the skills to write well, so don’t be discouraged if your early marks aren’t what you’d hoped for.  Use the feedback from your previous assignments to improve.
  • Different types of assignments require different styles, so be prepared for the need to continue to develop your skills.

We’ve broken down TIME into 4 key elements of academic writing: Targeted, In-depth, Measured and Evidence-based.

time togos

  • What is an academic piece of work

Target logo

Your assignment needs to be targeted .  It should:

  • Be focused on the questions and criteria
  • Make a decision
  • Follow an argument
  • How to be targeted
  • Academic keywords or clue words

in-depth logo

Your assignment needs to be in-depth .  You should consider your questions and criteria thoroughly, thinking about all possible aspects, and including the argument both for and against different viewpoints.

You should:

  • Identify topic areas
  • Plan your assignment
  • Think about your introduction and conclusion
  • How to be in-depth
  • How to read quickly

measured logo

An academic writing style is measured. By this, we mean that it’s:

  • Emotionally neutral
  • Formal – written in the third person and in full sentences
  • How to be measured

evidence-based logo

Your assignment needs to be evidence-based . You should:

  • Reference all the ideas in your work
  • Paraphrase your evidence
  • Apply critical thinking to your evidence
  • How to be evidence-based
  • How to paraphrase

Once you’ve found all your evidence, and have decided what to say in each section, you need to write it up as paragraphs.  Each paragraph should be on a single topic, making a single point.  A paragraph is usually around a third of a page. 

We find Godwin’s (2014) WEED model very helpful for constructing paragraphs.

W is for What

You should begin your paragraph with the topic or point that you’re making, so that it’s clear to your lecturer.  Everything in the paragraph should fit in with this opening sentence.

E is for Evidence  

The middle of your paragraph should be full of evidence – this is where all your references should be incorporated.  Make sure that your evidence fits in with your topic.

E is for Examples

Sometimes it’s useful to expand on your evidence.  If you’re talking about a case study, the example might be how your point relates to the particular scenario being discussed.

D is for Do

You should conclude your paragraph with the implications of your discussion.  This gives you the opportunity to add your commentary, which is very important in assignments which require you to use critical analysis. 

So, in effect, each paragraph is like a mini-essay, with an introduction, main body and conclusion.

Allow yourself some TIME to proofread your assignment.  You’ll probably want to proofread it several times. 

You should read it through at least once for sense and structure, to see if your paragraphs flow.  Check that your introduction matches the content of your assignment.  You’ll also want to make sure that you’ve been concise in your writing style. 

You’ll then need to read it again to check for grammatical errors, typos and that your references are correct.

It’s best if you can create some distance from your assignment by coming back to it after a few days. It’s also often easier to pick out mistakes if you read your work aloud.

  • How to proofread
  • Identifying what the assessment criteria is asking you to do (being targeted/generating ideas)
  • Planning your argument (b eing in-depth/organising ideas)
  • Structuring paragraphs, conclusions and introductions (b ringing it all together)

A simple but effective guide to writing a perfect assignment

Your guide to the perfect assignment

The idea of writing assignments can be daunting; feeling under pressure, and unsure of if you've prepared enough to tackle the question effectively. Remember it does not have to be like this; the most important thing is to start – and start early.

Starting your assignment in good time will allow you to keep looming deadline pressures down. This should help you to maintain a better headspace; which will increase your ability to focus.

Keep reading for our quick guide to writing assignments; perfect for all levels. We recommend you also read the more detailed ABE Assignment Guide document below and, of course, work closely with your ABE tutors.

1. Read the Question

This may seem like an obvious step, but it is one that is often overlooked. Many of us do not take the time to carefully read the assignment question, and instead, skim-read. This can be risky as although you may have identified some of the keywords you think are important, you need to fully understand what is being asked and what answer the examiner is looking for.

Read our guide to command words here:

It is easy to get carried away and delve into writing your assignment without really answering the question. A good way to avoid this is to take some time to consider the keywords within the question and what they are prompting you to do. Understanding directive words such as 'evaluate', 'discuss', and 'explain', are vital when writing an assignment, as they provide instruction on how you are supposed to answer the question. It is a good idea to highlight or underline these words within the question, to help you keep them in mind as you progress through your assignment.

Sometimes the question can be written in a manner that makes it appear more intimidating than it is. Once you have read (and re-read) the question, you may find that what is being asked is actually quite straightforward. You may also benefit from rewriting it in a way that you are able to process the instructions  better .

2. Research & Planning

Carefully researching and planning your assignment will give you a structure to follow when it comes to writing it. Research and planning will allow you to be better prepared and could make the difference between a mediocre piece of work and an exceptional one.

This is your chance to consider any specifications for the assignment such as word count, the points you would like to include, and how it needs to be set out.

When planning the points for your assignment it is important to understand what you are working towards. You should refer to the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for the assignment to help you with this. You can find these on the assignment brief as well as within the syllabus, in your Study Guide or in the Qualification Specification document for your course.  

As well as researching the topic, it is also a good idea to find good source materials to include in your assignments beforehand. It's a good idea to do wider reading from reputable sources to gain different perspectives to support your answer.

3. Structure

Before you start, it can help to create an assignment structure. This can be as detailed as you like but the basic structure should be your introduction, key arguments and points, and your planned conclusion.

Introduction

This refers to a short paragraph that explains what you are going to be discussing. It should outline your argument and reference the key issues within the question.

This is where you should focus on structuring your argument. You may need to compare or critically evaluate two or more different methods or theories to explain your choices or recommendations. Examiners are looking to see if you can analyse information and make decisions accordingly. You should make sure that your ideas and claims are supported with research when required.

-   When you start to discuss a new idea, you should start another paragraph

- When using a lot of different sources for supporting evidence, it can be easy to forget to add them to your reference list. To avoid this, reference as you go along

The conclusion is your final chance to summarise what you have discussed. You should be careful not to introduce new points that you did not mention within your assignment. A good conclusion will leave a lasting impression on the examiner, so make it count.

- Recap the key points in your assignment, including supporting evidence if needed.

4. Drafting

Ask your teacher for feedback by submitting the first draft of your assignment a few weeks before the final hand-in date. This will help you improve your assignment before submitting your final version.

- Make sure it is your own work; although your teacher can give you some advice on how to improve your work, you must write the assignment yourself

5. Proofread

Editing and proofreading can help you to improve your assignment even after you’ve finished writing it. Before doing this, it is important to get some distance from your work. Taking a short break will help you to come back and check it over with fresh eyes.

When proofreading, as well as grammatical; and spelling errors; you should be checking that the structure of your assignment is clear and that you have properly addressed all of the question.

- It can often be difficult to see mistakes in your own work, if possible ask a friend or family member to proofread your assignment for you

- Refer back to the assignment objectives; have you answered the question?

- Make sure that your assignment reads well, and that you are within the word count

6. Plagiarism & Referencing

Not taking the time out to reference properly is the biggest way to lose marks on an assignment. When using books, cases and journals you must reference to show where you got your information from.

When writing ABE assignments, you should use  Harvard Referencing  to correctly cite information sources and include a bibliography at the end. Citations should be listed in alphabetical order by the author’s last name. If there are multiple sources by the same author, then citations are listed in order by the date of publication. Also, read the ABE Assignment Guide for more helpful information about referencing.

