How should I format my assignment?

1 min. readlast update: 12.03.2024

Assessment questions come in various formats, such as essays, scenario-based questions, or reports. Some questions may require you to write in a specific style, such as a blog post or a speech for a conference.

It’s essential to follow what each question asks for and adapt your response accordingly. Depending on the question type, your answer might take the form of a full essay, a short essay, a report with numbered paragraphs, or a detailed analysis and application of knowledge.  Ensure that your response aligns with the required format and content focus.

Assignments must be submitted in Microsoft Word format as a single document, not a PDF. If you submit in PDF this may result in your assignment not being marked and you receiving a mark of zero.  

We also recommend:  

  • a cover page that includes your Customer Contact Number (A-AB-01234567), submission date and the course title (do not include your name) 
  • a contents page – optional, but gives a professional finish to your assignment 
  • font size 11 or 12 in a clear typeface such as Calibri, Ariel or Times New Roman 
  • leave 1.5–2 line spacing, and 
  • subheadings to clearly identify what you are discussing.
