Tidy your work
Handing in a messy essay is like going to a job interview in track pants – it gives a very bad first impression.
By presenting your work neatly, you're doing your work justice and giving yourself the best possible chance of doing well.
Remember to:
- type your work in an easy-to-read font, like Arial or Times New Roman
- use
large margins and double spacing so your marker has room to write notes
- print
on one side to avoid written comments showing through
- only
include pictures if you've been asked to
- include
page numbers and your name in the footer
- make
sure you've referenced correctly and included a bibliography.