Using your own words, and correctly citing information sources mentioned within your assignment will help you ensure you have not committed  plagiarism .

- Use anti-plagiarism software such as  Quetext  to check your work before submission, to pick up any risk of plagiarism. Your examiner will also be checking for plagiarism when marking; remember it’s not worth the risk – your assignment could be rejected if you get caught.  

Writing assignments is something most of us cannot avoid; following these steps should make the process a lot easier. 

We wish you every success. Do share any top tips of your own.

Happy writing.

Formatting your assignments

Illustrated step-by-step guides to help you understand the formatting and presentation expectations of university assignments.

A student working on a laptop

Introduction 

Although formatting your essay, report or dissertation can feel like a lesser priority than the process of research and writing itself, it is an important way to ensure your ideas are given the spotlight through visually accessible, professional presentation. Formatting can be a minefield, especially when you’re formatting at the last minute; it’s important to leave a few days at the end of your essay writing process for working on your formatting, and to spend some time familiarising yourself with the different aspects of formatting.

301 Recommends:

Our Essay Structure and Planning workshop will outline how to analyse your essay question, discuss approaches logically structure all your ideas, help you make your introductions and conclusions more effective, and teach how to link your ideas and ensure all essay content flows logically from the introduction.

Below, you will find some general introductions to the key areas. 

Action: know the rules 

Because formatting rules can vary greatly depending on your department or assignment, it’s crucial to check the formatting specifications in your assignment description/rubric, and any general departmental presentation standards, as a first port of call. Many referencing systems also have specific rules about how to format your work, so make sure to familiarise yourself with the university library’s referencing guides . Many referencing systems also have more detailed style guides available via their websites.

Formatting key information  

Assignment cover sheets .

In some departments, you may be expected to include a cover sheet on the front page of your assignment. This is a page including key information about your assignment, such as your module number, student registration number, essay title, and submission date.

You may be asked to submit a plagiarism declaration and to make your markers aware of any disabilities through the yellow sticker system . If you are asked to include a cover sheet in your assignment, your department should make you aware of where you can access this.

Assignment titles

Place your assignment title at the top of your first page, either centre or left aligned, in bold font. At university, you may be assigned a pre-designed essay title/question, or asked to select from several possible titles. You may also be asked to design your own essay title. Here are some top tips on designing your own title:

  • To bring focus to your essay, draft a working title at the essay planning stage. You can come back and review this title in light of your finished essay draft.
  • Make sure to use action words in your essay title that reflect the skills your assessors are looking for, both in the assignment description and the marking criteria you have been given. For example, if heavy emphasis is placed on critical analysis, you could use a title like ‘Analyse the effect of…’ See this glossary of essay terms , containing examples that you can use in your own titles. 
  • The action words you choose can also help you to reflect the structure of the essay in your question. For example, an essay using the action word ‘Discuss’ might use a for/against/conclusion or advantages/disadvantages/conclusion structure, or an essay using the term ‘Analyse’ might break an issue down into parts, e.g. into key themes, to understand its meaning as a whole. Think about the type of essay you want to write: do you want it to be comparative, look at several topics equally, or do you have a clear argument that you want to put forward? You can then create a question that gives you the opportunity to approach the topic from your own perspective.
  • Make sure to include the main terminology you are working with in your assignment title.
  • Make sure your question has a realistic scope, without being so broad that you cannot answer it within the limitations of your essay. To limit your question, you could include any limiting factors you are working with, such as specific time periods, geographical regions or sub-themes within the overall topic area. For example, in the title ‘Evaluate the proposition that a global monoculture will destroy diversity and difference’, the broad topic of global monoculture is limited down through a specific sub-focus on diversity and difference.

Stating word counts 

Depending on the instructions you have been given, you may be asked to state your word count, either on your cover sheet or at the beginning of your essay. If you are asked to include this information, make sure your word count accurately reflects the assessment guidance: for example, are references included in your word count?

Visual clarity  

Line spacing .

Most assignment descriptions specify that you should increase the space between each line on the page, from the standard 1.0 spacing to either 1.5 or 2.0 spacing. You are asked to do this to make the essay more visually accessible and easier to read, by breaking up the number of lines on each page. 

Download this step-by-step illustrated guide to line spacing in Microsoft Word and Google Docs.

Fonts 

All non-examination based assignments should be word processed rather than handwritten. Most assignment descriptions will specify that for visual clarity, and to ensure a professional appearance, you should use a plain, sans-serif font such as Arial. For readability, this should be in 11 or 12 point size. Check your departmental or assignment guidance for any specific rules about font choices. 

Page numbering, headers and footers  

Including page numbers in your assignments makes them more accessible. Depending on the departmental guidance you have been given, you may be asked to include these in either the header or the footer of your essay (the blank space above and below where the text would go on a normal page in a word processor). It may also be helpful to include your registration number and the module code of the essay in the same header or footers that specify the page number. 

Download this step-by-step illustrated guide to adding page numbers and using headers and footers in Microsoft Word and Google Docs. 

Page layout   

Margins .

A margin is the amount of blank space on either side of a paragraph in a normal word processor. Traditionally, assignment descriptions specified that the margins should be made wider at the binding edge (the left hand side) of the page, to allow for easier reading of printed essays. However, with the shift to online essays, you might not be asked to do this any more and the default settings on your word processor are likely to be sufficiently wide.

For printed dissertations and theses, you may receive specific guidance about the suitable layout of margins, as these are more likely to be printed: see this university guide on formatting PhD theses . 

Download this step-by-step illustrated guide to adjusting margins in Microsoft Word and Google Docs.

Paragraph alignment 

Most formatting instructions specify that paragraphs should be lined up in a straight line (aligned) on the left hand edge, but left jagged on the right hand edge (like this page). This is called left alignment, or flush-left style, and should be the default alignment setting for your word processor. This style can be helpful for visual accessibility, but check any specific instructions you have been given by your department to see which style of alignment you have been asked to use. 

Download this step-by-step illustrated guide to adjusting paragraph alignment in Microsoft Word and Google Docs.  

Paragraph indentation

You may be asked to add indents to your paragraphs: an indent is an additional small gap between the margin and the beginning of a paragraph (it makes a ‘dent’ in the first line of your paragraph). Indents are used to provide extra clarification that the reader is starting a new paragraph after finishing the last one: therefore, they should not be used in the first paragraph of your essay. Indents are not always required, and whether you are expected to use them may depend on your referencing style , and any formatting instructions you have been given by your department.

Download this step-by-step illustrated guide to indenting paragraphs in Microsoft Word and Google Docs.

Formatting referenced material 

Footnotes and endnotes .

Some referencing systems require you to use footnotes or endnotes to format your references (make sure to check the library’s referencing guide to familiarise yourself with the expected format of your referencing style). Inserting a footnote into your word document when you have cited from a source adds a superscript number (a number formatted in a smaller font) to the sentence. It creates a note with a matching number at the bottom of the page you are working on (in the footer), which you can add the reference information to.

Endnotes work in the same way, but instead of appearing at the bottom of the page, the reference list appears at the end of the document.

Download this step-by-step illustrated guide to manually inserting footnotes and endnotes in Microsoft Word and Google Docs.  

