Assignment Research Tips:

1. Select Your Assignment Topic Carefully

  • *Start at once and avoid being in a rush - as things pile up fast.
  • *If you have a choice select a topic that you interested.
  • *Check-out some books and reference works to get a preview of understanding the topic better.
  • *A quick search is a smart thing to do - make sure there is enough information available.
  • *If possible change your topic if it leads you to a dead-end.
  • *Use catalogues to find books.

2. Develop A Search Strategy

  • *Try to clarify unknown or strange terms by using other reference materials like dictionaries or encyclopaedias for an overview of the topic. Encyclopaedias often have a useful bibliography at the end of an entry. Your textbooks can also be a useful starting point.
  • *Specify the main concepts in your topic. What are its most important parts? Identify the probable keywords that best describes the content of your topic.
  • *Use keywords to create a search expression. Most searches require more than one word and you can combine words using AND, OR and NOT to make the search broader.

4. Take Notes And Collect A Reference List

  • *Read and evaluate the references you have read and source details as you move on.

5. Try To Have A Good Presentation

  • *Be able to show the best what you have found out or what you know and think. You can always add a reference list whatever the format of your presentation.

6. Judge Your Work

  • *Try to evaluate what facts you have collected.
  • *Look at your final work and think if you have answered every question. If there are flaws, use it to do better and improve your work next time.
