Module 3 - Structuring the assignment to fit the topic


How you structure your assignment depends partly on your analysis of the topic and partly on the type of assignment you have been asked to write (for example, an essay, report, case study, literature review). An essay is probably the most free-form of these types because its precise structure will depend on the topic.