References and bibliographies  

Instead of, or alongside footnotes/endnotes, some referencing systems ask you to include a bibliography and/or a reference list at the end of the essay (make sure to check the library’s referencing guide to familiarise yourself with the expected format of your referencing style). A reference list is a list of all the sources you have directly referred to in the essay, which could be ordered numerically or alphabetically, depending on your referencing style.

A bibliography could be used alongside, or instead of, a reference list, depending on your referencing style; here, you list all the sources you have consulted that have influenced your ideas, whether they are included in the essay or not. The way this is ordered also depends on your referencing style. 

If you auto-generate your citations in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, you can auto-generate your bibliography instead of creating it manually: instructions for doing so are in the resource below. If you use a different reference manager, such as Mendeley, Zotero, or Endnote, these have their own specific instructions for auto-generating bibliographies. See the reference management resources offered by the university. 

Download this step-by-step illustrated guide to manually or automatically formatting a bibliography or reference list in Microsoft Word and Google Docs.

Block quotations  

When you need to include a quotation in your essay that is three or more lines long, you can add this as a block quotation. A block quotation appears on a separate line to the other parts of the paragraph, and is indented (i.e. there is a wider gap between a block quotation and the left-hand margin than there is between the rest of the paragraph and the left-hand margin). Block quotations aren’t placed in quotation marks, so the indentation is used to indicate that you are using a quotation.

Check your referencing guide and any departmental guidance to learn more about the specific rules on formatting block quotations in your department. Because they take up large chunks of your word count, and break up the flow of your texts, make sure to use block quotations sparingly: they are especially helpful when you are going to perform close analysis of a large section of text. For more information on different types of quotation and how to use them, see our workshop on paraphrasing and using academic sources.

Download this step-by-step illustrated guide to formatting block quotations in Microsoft Word and Google Docs.

Advanced formatting 

Headings and contents tables .

Most standard short essays do not include headings, other than the essay title and reference list and/or bibliography. Section headings may be required for some longer or more structured types of academic writing, such as reports; reports often follow a very closely prescribed structure, so it is essential to pay very careful attention to the specific guidelines issued with your brief. Make sure that any system you use for numbering your headings and subheadings is consistently applied throughout the document.

Depending on the advice you have been given, and the length and complexity of a lab report, you may also be required to include a table of contents to help the reader navigate between headings. Contents tables are generally standard practice in longer assignments such as dissertations and theses. Make sure to check any departmental guidance you have been given about formatting reports.

Download this step-by-step illustrated guide to formatting headings and contents tables in Microsoft Word and Google Docs.

301 Recommends: Scientific Writing and Lab Reports Workshop

This workshop  will help you to familiarise yourself with some of the specific expectations associated with this assignment format.

Figures and tables 

Some kinds of essays, dissertations and reports will require you to make use of figures (pictures, diagrams, and graphs) and tables (any data in a table format). Figures and tables are normally numbered in sequence, e.g. ‘Table 1’, ‘Figure 4’, and are directly referred to in the text according to their number, rather than according to their location on the page (e.g. ‘as shown in Table 2’ rather than ‘as shown below’). 

If your text is of dissertation or thesis length, or if your text has several figures, it may also be helpful to include a list of figures immediately after the table of contents. Some referencing guides have specific rules about presenting and referencing tables and figures, so make sure to familiarise yourself with these and carefully read any specific instructions about figures and tables in your assignment brief. 

Download this step-by-step illustrated guide to inserting figures and tables and creating lists of figures/tables in Microsoft Word and Google Docs.

Top tips for formatting tables and figures:

  • Make sure that any tables or figures you use are placed below the paragraph where you refer to them, and that you have directly referred to all figures and tables in the text of the essay.
  • The caption for a table usually acts as its title, so this is placed above the table in the document. The caption for a figure is usually placed underneath the figure. Do not include unnecessary additional titles in the graph image itself, if the title is already included in your image caption. 
  • Make sure to label your captions consistently, choosing between ‘Fig.’ or ‘Figure’ and consistently using either a full stop or a colon after the label (i.e. ‘Figure 1:’ or ‘Fig. 1.’) 
  • Your caption should clearly and succinctly explain what the figure or table is. If the figure is taken from an external source, you must provide a reference that accurately reflects its copyright status (see these university library guides to inserting and attributing images and figures in university work). 
  • Make sure to include legends in any charts you use (a key that helps to explain the data in the chart). Any data series you use should be clearly distinguishable from each other (e.g. avoid printing a report with coloured graphs in black and white!) If you are only using one series of data, a legend is not always necessary. 
  • Make sure tables are clear and easy to read, using sans serif fonts, a readable font size, and avoiding unnecessary use of colour. 
  • Make sure graphs are clear and easy to read, with clearly and appropriately labelled axes. Be wary of 3D effects that may obscure the clarity of a graph.
  • Make sure to avoid presenting the same information in a graph and a table.
  • Images and figures in printed essays, such as dissertations and theses, should be large enough for the text and numbers to be legible on the printed copy. Make sure they do not extend beyond the print margins of the document. 

301 Recommends: Displaying Data in Graphs and Tables Workshop

This workshop will provide more technical advice on using graphs and tables in your work. See also this Engineering department guidance on formatting graphs and tables in Engineering lab reports.

Appendices 

Appendices commonly appear in dissertations, theses, and lab reports. An appendix provides supporting information that gives the reader a better understanding of the essay, but that might be too long, detailed or awkward to insert into the main body of the essay without breaking up its flow. Interview questions or transcripts, sample questionnaires, raw data, figures, photographs, large/complex datasets, and diagrams are all examples of information that could be included in an appendix, if it is relevant to do so.

The reader should be able to understand the essay without reference to this supporting information, as all the most important and relevant information needed to answer the question should be included in the body (i.e., the appendix should not be used to make room for content that doesn’t fit within your word count). Your appendices must be clearly signposted and explained in the body of your report, highlighting any information that is essential for your reader to understand. Do not include any appendices that are not referenced in the text itself.

The appendices should be placed in numerical or alphabetical order, and signposted according to this specific system (e.g. ‘Appendix B indicates that…’) They should be clearly labelled, using headings that match up to the in-text reference. Appendices usually appear at the very end of the assignment, after your references/bibliography. Make sure to list any appendices used in your table of contents; if you have been instructed to do so by your department or within your referencing system, you could include a list of appendices separate to your contents list. 

The specific format of the appendix heading, and the reference made to the appendix in the text, depends on your referencing style , so make sure to carefully review this information before you design your appendices.

Tips and resources

  • Use this 301 proofreading checklist to check over your work when you are finished.
  • Use the University Library referencing guide for advice about referencing and formatting that is specific to your referencing style. If you need extra clarification about formatting rules, it is often possible to download an extended style guide from the official website for a specific referencing system. 
  • For further training on referencing, using reference generators, and using images in your work, see the University Library workshop programme .

Types of assignment.

Many assignments need to be written in the form of an essay. The structure of essay-style assignments varies but should generally include an introduction, a main body and a conclusion. You'll find detailed guidance under the Assessment tab of your module website for each assignment. The following is a general list of sections you should include:

  • introduction
  • references.

Each of these is discussed in more detail.

You should write the full question (title) at the top of your assignment. It'll contain keywords (known as content and process words).  Understanding the question  has more information on these.

