Hi
If you send work please do not call the document CV.doc because everyones is called that call it
your_name_CV.doc it just makes it nicer for the person receiving it. In other words name it for them they have lots of CVs coming in potentially; don't name it for you - you only have one CV so calling it CV for the context of your computer not theirs.
When you are writing a shorter text (like less than 10,000 words) you don't need to spend time telling us what you will be writing.
"I will show that…"
just do it!! Starting like that is just away to get the reader to understand what will be happening because there is so much text they might loose track but if the text is short there is no need to say that just show it by writing it.
At the same time remember to situate what you are writing about, you are thinking about it all the time but the person reading it might not be thinking about what you are doing at all. Start with an overview of what the text is about in terms of where it sits and why you are writing it.
The bibliography is a part of the text. It should not be a separate document. It is the extended information of the citations and quotes you are using.
Hope that helps….

Adesola, just module 1 student here but just wanting to be clear 10,000 words is considered a short text? or was it 1000 words. Just wanted to make sure as I wondered what to put in my introduction for my AOL and will leave out 'signposting' at the beginning, but as you suggested 'situate' it and give it context instead. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe 10,000 is not that short!! but I wanted to make a point that 1000 or 2000 words is not so many even though it feels like it at first. i am suggesting don't take up 1/4 of 1000 words explaining what you will be saying - just say it.
