1. Choose a topic

Your task is easier beacuse you do not really have to choose a whole topic, just a part of it. Your assignments are always quite precise questions that leave you free to choose a subtopic.

How? Do your research first!

Without a research and knowledge of the topic it would be very difficult to write something that makes sense.


For example:

 The first assignment asks you to discuss, compare and contrast a "chosen constitutional issue". To do so, you need to choose a "constitutional issue". Study the related materials, do your own research and pick something regulated by the constitution to write about.

2. Wrtiting

Make sure your text makes sense, start with a very brief introduction to make clear what are you going to write about and in what seqence.

Conclude your essay: do not leave your reader in the middle of a thought.

Do not forget to CITE YOUR SOURCES.

How? Use a citation convention of your choice, for example this one: OSCOLA.


3. Revision

  • Make sure your text fulfils what the assignment asks you to.
  • Make sure the text is grammaticaly correct
  • Make sure you cite all the sources correctly. Do not forget to refer to the exact pages of the source you are using.
