This is a form of oversimplification but should you give you general idea of what is expected. In reality, academic writing requires additional subheadings under in the body or main part of your text to convey your ideas in a structured way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here&#8217;s a more specific overview of the main structural parts of an assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Cover Page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Table of Contents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Introduction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Literature Review<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Methodology<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Findings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discussion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Conclusions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>References<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We explain each of these in more details in the next sections<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_essential_parts_in_assignment_structure\"><\/span>What are the essential parts in assignment structure?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 4 parts of an academic writing work which should be considered essential are <strong>Introduction, Body, Conclusion<\/strong> and <strong>References<\/strong>. The last one should be obvious to any of our readers, but it\u2019s surprising to see many students overlook the introduction and conclusion sections. Teachers often expect to see a short summary that sets the background and tone for the assignment, and they most definitely want to see what conclusions the student has reached by the end of their paper based on their study and research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"412\" src=\"https:\/\/gradmode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Intro2-1024x412.jpg\" alt=\"including introduction section is a basic part of assignment structure\" class=\"wp-image-506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gradmode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Intro2-1024x412.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gradmode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Intro2-300x121.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gradmode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Intro2-768x309.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gradmode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Intro2-1536x617.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gradmode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Intro2-2048x823.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/gradmode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Intro2-scaled.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To make it simple, all you need do in the introduction is to give a brief overview of the topic which your paper is about, why this topic is relevant and important. In the conclusions section, you just need to summarize your research process, what you\u2019ve learnt about the topic along the way and any final inferences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These aren\u2019t sections that you would have to do separate research for \u2013 if you\u2019ve done your paper by yourself, you should be able to easily write a conclusion for it in no less than an hour (and we\u2019re being very liberal with that estimation).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an easy to way to add in some additional words, which brings you closer to the required word count and reducing the words that you need to write for the other sections too, so why wouldn\u2019t you want to do this, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we have covered in our separate guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/gradmode.com\/how-is-word-count-important-manage-paper-length\/\">how to manage word count of assignments<\/a>, the introduction and conclusion sections are almost always included in the word count unless explicitly mentioned otherwise. You should be able to allocate about 200 to 300 words of the word count allowance to each of sections. This would cut down the amount of fresh content you need by about 400 to 600 words right off the bat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another critical section to be included in nearly all assignments would be a <strong>Table of Contents<\/strong> section. We have a full guide on how to easily make a good table of contents section which your teachers will be grateful to have when they are checking your work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_circumstantial_parts_in_assignment_structure\"><\/span>What are the circumstantial parts in assignment structure? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving on to the main part of your assignment, you could have a whole variety of headings and subheadings based on the type of paper that you are writing. Typically,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For thesis and dissertations, an <strong>Abstract<\/strong> section is almost always expected. Even if it hasn\u2019t been specifically requested, we would highly recommend including this section for such long format papers because its purpose is to guide the readers with a \u2018hook\u2019 and make them more interested in reading your paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can think of this section as a short summary of the main points from each of the broader headings in your paper. You don\u2019t need to have more than 200 words for this section, and it shouldn\u2019t be that hard to write as soon as you are done with your paper since the content that you\u2019ve written should still be fresh in your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Rationale<\/strong> section is also expected in papers with longer word counts, especially those which are research oriented. In this section, you just need to explain the background of your chosen topic or research problem and why it is relevant and significant. You are expected to justify the need for your research on this topic. Some other research-oriented subsections include <strong>Research Aim &amp; Objectives<\/strong> and <strong>Research Question<\/strong>, which you may potentially need, especially for long-form writing such as theses and dissertations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Literature Review<\/strong> is a heading which can be considered as almost essential for most assignments since teachers want to see what external reading you have done on existing academic theory. The reason we have included this in the circumstantial section rather than the essential section above is because there are occasionally some assignments for which teachers explicitly mention not to define or explain academic theory and instead, they expect to see your understanding through direct application to the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of scenario typically arises when the word count for the assignment is not that high, so a full-blown literature review could be seen as \u2018word-padding\u2019 and have a negative impact on your overall