Writing Assignments/ Research Report and Documentation

Abstract

In physical and health Education, Students write either individual or group assignments. It must be pointed out here that even project writing is included in what constitute assignment writing since almost the same structure is followed only with a little difference. Whether one is writing either assignment to be submitted for continuous assessment in a particular course in the subject or researching on a topic/title so approved by the project supervisor, certain basic things to make the work acceptable must be noted which include the following. I. There must be clarity of language in which simple words and short sentences arc used. 2. Accuracy in grammatical expression in which spelling errors are avoided. Obviously any errors in your report can never be shifted to any typist, so take time to do your proofreading. 3. The opening sentence and paragraph of your writing assignment and/or/report should reflect the content of the text of the assignment/report or the paragraph in question. It is necessary that you make the first paragraph a focal point to all that there is in the write- up or report. 4. Ensure a logical organization of the contents of the write up or report using only one idea in each paragraph. A paragraph cannot be just a single sentence. 5. Avoid the use of personal pronouns such as 'I', 'me', 'our' and so on. 6. There is no specific rule about the length of your project report since it depends on the major variables in the topic. It should be long enough to ensure adequate presentation: but do not make it.
