Task: Identify how much time you have for each part of your assignment to set realistic milestones along the way
What to do
Starting with the final date for submission, work backwards to identify how much time you have to complete the assignment.
Use the template below to write the time for each stage, record these times into your planner. These steps enable you to plan out the seven key stages in the process of producing many written assignments:
- Clarifying and planning the task
- Researching (collecting and recording information)
- Organising and linking material
- Reflecting, evaluating and critiquing
- Writing an outline and first draft
- Writing draft versions
- Completing the task / final checks: this includes the final deadline for submission
