Tip #1: Understand the Assignment Before You Start

Many students rush into writing without fully grasping what the task actually requires. This often leads to confusion, missed points, or even having to redo everything from scratch.

Before you write anything, take a few minutes to do this:

  • Read the instructions carefully. Highlight important keywords like analyze, compare, evaluate, discuss, etc.
  • Identify the type of assignment. Is it an essay? A report? A reflection? Each one has a different style and structure.
  • Check the requirements. Look for word count, format, referencing style (APA, MLA, etc.), and submission deadline.


Taking this small step can save you time, stress, and grades.
A good start leads to a better finish!

See you tomorrow for Tip #2!

The proses to extract information and knowledge from journals, essays are priceless. You will understand the issue and later will be able to talk fluently about it. Imagine if you use ChatGPT for your assignment, and later your supervisor asked anything, then you wouldn't be able to address the issue.  So, that being said, I tried to use ChatGPT to prepare this essay.
