Tips:
- Look for keywords near the top of the assignment defining exactly what you should be writing about.
- Look for style and formatting information such as font size, spacing, citation style, as well as directions on how many pages or how many words it should be.
- Look for the number and types of outside sources you need to cite, as well as any information about what type of sources you should not use.
- Look for due dates so that you can create a timeline on when you need to work on your paper so that you can get it done and revised on time.
- Look for information on how you can get clarification or additional help. Talk to your professor or ask a librarian if you have further questions about your topic.