  • Introduction

An introduction provides your reader with an overview of what your essay will cover and what you want to say. It's generally a paragraph or two to define key terms and themes and indicate how you intend to address the question. It should:

  • set out the aims of the assignment and signpost how your argument will unfold
  • introduce the issue(s) and give any essential background information
  • include major debates that lie behind the question
  • define the keywords and terms used in the question/title
  • be between 5% and 10% of the total word count.

Some students prefer to write the introduction at an early stage, others wait until they've almost completed the assignment. If you write it early, don't allow it to constrain what you want to write. It's a good idea to check and revise the introduction after the first draft.

The main body of your essay should present your case. Each main point should have its own paragraph and be written in full sentences. You should use evidence to support the arguments you make in this section, referencing your sources appropriately.

You can set out the issues and supporting evidence whichever way you feel is appropriate for the essay. You may find more guidance on this on your module website but in general you can choose to:

  • deal with all of the supporting and all of the challenging evidence separately
  • take each issue in turn, describing and evaluating it before moving on to the next issue
  • describe all the issues first before moving on to your evaluation of them.

How to order your arguments

Although you'll need to clearly describe the issues related to the essay title (for example the concepts and theoretical positions), you're expected to go further than mere description. An essay question might expect you to take one of the following approaches.

  • Make an argument by examining competing positions. This type of essay requires you to make a balanced and well-argued case for the strength of one position over another.
  • Present an unbiased discussion. You might do this by comparing and contrasting things (such as arguments put forward by individual scholars).
  • Explain something in a discursive way to explore all the elements involved in a particular concept or theory in an even-handed way.

In all cases, you'll be expected to:

  • clearly describe what your essay is trying to do and define any essential terms
  • present an argument that is balanced
  • base any conclusions you draw on evidence
  • present evidence using references to the original published work.

Your conclusion should be a short section to sum up how your essay has answered the question, reinforce your introduction, and include a reference to the wording of the title. Try to focus on the question but avoid repeating what you wrote in the introduction.

If your essay has presented evidence or data, ensure that the conclusions you draw are valid in light of that evidence and data. Draw your conclusions cautiously: use phrases such as 'the evidence suggests that ...', or 'one interpretation is that ...' rather than 'this proves that ...'.

Your conclusion should:

  • summarise the key elements of your argument clearly and concisely
  • demonstrate how you've answered the question
  • perhaps suggest what needs to be considered in the future.

It should not:

  • include any new arguments, ideas or examples
  • be too long, for an assignment of fewer than 1,500 words a conclusion of 50-100 words is probably enough
  • repeat examples, phrases or sentences from the main body of your essay.

You should include a list of sources (including module materials) that are mentioned in the essay. Find out more in the OU library's  referencing and plagiarism  area.

Adding an appendix or appendices

Whether you can or can't add appendices to an essay depends on your module or assignment. You need to check with your tutor when and how an appendix can be added to an assignment.

Assessment & Feedback: Types of Assessment

  • Types of Assessments
  • Presentations
  • Poster Presentations
  • Understanding your assessment task
  • Assessment Criteria
  • Interpreting & implementing feedback

What types of assessment will I do?

Essays and exams are traditional types of assessment that you might have encountered, but at university there is a wide range of assessment types that will often be different depending on the discipline you are studying.  Coursework is quite broad and course specific, ranging from traditional essays to vlogs, poster presentations, leaflets, policy briefs, business reports and much more. Depending on your course, you might also attend field trips, conduct work labs or studios, complete internships or attend clinical placements.

Your assessments will be either summative or formative.

What is a summative assessment? Summative means that assessment is designed for you to show how you meet the learning outcomes of the course and is weighted towards your final grade.
What is a formative assessment? Formative is to help you practice and the best opportunity for you to get feedback.

Below are some examples of assessments you may do. This is not an exhaustive list and you may encounter some other types depending on your discipline.

You can find detailed assessment guides for the following;

  • Academic Writing
  • Dissertations

Types of assessments

  • Case Studies
  • Research Proposals
  • Lab Reports

An essay is a traditional approach to academic assessment, a structured piece of written of work based on meeting learning outcomes/ assessment criteria using academic standards of writing. You may be asked to write different types of essays throughout your course.

Argument essays

  • Argument or argumentative essays are similar to discussion essays in that you have to explore different sides of an argument. 
  • However, the argumentative essay will focus more on one aspect of the argument, so you will have to find strong evidence to support your line of argument.
  • This does not mean that you can ignore counter arguments, but it does mean that you have to try and persuade the reader that you are making a good case.

Compare and Contrast essays

  • Compare and contrast essays explore the similarities and differences of two or more things (e.g., two theories, methods or historical periods)
  • There are two main ways to structure this kind of essay using a block approach or a point-by-point approach.
  • The block approach involves giving all the arguments for and against for one subject first before moving on to consider all the arguments for and against for another subject. 
  • The point-by-point structure considers all similarities and differences for one subject. 
  • The point-by-point structure is generally clearer because it ensures that similarities and differences are stated immediately.

Reflective Essays

  • Reflective writing is common in practical courses such as education and health.
  • In this kind of writing, you may have to explore the relationship between theory and your own professional practice.  
  • It may also involve personal reflection on your experiences of an aspect of practice using a particular model of reflection (e.g., Gibbs or Kolb’s Reflective Cycle).
  • As with all assignments, essay requirements can vary, so study the essay instructions very carefully.
  • A case study requires you to analyse a specific situation and to explore how its different characteristics relate to theory, legislation and professional standards.  
  • The case may refer to a real-life or hypothetical event, organisation, individual or group of people and/or issue.  
  • Sometimes, you may have to think of solutions or recommendations for future action.
  • Make sure you check the assessment task very carefully so that you are clear on the exact nature of the task and of the case study itself.
  • The structure of case study can vary from discipline to discipline but may include a Table of contents—Introduction—Discussion/Analysis—Conclusion—Reference List—Appendices.
  • A report is a structured document that provides information, such as factual data, insights and recommendations, about a particular topic, issue, event, or subject matter.
  • It is typically written to convey the findings, analysis, and conclusions of a research study, investigation, or inquiry.
  • Reports are often used in disciplines such as accounting, finance or management and marketing.
  • They often focus on case studies from the real world of business and require you to apply theory to real-world situations in order to explore problems and to suggest solutions or make recommendations.
  • If a simulated situation is being used as the basis for your report, you may have to think carefully about your audience (e.g., the CEO of a company) and how this may affect your report.
  • As with all assessment types, read the task carefully and structure your report accordingly.

You can find more guidance on reports here .

A portfolio is a collection of work that you have created and compiled over a period of time.  It helps to demonstrate your skills and abilities, as it makes your learning or artistic/academic development more concrete and visible. 

These are often produced as part of a project or placement, consisting of a collection of writing produced on a regular basis and then collated together into one larger piece of work.

Depending on whether your portfolio is part of your course assessment or developed for prospective employers, your portfolio should:

  • Demonstrate your engagement in higher levels of thinking through enquiry and reflection
  • Display your level of artistic/intellectual skill
  • Present your capacity to translate your life experiences, including work, education, community service, extra-curricular or travel into evidence or artifact for learning and creativity
  • Serve as an interesting conversation starter that will help you stand out as an artist or practitioner.

You can find more guidance on portfolios here .

