Check the guidelines that you
have been given on the presentation of assessed coursework. You may be required
to submit all assignments in typed/word processed format.
If you are word processing your
work, choose a style of font that is easily readable, and make sure that it
is of an adequate size. Eleven point is widely recommended as the minimum
font size for essays and reports.
If you are writing your essay
by hand, make sure that your handwriting is legible. Although a having a small
number of words crossed out on the page is acceptable, try to minimise the
extent to which this occurs. It makes your work look messy and will influence
the reader's initial impression of what you have written.
