Hiii I hope you are well! We are now well into February so that
means the second round of coursework is out then before we know it exams will start. I’m now going to share some useful tips on
coursework that might help you especially if you’re doing a degree that might
consist of mathematics:
1) READ then RE READ - it’s important that you know what the
question is asking of you so you don’t waste your time answering the question
in the wrong way. Then you can write some notes (The key points to the
question) so you’re absolute clear to what is asked of you.
2) If it’s possible to answer the question in different ways do so
because you will know if your answer is correct and then work on the questions
you are unsure about.
3) Check that you have given the appropriate additional
requirements for example if you have been asked to write a computer programme
make sure you provide the evidence, this might be the script file, also you
might need to also run the programme and show the output so make sure you have
provided the correct evidence to ensure you achieve the maximum amount of
marks.
4) If you don’t understand the wording of the question or you’re
not sure how to approach the question then CONTACT the lecturer. You can spend
ages on a question then a few helpful words from the lecturer can help a great
deal.
I hope these tips help you when it comes to completing your
coursework :)