Presentations require you to usually produce a visual element such as a poster/ creative artefact/ PowerPoint as well as verbally present your work. This may be on your own or as part of a group.

You can find more guidance and support on Presentations here .

For guidance on Poster Presentations please check here .

  • A research proposal is usually a concise summary or overview of your proposed research.
  • It outlines the central questions you intend to explore and provides a brief review of the literature in your chosen area.
  • In other words, it provides the reader with a good idea of what is already known about the research area.
  • A typical structure might include an introduction – literature review – methodology and reference list.

You can find more information on research proposals here .

  • The requirements for dissertations may vary from subject to subject, so always check with your department before you begin.
  • It involves an extensive review of existing literature and research, the formulation of a hypothesis or research objective, data collection, analysis, and interpretation of findings.
  • Find out as much as you can, for example the word count and any requirements regarding structure.
  • Longer pieces of writing like this may contain a number of different sections including an abstract—introduction—Literature review—Results—Discussion –Conclusion—References—Appendices.
  • For extended pieces of writing and research, it is important to manage your time and your workload as effectively as possible.

You can find more information about dissertations here .

  • Laboratory reports are also called scientific or experimental reports and they represent an important assessment type in the sciences.
  • Typically, laboratory reports document the reasons for conducting experiments – the procedure or methodology used – the results or findings from the experiment—a discussion about the implications of the findings and finally a conclusion and recommendations.
  • Laboratory reports should be clearly written so that, in theory, the reader could replicate the same experiment.
  • A blog can be seen as a collection of short writings, often posted online format, on a regular basis.
  • When creating blogs for academic purpose the assignment brief often requires you to focus on reflective writing about a particular topic or practice or project.

Vlogs is short for video blogs which are visual recording of you academically discussing a given topic/s. You are often still expected to use academic and/ or professional language as well as keep to academic standards by ensuring what you are talking about is backed by evidence and references.

The requirements and guidance for video assignments will be given to you by your course tutor. You may be producing a video on your own or with a small group of peers. The content of the video will depend on the individual assignment.

To do well in your assignments, you will need to analyse your assignment briefs carefully.

The purpose of this handout is to:

  • Provide you with an effective strategy for analysing assignment briefs
  • Demonstrate the strategy on an example assignment brief
  • Give you the opportunity to practice the strategy on further examples

The example briefs may not be from your subject area. However, as you will see, the strategy we demonstrate will be useful for almost all assignment briefs.

Using a strategy

When your markers write an assignment brief, they choose their words carefully in order to communicate their expectations. Therefore, a structured analysis of your assignment brief gives you the best chance of writing a successful assignment.

In almost every brief, there will be words and phrases that:

  • Direct you towards the kinds of thinking and writing you need to demonstrate;
  • Advise on what the content should be.

There may also be words and phrases that:

  • Inform your approach ;
  • Give you clues about how your writing should be organised and presented .

Therefore, an effective strategy is to highlight words and phrases in these categories so that you are able to take note of them. This handout uses an example assignment brief to walk you through this process.

Step 1. Highlight directive words

Directive words prompt you to engage in the kinds of thinking and writing you need to demonstrate in the assignment.

Directive words may include:

Verbs like evaluate , analyse , explain , recommend and illustrate .

Sometimes these words may be in the present tense:

e.g. “… illustrating your points with examples”

  • The result of actions:

Words like evaluation , analysis , explanation , and illustration tell you the output of the kind of thinking your markers are looking for. These are called nominalised verbs.

These kinds of words are paired with others like write , conduct , include or produce :

For example:

  • ‘write an explanation’
  • ‘conduct an analysis’
  • ‘include an illustration’
  • ‘produce an evaluation’

There is no need to highlight words like write and include .

  • A special case:

You may also see words and phrases like use, utilise, draw on and apply. These words usually precede words and phrases that will inform your approach. Highlight these in a different colour.

In the example brief, there are several directive words:

Using the IKEA case study provided and at least one theory from the module, produce a critical analysis and evaluation of IKEA’s recruitment policies.

Discuss potential approaches that IKEA could implement to improve its recruitment practices.

Step 2. Highlight content words

After highlighting the directive verbs, use a different colour highlighter to identify the content words—i.e. the content you are expected to write about.

In the example, the content words are highlighted in green:

Using the IKEA case study provided and at least one theory from the module, produce a critical analysis and evaluation of IKEA’s recruitment policies .

Discuss potential approaches that IKEA could implement to improve its recruitment practices .

If you are analysing a complex assignment brief, it can often be useful to identify the pairings of directive words and content words.

In the example brief, there are three pairs of directive and content words:

Directive word(s):    critical analysis

Content words:        IKEA’s recruitment policies

                                     

Directive word(s):    evaluation

Directive word(s):    discuss

Content words:        potential approaches that IKEA could implement to improve its recruitment practices

Once you have identified the content words/phrases , these should be the focus of your reading and research. The directive words allow you to identify the kinds of questions you will need to be thinking about as you read.

For instance, in the example brief, the markers have asked you to discuss potential approaches . Therefore, as you read about a potential approach, you will need to be asking questions like:

  • What are the different points of view about this approach?
  • What evidence is there for these points of view?
  • What are the approach’s strengths and weaknesses?
  • What are the implications of this approach?
  • What is my point of view?

Step 3. Highlight words that inform your approach

Some briefs may include words and phrases that are designed to inform your strategy or approach towards the assignment. These tend to be in two categories:

  • Tools and resources you should use.

These may include:

  • Types of evidence/data
  • Case studies
  • Specific personal experiences (e.g. for a reflective assignment)
  • Limits or boundaries you must stay within
  • The number of theories, models, etc. to include
  • The types/categories of examples, models, theories, etc. to consider

Not all briefs are prescriptive in this way. However, you will still need to consider whether and how you should use these kinds of tools in order to write an effective answer.

In the example below, the words/phrases designed to inform your approach are all highlighted in blue:

Using the IKEA case study provided and at least one theory from the module , produce a critical analysis and evaluation of IKEA’s recruitment policies.

Even though sources are not mentioned in this example brief, all assignments at university will need to make use of high-quality, relevant sources, such as journal articles and academic books.

However, remember that different disciplines (and also assignments) may require you to make use of different types of sources. If in doubt, discuss your choice of sources with your lecturer or your academic liaison librarian.  You can find who this is for your discipline at this link: https://libguides.coventry.ac.uk/all .

If your brief asks you to choose a theory, model, case study, etc., you will first need to identify your options. Start by reviewing the material from your lectures and the reading list to identify appropriate options. It can also often be a good idea to discuss your options with your tutor.

Once you have identified your options, you will need to identify the best one(s) for your assignment. You will want to consider their relevance, usefulness, and whether they are accepted within your field. Depending on the assignment, you may need to justify your choice in your writing.

Step 4. Highlight words related to organisation and presentation

You will already be aware that your assignment will have a word count. However, you may also be given further direction about how to organise and present your assignment.

For example, the brief may be explicit about the genre you are expected to produce. You may be asked to write any of the following genres:

  • Research proposal
  • Project proposal
  • Reflective log
  • Annotated bibliography
  • Literature review
  • Dissertation
  • Presentation
  • Academic poster

This is not an exhaustive list. There is a wide range of academic genres you may be asked to write at university. Each genre is organised and presented in conventional ways, which may vary from discipline to discipline. You will find useful information about genres in many of the books about academic writing in the Study Skills Section of the library.

