4 Techniques to Get a First in Every Business Assignment

The Winning Formula!

1. Answer the Question
Copy and Paste the assignment brief on Word and split the brief into separate sub-headings. That way, you won't miss out on any part of the question hence compelling the assessor to pass you.

2. Library is Useless

Books are outdated the day they're published! The only resource you'll ever need to complete a first class business/management assignment is a computer connected to the internet. Journals, Newspapers, Magazines, Lecture Slides, Google, Blogs etc give you brownie points. The more you use them, the better!

3. Loads of References
Most important! References make up the bridge between you and that First/Distinction grade you want it so bad. Ideally, depending on the field of topic, you should be able to connect each sentence with a reference in your written article. My Golden Rule: The number of references is directly proportional to the number of marks you'll get! (Tip: Use MS Word auto-referencing if referencing is not your stronghold)

4. Calculate & Commit
Calculate what's the absolute minimum you need to do to get a First. Depending on the university/faculty, your result may only represent the average of best 5-7 modules of your course. Identify them, work out the averages, and commit yourself to getting that 72 you need in 2nd assessment to balance out the first one or increase the average. (Chances are you might get some positive surprises from other modules too!)

In my opinion if the techniques above are followed, no matter whatever your skills/weaknesses are, you'll always get a positive feedback! Goes without saying that your content must be relevant, this applies only to written assignment submitted on time, which is what the tutor expects and is grammatically correct!
