Academic Skills @ ECU - different types of assignments
Assignments can have different structures and be organised differently based on their types. However, all assignments should include an introduction, a body that is divided into paragraphs, a conclusion, a clear purpose, and logical organisation of ideas. If you want to learn more about how to structure different types of assignments, please visit Academic Skills @ ECU on Canvas.
