Highlight text to annotate it

The first thing is, don't do it the night before because you don't have a chance to read it back ...
in a new light, or a new form. Try and get at least a draft copy done, like ...
at least four days before submitting an assignment.
Read it to yourself, read aloud to your self. You sound really stupid ...
but it's good because you can see and pick up where you've been unclear, and also ...
get a critical friend to have a look at it, someone that's within your faculty ...
that you trust and that's in one of your tute groups to go through and go ...
well, this works really well but this one doesn't.
You've become really unclear here, what do you mean. And that means you can refine your assignment.
And that's a really useful tool, because if you don't do that then you'll just go on your own bias ...
and that's not a way an assignment should be written.
An assignment should be a proper analysis and written academically.
Just the way a sentence is structured. Like, it's a simple thing but making sure your commas are in the right place ...
making sure, when you have referenced, if you're using a direct quote make sure the quotation marks are in there in the right way.
If you're using a direct quote make sure they flow with the rest of the sentence.
Don't just dump them in there for the sake of having a reference.
Like, it's all that kind of stuff that builds an assignment.
It's built around creating the right kind of way for someone to read it.
And... yes, your lecturer is knowledgable of what they tell you but write it as you are writing it to someone that has no idea what the topic is about.
Because it's always going to be easier to understand and grasp that because you're starting at the basics of it as well.
