🛠 Tips to Help You Write
- Start with one task at a time — Task 1 is often easiest to begin with.
- Cite academic sources regularly — aim for 4–6 per section minimum.
- Use subheadings for each major idea — makes it easier for markers to follow.
- Stick to professional, neutral tone — don’t write in first person.
- No intro/conclusion needed.