Your markers may also have provided a structure (i.e. a set of sections) for your assignment. When analysing the brief, remember to highlight whether this structure is mandatory or simply a suggestion:

  • If the structure is mandatory, you must use the structure in the brief. If you fail to do so, you will lose marks.  
  • If the structure is a suggestion, try generating your own ideas first. Develop a structure that makes sense to you, then compare your structure with theirs. You can use your structure, theirs or a hybrid. Just make sure your choice is appropriate for the genre, logical, coherent, and allows you to fully answer the brief.

How to start an assignment

At university you are being taught to distinguish the relevant from the irrelevant and to prioritise the content of each of your assignments.

To do this you need to align the subject matter of your work to the module learning outcomes which you are expected to achieve the assignment set. The way you interpret the learning outcomes and choose the topics you are going to address in your work demonstrates your understanding of the brief you have been given.  

You have been given an assignment brief

  • Understand the brief.  The Terms and Definitions factsheet may help.  You need to develop your use of academic language.
  • Find the learning outcomes that you must achieve to pass. These are on the module descriptor which is held on eVision.  For some subjects there may also be a list of professional competencies and/or standards of practice.  If this information is not available, you need to discuss this with your tutor.  Do not assume that you need to address all the learning outcomes in each assignment in the module.
  • Mind map the assignment topic area.  Using the learning outcomes and brief cross out anything that is not relevant.  Prioritise the topics you have left from the most down to the least important.
  • Understand what your tutor is expecting to see, for example, have you been asked to write an essay, report or presentation etc.
  • Your brief is the aim of your assignment and your interpretation of the learning outcomes become your objectives and provides a structure for your writing.  
  •  Assign a word count to each area of the structure. As you move from first year to third year your tutor will expect fewer topic areas and greater depth.  This means that as you head towards your final year you need to research more widely and identify and discuss the debates within the field of study.

Having read this information, find the one which links to the structure of the assignment you have been given: essay, report, literature review, presentation, reflection etc

List of 25 Best MBA Assignment Topics for UK Students

One of the most diverse academic subjects is the field of business management (BAW, 2018) . Because of this, selecting a competitive topic might be difficult for university students. By carefully investigating the subject and figuring out what sub-field is being studied, you might choose something that fascinates you. Browse through the selection of engaging MBA assignment topics to get some inspiration for your ideas.

Whether you decide to concentrate on HR or finance corporate management, the goal is to give your readers a captivating hook that will bring them to your key topic. Getting there will be considerably simpler after you choose a solid MBA topic for your assignment!

How to Select an Intriguing MBA Assignment Topic?

The process of choosing an MBA topic is one that frequently causes students to sweat (Caplan, 2020) . The reason for this is that the instructor will see your topic name as soon as he looks at your assignment, so it must instantly capture his attention.

But not everyone enjoys the challenge of choosing a novel concept for a project. The MBA assignment help services have stepped forward to assist those students. The following are some key considerations that students should make before choosing an MBA assignment topic.

It Should Be Interesting

Consider picking a unique assignment subject. The next thing that will transpire is that you will start the composing assignment with excitement, but eventually, all of the enthusiasm will fade. Therefore, if you don’t want to feel bored lately, it is advised that you choose an intriguing topic.

Decide on the Latest Category

This fact, which increases your chances of receiving an A+ for an academic article, should be ingrained in your mind. For instance, if you are looking for MBA assignment topics in marketing, you may choose a subject that focuses on the most recent marketing techniques used by businesses in 2022.

Identify Your Acumen

Do you need MBA finance topics? So, before you select a study topic, make sure it aligns with your area of expertise. Pick one that is centered primarily on those core concepts in the particular subject in which you excel.

It Must Have a Broad Range of Research

You can only create a fully researched academic paper when you have adequate knowledge about the MBA assignment. Therefore, your proposal must have a wide range of study options.

Assure Uniqueness

One of the best ways to win over the professor’s heart and mind is to present him or her with a primary research idea. Your instructor will be more interested in reading your content if you do this. In other words, a catchy topic will serve as a draw.

MBA Assignment Types: Why Do You Need An Expert Help?

You must be mindful that there are many MBA course options (Harding and Long, 2017) . There are executive programs as well as full-time and part-time options. However, all assignments share the same core elements. Here are a few types of MBA assignments.

General Coursework

It consists of anything from exams to quizzes and sample essays. Questionnaires may be requested of you. It includes research and the problems may be challenging. Due to these problems, you might require MBA assignment help .

This has to be the most frequent assignment category (Graves and White, 2016) . Students write papers of various lengths, from expository writing to focused topics like production chain management and operations. They eventually need aid because it takes a lot of time.

Thesis or Dissertations

These are the most important assignments because they will determine whether you succeed in your course and receive an MBA. Dissertation and thesis writing can take several months or even a full year. You should include your research into it and read a wide range of reliable sources to support your findings. Giving experts management of such an important MBA assignment is the best line of action.

Business Report Writing

MBA students frequently engage in a thorough examination of various business operations. Before reporting them, they should study and comprehend them. Instructors will then analyze this report. Because analyzing business complexities frequently necessitates significant research and can be intimidating at times, you might need support.

Case Studies

If you wish to be successful in business, you must have a lot of practical expertise. Internships begin later; up until that point, your main concentration will be case studies. They provide you the opportunity to experience what it means to find solutions by researching, evaluating, and coming up with answers. If your critical thinking skills are weak, you encounter difficulties. While you’re starting to catch up, you still need to complete your MBA assignment. That’s where MBA assignment writing services aid.

Urgent Investigation Required

Urgent Investigation Required - Unfulfilled Promise I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of utmost urgency that requires immediate investigation. I was promised that I would receive the work by 1 pm today; however, as of now, I have not received it. The individual's WhatsApp mobile number, through which the promise was made, is +44 7459 657754. Despite my numerous attempts to contact them via email, I have not received any response. This situation is deeply concerning to me, especially considering that I have already made the required payment. It has come to my attention that there are allegations suggesting that your services may be involved in fraudulent activities. This is particularly distressing for me as you have previously provided exceptional research work for me. I implore you to conduct a thorough investigation into this matter as soon as possible. I am also looking into this issue independently to ascertain the facts surrounding this situation. I trust that you will take immediate action to rectify this situation and provide me with the work that was promised to me. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Reply from UK-Assignments

This review is not for our service as we never promise to deliver completed papers by 1 pm on any day. The telephone number quoted above does not belong to us!!!

Outstanding Services Received

I bumped into UK-Assignments online after realising I was behind assignment and decided to try them out at my own risk. I got in contact through an online contact number and spoke to a guy called Nigel, very pleasant in his utterances. I decided to give it a shot after much deliberation about their authenticity and worries about their quality of services. Long story short, the service l received from this company was outstanding and very high class among contemporaries writers. The job was nicely trimmed to the subject area. I tried them again on another occasion and got an A grade in both topics they have assisted me with. I would recommend this company any time.

Date of experience : 21 October 2023

Thank you for your wonderful review. It's heartwarming to hear that our services not only met but exceeded your expectations and that our team, especially Nigel, provided you with the support you needed. We're thrilled that we could contribute to your academic achievements. Remember, we're just a message away from your future assignments!

