Coursework can be a challenging assignment, especially in the events when students leave this task for the last minute, and they are still confident they can master it with no trouble. Unfortunately, reality shows that it is a hard nut to crack, and the result is a failed deadline and bad or no grade. Do not be among those who think it is as easy as ABC.
Coursework is a type of paper assigned to students to improve the final grade in one or a few subjects, or it is a real chance for a curator to check one’s knowledge in any topic. However, depending on the educational establishment, the purpose may range. For instance, some professors designate a syllabus that allows students to acknowledge requirements among which essay, research, practical analysis, field studies parts can be present. Some, also require writing it during the classes, so that they can evaluate the whole process and understand there are no manifestations of plagiarism or rewriting.
All in all, one should be ready to focus on the research rather than simply writing. Accordingly, the methodology is a must to submit a qualitative work.
Note, coursework is also sometimes mistaken with a dissertation. Even though they resemble each other in many aspects, yet they still have differences. A dissertation is a longer and more prolific work that is usually assigned for graduates. And, it again serves as a method to improve the final grade. Coursework is evaluated as an exam but it does involve less word count and a number of methods or researches.
Thus, if you have a syllabus explaining step by step instruction to writing, think of yourself as a lucky person. But, if you have no clue about the structure and format, this guide can help you master this writing as well.
Compared to sciences or any degrees that involve more practical assessments, those students enrolled in Classic English Literature are luckier. There is no need to experiment or go to sites where one can show his obtained skills. On the other side, a student should show how one can balance the methodology, research of data, and literature analysis.
Classic English Literature involves a wide range of works, authors, and movements. So, if you are the one who thinks Shakespear is the limit, it is necessary to revise your attitude toward your studying because you are not on the same page with a professor or your education establishment.
Charles Dickens, Emily Bronte, Jane Austen, William Golding, and others contributed to the Classic English Literature. Accordingly, any of their works can be taken into consideration when choosing a topic. However, there is one ongoing interminable controversy regarding the pieces of work. Historically, it was outlined that classic literature is the one gained the most success in people, the one considered masterpiece, and the one that has hundreds of reviews, researches, and analysis on. Thus, works that have been released in the previous decade, for example, Harry Potter should be considered already classic as well. Or, should we wait for another century?
This is just food for thought but before deciding on the topic, it is necessary to ask a professor about a list of prohibited for selection topics, works or authors. Maybe, his opinion will coincide with yours, and you will have an opportunity to write about your favorite book.
For your convenience, take a look at the following trending topics that might be of interest to you:
Otherwise, you can always ask graduates who already mastered topics for writing in Classic English Literature, and who can also share their tips.
Before even starting generating ideas for coursework, one should pass a preparation or acknowledgment stage. It will encompass learning format, requirements, and general recommendations from experts or instructions taken from other educational establishments. So, let’s go.
Finally, students are highly recommended to dedicate to coursework at least a few weeks. Leaving it for the last moment always makes one receive a bad grade.
The basic stuffing of any coursework is the introduction, main body, and conclusion. However, even these parts are also divided and contain supporting elements. To succeed in writing, one should start with a plan.
Never skip this stage, it is the one responsible for structuring your ideas in order. A student should brainstorm the research methods suitable for a topic. For instance, it can be observation, experiment, analysis, comparison. If you select an experiment in terms of the selected topic, let it be Alice in Wonderland, Why Guilty Pleasures Rule Our Lives, you can gather online opinions of readers or survey other students. The main idea is to ask for their feedback about the work and find out what were the key observations from Alice’s behavior she could avoid doing. It can be anything but you should manage to dedicate most of your work to methodology.
As it was said before, attaching only online materials does not look much professional. An ideal picture of a student, it is a person who sits in the library with a “skyscraper” of books. Of course, modern professors allow one to rely on online sources but they should be credible. One tip for the future, try to avoid Wikipedia. It is definitely the best tool of any student but citing it only for definition is a waste of time, and irrelevant information. Ideally, if bibliography consists of 20 sources, make sure at least 12 of them are books.
Do you remember that outline is the best instrument for structuring ideas? It can be helpful even for your coursework. Once one has an idea about the methodology and materials, one can allocate them as per parts. For instance, your main part will be definitely 5 subparagraphs. Try to dedicate one material per paragraph. It will help to not overload work with too much citing.
Finally, it helps to have a written plan within eyeshot. So, no puzzlement and misunderstanding where to put what.
When you start the actual writing, you should spend a lot of time on a thesis and hook the same as it works with any type of essay. Note, you should present the main idea of why you choose the topic, present your arguments regarding the relevance of methodology discussed in the main body. Finally, you have to attach the smooth transition, in the end, that will step by step introduce your reader to the heart of the work.
This is a part that requires prompt attention. One should manage to attach a methodology in the way it shows a reader again the relevance. If you collected students’ opinions regarding the Guilty Pleasures theme in Alice in Wonderland, make sure you decorate this information well. For instance, the first paragraphs must involve theory only. It helps a curator to find out the level of your knowledge. The middle paragraphs are with actual experiments that demonstrate a result in researching or analyzing the topic. And, the last ones are solely for showing your confidence in your work.
Look, the same as with other papers here the main criteria of successful work lays in confirming your thesis. You should refer to it, and show what you achieved with a methodology. Speak about what students’ opinions helped you to understand the main point. Besides, it is important to avoid adding new information. Otherwise, a reader will be lost with the overall feedback.
Now, you are almost done. And, it is necessary to dedicate the last days or moments to proofreading. There is hope that there are no more students who submit works without checking. If you do it, check what tips can greatly boost your final grade.
At last, read your coursework for at least 10 times before submitting it. Sometimes, students notice some discrepancies with logic, and they still have some time to change the parts. Keep in mind, this type of assignment will radically affect your final grade, so make sure you did your best to improve it.
