Suggestion on Dos and Don’ts
Dos.
Start your Assignment early (Do not wait to start 48 hours before the Assignment is due).
Remember to discuss, and elaborate in your paper.
Discuss each question equally – for example do not write 2 pages for question 1, and 2 sentences for question 3.
Your discussion should be based on your research of the law and facts.
I recommend that you put headings in your paper, so that it is clear where the answers to each question starts and stops.
Ensure you submit the correct paper.
Use the help provided to you such as Grammarly and the online tutor.
Don’ts
Do not write an announcement in your paper, for example, “In this paper I will discuss the laws on discrimination.” This may increase your SafeAssign score.
Do not write about your personal experiences in your paper.
Do not use irrelevant diagrams, charts or pictures in your paper.
Keep Calm and Good Luck!