Don't make the same mistake I did

Please do the right thing and do not use this company. When I saw the reviews, I was almost certain that I would recieve exceptional work however, I received anything but. My work was copied directly of the internet and was lazily done. When I asked for a revision, the writer, "David" who was actually a man named Nigel, the owner of the business, a none degree holding builder, paraphrased the entire work using AI and sent it back to me. The work was beyond basic and false citations were used throughout the work. I asked for a refund but to no avail. This company does not care about your work. As soon as they've got your money they can produce anything they want and there's nothing you can do about it. Please do the right thing and avoid UK-Assignments.

Date of experience : 04 December 2023

We're concerned about the review you posted, as it doesn't reflect the services we offer at UK-Assignments. Our team consists of professional Master's and PhD writers, and we certainly do not use AI for writing. Additionally, we provide three free revisions in accordance with our policy, detailed here: https://www.uk-assignments.com/refund-and-revision-policy/ We couldn't find any record of your order and believe there might be a misunderstanding. We invite you to contact us directly through your order on our website to address and resolve any issues. If your experience was not with our service, we kindly ask you to remove or amend your review. This would help maintain the integrity of our services and the trust of our clients. We also noted your similar review for another service, which raises concerns about the authenticity of these reviews.

A Reflective Essay using Rolfe’s Reflective Model to Reflect on your Role as a Student Nurse in Medicine Management

Introduction.

The current reflective essay is based on my experience as a student nurse in the application of evidence-based risk assessment tool for quality care to patients of different critical intensities. Evidence based risk assessment tool is a technique used in the provision of quality care and healthcare support which comprises preventive measures taken for patients, or diagnostics and prognostic routes chosen and sometimes even in precision insurance medical decisions (James, 2013).

As per my understanding and my experiences from the evidence-based risk assessment tools, it helps reduce the associated risks to patients by minimising health impact, costs and issues related to legal and ethical concerns. Evidence based risk assessment tools as I have experienced help greatly in exploring the risk magnitude (RM) of different types of patients and assess the mortality prediction and predictable survival of the patient.

This aspect of the risk assessment was important for insurance approval for patients by the hospital. Again, in another aspect, these risk assessment tools also help in assessing the safety settings of the healthcare centre like risk assessment from patient fall evidence (Renfro and Fehrer, 2011; Waxman, 2010).

However, in nursing, I now believe that it is a very important tool for nurses to understand the patients’ conditions and help the specialists understand the patient’s condition or situation. In the following section, I have used Rolfe’s Reflective Model to present my experiences using evidence-based risk assessment tools while interning as a student nurse.

Rolfe’s reflective model

During my experience as a student nurse, out of most tasks I was involved in during the short period, using the evidence-based risk assessment tool was the most critical medicine management process I had encountered. The medicine management system as we know in nursing is the critical process of assessing, controlling and monitoring the medication system for improved performance and quality care (Zipkin et al. 2014).

Evidence based risk assessment tool is an important part of medicine management because it involves assessing the risks of the patients based on evidence of the history of the patient or similar conditions in the past from another patient. The evidence based risk assessment tool also helps in the assessment of the condition of the patient like allergies to certain medications, the criticalness of the patients, the survival chances of the patient, and predicting the treatment efficacy for those critical patients only.

Another technical aspect of these tools is that the hospital setting has also used them for determining the insurance eligibility of patients, these tools have certain measures for each of the medical condition of the patient and using this knowledge and assessment the eligibility of the patient to avail insurance to reduce costs of treatment are used (Nelson et al. 2021).

The evidence.nhs.uk, (2020) or NHS has developed multiple evidence-based tools for risk assessment of the patients using sound methodological and procedural basis and investigative methods to assess the patients’ conditions and improve the provision of quality medical care. Since the NHS has made it mandatory for all healthcare settings to apply risk assessment tools for all types of conditions and settings thus it has become an important activity.

During my experience, I learned how to use and develop a risk assessment tool with the help of a head nurse and another midwife with whom I had to partner during my internship as a student nurse. They taught me how to use different types of tools and their applications. The nurses in the healthcare setting had a format for using the tools that allowed them to rate the patient’s conditions and gather information on the patient’s history.

It further helps the emergency doctors and other specialised doctors better understand the patients to have the correct route for prognosis and diagnosis. I believe with the help of this personal and in-depth association I gained some knowledge on how to investigate patient histories and conditions to effectively use the evidence-based risk assessment tools. This I can further relate to one of the cases that I handled. The case was the patient had a previous history of allergies from certain medications. This was put into the risk assessment tool that helped the doctor approach a different route for medication and treatment of the patient (Westbrook et al. 2011).

My involvement as a student nurse in applying evidence-based risk assessment tools helped me gain knowledge on different aspects like how to investigate the patients and gain information on the patient conditions and history. In one of the areas of risk assessment i.e. to mitigate the fall risk of critical patients, I learnt to use the Morse Fall Scale and the Hendrich II Fall Risk Model that is generally used by the nurses in the hospital setting to reduce the cases of patient falls from trips and involuntary patient actions (Higaonna, Enobi, and Nakamura, 2017).

While using the Morse Fall Scale and the Hendrich II Fall Risk Model, I learnt that these risk scoring tools have different categories that can be used to understand the condition of the patient and based on the risk score the patients are given more care and assistance to ensure that there is low risk to fall. For instance, I understood that these tools use and gather information on the patient’s conditions like confusion or disorientation and depressive state and dizziness of the patient and types of drugs like consumption of benzodiazepines and others.

Patients taking benzodiazepines need special care and support because they risk falling when they move without the assistance of a nurse or other family member. Other information gathered from these assessment tools is the patient’s condition like the use of cane or sticks to move, medical condition of the patient, mental condition of the patient and others (Han et al. 2017).

I also discovered that these scoring tools have various classifications that can be utilised to comprehend the state of the patient and dependent on the danger score the patients are given more consideration and help to guarantee that there is generally safe to fall. I also discovered that these instruments use and assemble data on the patient conditions.

By considering these situations and patient scores, better care and support can be provided. Therefore, this process also helped me acquire information on various viewpoints like exploring the patients and gaining data on the patient conditions and history. Furthermore, considering the tools used in risk assessment are not limited to fall assessments but also enable ethical generation for patient treatment (Ondrusek et al. 2015).

In this regard, I can link my skill development experiences whereby I learnt that ethical provision of care is very important and this includes informing the outcomes of the risk assessment and the possible treatment and effectively communicating all the outcomes from the risk assessment of the patient to other specialists as well for effective treatment routes.

Linking my learning to that of Kaya, Ward, and Clarkson, (2019) current risk assessment practice in hospitals there is still a major gap in the risk assessment guidance for using tools to mitigate the risks of wrongful medication or wrongful diagnosis of the patients rising for poor assessment of patient conditions and risks.

Even though the National Health Service in England (NHS England) has developed multiple systems that allow the risk assessment for patients concerning patient compliances, ethical medical practices, treatment processes and patient care and improvement of the patient’s quality care.  There is a significant gap in the effectiveness of applying these tools.

