Where do I begin? Researching, structuring and writing coursework assignments

This practical and interactive seminar is aimed at candidates studying towards CII qualifications that

include a coursework element. With no tutor support and having to complete coursework assignments alongside a hectic professional life, this seminar teaches key study skills to help you get

started with your assignments and ensure you write the best possible submission. We will look at

research techniques, structure, how to influence the examiner through your writing, referencing and

how to avoid plagiarism.

By the end of the session participants will be able to:

• properly plan and research coursework assignments.

• structure assignments and use appropriate language throughout.

• include evidence in an assignment in a structured and easy to read format.

• properly reference sources and avoid plagiarism.
