You
Received an Assignment; Now What??
When you first receive an
assignment, there are specific steps you must take to make sure that you complete the assignment properly, on-time, and while clearly displaying
your knowledge of the assignment’s
evaluative properties (what your instructor is expecting you to be able to show
knowledge in to receive the highest points).
To complete an assignment properly, you
need to sit down with the assignment directions and highlight the key factors
for that assignment:
Due date
Required
sources
Required
layout
Required
formatting
Required
writing style
Required
topic
Required
structure
To complete an assignment on-time, you
need to:
Take note
of the due date
Determine
your personal, business, and school requirements for the week to set-aside time
to properly work through the stages of the Writing Process early
and often in the week so that you are not rushed as the due date approaches.
Take
note of whether late-work will be accepted, and if it will be accepted late,
what the penalty will be for late submissions.
To complete an assignment displaying the required knowledge, you
need to:
Understand
the style
of writing (process, argument, causal analysis, etc.)
Understand
the lessons from your textbook(s) up to this point to know what your instructor
expects you to be able to display in your writing
Understand
the topic—what are the specific angles the instructor wants you to display in
regard to the assigned topic (youth, America, Christian worldview, etc.)?
Understand
how you will be graded—see the grading rubric for that lesson (or for all
writings for that class) to understand the ‘boxes’ your instructor will be
looking to check off as you demonstrate various aspects of writing.
