Description
Aimed specifically at education students, this handy guide tells you all you need to know about writing essays, assignments or reports for your studies. In particular, it discusses the key issues involved in: preparing to write; writing; and presenting and submitting work. Each stage of the process is clearly explained and backed up by examples from courses. As it is written for people studying education it is relevant to the style and language lecturers and assessors use. The book is intended for first year undergraduate students, PGCE students and others studying education (such as teaching assistants; Masters students; and teachers undertaking INSET courses), who may not be used to writing with this subject-specific focus, or just need to brush up on it.