grade for that assignment. We go over this issue of word-padding and how you can avoid it in a separate guide on managing word count as mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A couple of sections that you can include in assignments where you are focusing on a particular industry or company are <strong>External Analysis<\/strong> and <strong>Internal Analysis <\/strong>respectively. As we cover in our guide on common academic words and what they mean, these are also known as Situational Analysis and Company Analysis<strong>, <\/strong>or Macro-analysis and Micro-analysis respectively. For company analysis, SWOT analysis one of the most common tools that are used, while another tool called TOWS is also occasionally used to combine internal and external analysis. Here&#8217;s a guide explaining the <a href=\"https:\/\/gradmode.com\/what-is-the-difference-between-swot-and-tows-analysis\/\">difference between SWOT and TOWS analysis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conceptual Framework<\/strong> is another circumstantial subsection which you may want to add if your research revolves around identifying independent and dependent variables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For papers which require some research to be done as part of the assignment, you are going to need some sections like <strong>Methodology<\/strong>, <strong>Findings, Discussion<\/strong> and <strong>Analysis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within Methodology, you might have other subsections like <strong>Data Collection<\/strong>, <strong>Sampling Method<\/strong> etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_some_additional_parts_in_assignment_structure\"><\/span> What are some additional parts in assignment structure? <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A section on <strong>Ethical Consent<\/strong> is often expected within the Research Methodology heading if your paper involves primary research gathered from respondents. We have a guide on ethical consent here and you can also check out our resources page to get a free sample ethical consent form which you could use in your papers (but be sure to also check out our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/gradmode.com\/how-to-remove-document-properties-to-avoid-plagiarism-in-word\/\">how to avoid getting flagged incorrectly for plagiarism<\/a> so that you do not get wrongly flagged for plagiarism by using this sample form).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For research-oriented assignments, another typical expectation (although it isn\u2019t always the case) is for a <strong>Research<\/strong> <strong>Timeline<\/strong> which illustrates the research process. This is often presented visually, and we have a separate guide on how to make good Gantt Charts easily using some of our free templates which you can find in our resources section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Recommendations<\/strong>, and <strong>Limitations<\/strong> are also sometimes expected in some assignments, especially those that are long form, such as detailed research work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a lot of tables and figures in your work, which is usually the case for thesis and dissertations, you should also try to add a <strong>list of tables and figures<\/strong> (separate list for each).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another section that you may wish to include in your assignments, especially if you have too many images or tables within your work, or if these are not to be included in the word count or in the body of the assignment, is the <strong>Appendix<\/strong> section. This is just a list of the additional content that is of direct relevance to your research adds to the quality and depth of your assignment. This section is typically not included in the word count allowance. Hence, it is often used to show that you have covered more ground in your research, but could not include it in main body due to word count limitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"701\" src=\"https:\/\/gradmode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/references-and-appendix.jpg\" alt=\"meme about expanding brain when using references, list of tables and figures and appendix section\" class=\"wp-image-509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gradmode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/references-and-appendix.jpg 500w, https:\/\/gradmode.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/references-and-appendix-214x300.jpg 214w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_plan_structure_for_essay_assignments\"><\/span>How to plan structure for essay assignments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike standard academic reports, essays typically do not have subheadings but are instead expected to be structured in a logical way such that you transition from one idea to another by interlinking them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we have come across some essay requirements in which the teachers have specifically asked for subheadings that indicate the central theme or idea which is being discussed in each section. <strong>If you are going to have subheadings in an essay though, then you should avoid numbering them<\/strong> as you would in other academic papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Taking_assignment_structures_from_the_requirements_files\"><\/span>Taking assignment structures from the requirements files<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most teachers expect to see a standard structure in their assignments which helps them identify and assess the key learning outcomes of the module or the assignment. It is often the case that they will leave you some breadcrumbs by spelling out an assignment outline clearly within the requirements file, or in the presentations linked to the coursework, or perhaps during their lectures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, a structure would not have been defined clearly in the assignment requirements file, but there are ways to still get an almost explicit list of necessary headings such as by dissecting the marking guidelines which your tutors typically provide. We cover this in our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/gradmode.com\/method-to-get-better-grades-easily\/\">how to get better grades using a surefire method<\/a> of drafting an outline which matches what the teachers are expecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other teachers like to spice things up and give you free rein to structure your paper anyway you see it, but with this freedom of choice, you may find yourselves lost if you\u2019re quite new to academic writing. In any of these cases, you can go over the upcoming list of standard sections and subsections that are present in academic papers to cross-check whether you have covered the relevant parts in your papers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some students, particularly those in their freshman years, tend to overthink things and try to go for assignment structures that are unnecessarily complicated, thinking this will help them stand out from their peers and get better grades.
