We have all been there, the giant, overwhelming assignments that may be worth half of your grade for the semester, which can leave you rattled to say the least. And it can sometimes leave you wondering where to start, how to start and how you are going to finish it all by the pending due date. But this blog is going to make it easier to tackle the ball of stress a.k.a Major Assignments.
To completely wrap your head around what you need to do for this assignment you need to understand the following things: The type of the assignment, the due date, the resources needed for it, and how the assignment can fit around your schedule.
What type of assignment have you been given. An Oral Presentation? Then you might need to write a speech and do some research, a Scientific Report? Then you may need to research previous scientific reports and use class data and a plan . Additionally using a study design outline or the teachers assistance will allow you to gain a full scope of the assignment requirements.
Next, you want to know when the major assignment is due, that is so you can adequately organize your assignment writing time, a concept called 'Chunking' introduced to me by one of my teachers its where you take a take assignment and break it up over a period of days or weeks, thus preventing unnecessary stress and increasing productivity.
Following, you need to gather all of the resources needed. This can include researching articles, reading a textbook, and paper and pens for drafts or a laptop. After this the assignment writing begins !
And lastly you need to work this assignment around your schedule. Find time that you use to study or you are free in to focus on purely this assignment. And remember to schedule in breaks as to not become overwhelmed.
Hope this helps,