It may be because there are different tools that each of the hospitals uses. Like in my case, as I mentioned, the hospital used two different tools for fall risk assessment of the patients like the Morse Fall Scale and the Hendrich II Fall Risk Model. This resulted in different risk scores by different nurses or the authorised personnel.

Based on these aspects I can say that there is a significant gap in effective evidence based risk assessment tools as hospitals develop or adapt to existing ones based on feasibility and the risk assessment guidelines by the NHS England. Therefore, I believe that the Nursing and Midwifery Council must develop and upgrade its existing risk assessment tools meant for the nurses to use so that a single method of the risk assessment tool is used for different conditions of the patients and improve the patient care.

Applying singular methods or multidimensional risk assessment tools may improve the medical care and medical care support which involves preventive measures taken for patients, or diagnostics and prognostic courses picked, and now and then even inaccuracy protection clinical choices. Furthermore, using a multidimensional and unified use of the risk assessment instruments will help decrease the related dangers to patients by limiting wellbeing effects, expenses, and issues identified with legitimate and moral concerns.

These evaluation tools as I have encountered help extraordinarily in investigating the risk assessments of various kinds of patients and survey the mortality forecast and unsurprising patient endurance. This significant part of the medication the board since it implies surveying the dangers of the patients dependent on proof of the previous history of the patient or comparable conditions in the past from another patient.

The risk appraisal device likewise helps in the evaluation of the state of the patient like sensitivities to specific drugs, the criticalness of the patients, the endurance odds of the patient, and anticipating the treatment adequacy for those basic patients as it were. Applying unified, flexible and multidimensional risk assessment tools will help the nurses moderate the tools as needed for the different conditions of patients and mitigation of risks (Ondrusek et al. 2015).

I believe I was limited to using only fall-related risk assessment tools like Morse Fall Scale and the Hendrich II Fall Risk Model. There are many other risk assessment tools developed for patients suffering from different conditions like patients with severe diabetic conditions and cardiac issues. There are different evidence-based risk assessment tools for these patients.

Therefore, I believe one of the most important skills and knowledge I need to gain is investigating and using them in other conditions. I also have to learn about the application of these tools using technical tools that help in the evaluation of the state of the patient like hypersensitivities to specific drugs, the criticalness of the patients, the endurance odds of the patient, and anticipating the treatment viability for those basic patients as it were.

Another specialised part of these apparatuses is that the emergency clinic setting has likewise utilised them for deciding the protection qualification of the patients, these devices have certain actions for every one of the ailments of the patient and utilising this information and appraisal the qualification of the patient to profit protection to diminish expenses of treatment are utilised.

For instance, the NHS has developed different risk assessment tools for patients suffering from psychiatric and other healthcare issues. I will learn and read these risk assessment tools and understand how they are used or the importance of these tools using literature studies. By interning more in the area of risk assessment for medicine management, it will help me to learn about different numerous other danger evaluation instruments produced for patients experiencing various conditions like patients with extreme diabetic conditions and cardiovascular issues and for these patients, there are diverse risk appraisal tools or measuring systems.

Consequently, I believe engaging more in learning these risk tools will improve my abilities and the information I need to acquire is how to examine and utilise them in different conditions. I need to find out about the utilisation of these instruments that assist in the assessment of the patient’s condition like hypersensitivities to explicit medications, the criticalness of the patients, the perseverance chances of the patient and expecting the treatment suitability for those fundamental patients figuratively speaking.

Another specific piece of these devices are that they have in like manner been used by the crisis facility setting for choosing the insurance capability of the patients, these gadgets have certain activities for all of the diseases of the patient and using this data and its evaluation, the capability of the patient to benefit security to lessen costs of treatment are used. As a student nurse, I plan to achieve these skills and improve through external engagement and internships at different clinical centres.

Evidence based risk assessment tool is the process of assessing the possible risks to patients and developing a route for the patients. There are different ways of providing care to patients and the main activity of the nurses in this case of using evidence based risk assessment tool is to gather first-hand information of the patients’ conditions, medical history like allergies and previous medications and health issues, as well as mental heal of the patients.

There are different types of risk assessment tools for different conditions of patients like psychological or cardiac patient risk assessment tools. In addition, these tools are also used to develop a predictive assessment of the patient’s survivability or death. Based on such outcomes, the route of medication and healthcare is decided. The nurses’ role in this aspect is to include these tools while investigating the patients’ conditions. This helps in effective medicine management by providing effective care and rightful medications and reducing risks of wrongful medications and others.

New Curated Data Resources Collection Caps Off Love Data Week

Earlier this month, UK Libraries celebrated Love Data Week with a series of events that highlighted the many  data support services available to help users create, share, and manage their research data.  

UK students, faculty, and staff met their research data librarians and built data-centric communities during a film screening, a Data Visualization Date Night, and several virtual workshops.

Recordings are available for two of the workshops, one on application programming interfaces ( Exploring US Newspapers with the Chronicling America API ), and the other on data resources and best practices ( 5 Tips for Managing Your Research Data ).

In support of Love Data Week, Outreach & Engagement Specialist  Jen Martin and Reference Graduate Assistants Zoe Blackwell and Makayla Wells developed the  DATA Collection, a curated selection of data-themed books , available now in  InfoKat Discovery .

The collection contains publications across five sub-categories: 

  • Data Management & Analysis
  • Data Visualization
  • Data Mining
  • Data Security

Martin, Blackwell, and Wells consulted readers’ advisories and expert recommendations to find the best works in the field, bringing together classic standard texts as well as recently published titles. Each sub-category contains between eight and 13 books, and several titles were purchased to round out the collection. 

The DATA Collection provides a permanent home for academic materials that support data-intensive scholarship of all kinds, complementing the services available from UK Libraries’ research data librarians.

“Students today are busier than ever, and we are always thrilled at the opportunity to remind them that libraries and librarians are here for them,” said Martin, reflecting on Love Data Week. “Undergraduate work is scholarship in every sense of the word, and data is a vital component of research across disciplines. Whether students need assistance with file naming conventions, downloading datasets, or selecting the best applications and visual tools for their work, they are in great hands with our digital scholarship and data librarians.”

Data Applications Librarian  Diane Parr and Research Data Librarian  Isaac Wink provide support to users across all disciplines and at every stage of the research data lifecycle. They can help users plan projects, develop data management workflows, secure and organize data, publish findings, search for datasets, and create graphs and visualizations to analyze and present research.

The DATA Collection is one of many  Collection Discovery pages available through InfoKat. The feature allows users to more easily locate library resources, from borrowable  Board Games to  Kentucky Cookbooks , or to explore notable and diverse collections, including the  Dr. bell hooks Collection or our growing  Lou Emma Wilson Mexicana Collection .

Selecting materials – and participating in Love Data Week programming – were beneficial to Blackwell and Wells, who gained hands-on experience with building collections and engaging users in outreach events. Both were able to incorporate lessons from the week into their current Library & Information Science courses.

“As a library science student, I was happy to assist Jen Martin with the selection of data-related books for the DATA Collection,” said Wells. “I also participated in several fun and informative events as a student and completed a case study on this programming for my Programming and Outreach of Libraries and Archives course.” 

“I’m currently taking a course on Data Analysis and Visualization, and machine learning has been a challenging subject,” said Blackwell. “I enjoy being a Graduate Assistant,” she added. “I’ve learned about a lot of databases I never knew about.”
