How Do I Become a Registered Behavior Technician ™ (RBT ® )?

The Registered Behavior Technician™ (RBT®) is a paraprofessional who practices under the close and ongoing supervision of either a Board Certified Behavior Analyst® (BCBA®), Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst® (BCaBA®), or other individual meeting the BACB® requirements for noncertified RBT supervisors . The RBT is the individual who helps train and implement many of the procedures outlined in a formal behavior services plan, as written and supervised by a BCBA. While an individual may have the generic job title of “ABA Technician,” the term, “RBT” following your name indicates that you have met the rigorous requirements allowing you to earn this nationally recognized professional credential (see below).

“I just wanted to drop in and say THANK YOU to all of my instructors. I took the RBT exam today and passed and was more prepared than I thought. This course has been constructed very well to prepare someone for the exam. I used the B quizzes and final assessment to help me prepare for the RBT exam. I am a terrible nervous test taker, and as I went through it, I felt like I knew the material, and given what I saw as multiple right answers, I could confidently answer, which I learned was the best answer. So, I just want to express my gratitude for the prep, effort, and time that goes into this course.”

Overview of RBT Requirements

BACB.com Logo

An Overview of RBT Requirements

The RBT is a credential given by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board® (BACB). After students complete 40-hours of training, applicants must demonstrate that they can competently perform the tasks on the Initial Competency Assessment , as part of the requirements to qualify for RBT certification.

The Initial Competency Assessment 

An RBT applicant must have their skills assessed as part of the credentialing process. Who does this assessment? The BACB defines a “responsible assessor” of the RBT applicant as follows:

A BACB Certificant (BCaBA, BCBA, or BCBA-D®) who has completed the 8-hour supervision training is responsible for overseeing the Competency Assessment. The responsible assessor must ensure that the assessment is conducted in accordance with these requirements: 

  • Sign the Initial Competency Assessment.
  • Maintain records of all assessments conducted; and
  • Ensure that the assessment meets quality standards, even when assistant assessor(s) are involved in conducting the assessment. 

NOTE: The Florida Tech RBT Essentials Training Program does NOT provide this competency assessment service. Students must be assessed by a qualified assessor at their place of employment who meets the above requirements.

RBT Eligibility Flow Chart

RBT information on requirements and eligibility can also be found on the BACB website.

Counting toward a final mark or grade, coursework considers one of the most crucial assignments during the class. It involves two main stages: doing research or experiment; presenting findings, and freshly acquired knowledge in a digestible form. While the first phase excites students, the second one strikes fear in the heart and causes real trouble. Let us get to the basics of this type of assignment to nail it no matter what.

What Is a Coursework?

Coursework is work assigned to students or trainees to improve specific skills and upgrade their learning experience. Basically, it involves two main stages. The first one includes practice, experimentation, or research. The second stage implies writing a coursework essay or completing writing assignments such as dissertations or book reports. It can be seen in all fields of study, from Business to Computer Science to Literature.

As a rule, coursework accompanies exams and is crucial when determining overall course scores. However, unlike final tests, it provides students with plenty of time for completion, from a couple of days to several weeks. On top of that, students are welcome to use any help they can find during this process.

Importance to Write a Coursework

Writing coursework is crucial for every student because of providing these benefits:

  • It broadens knowledge.
  • It enhances research skills.
  • It demonstrates a person's ability to discuss, reason, and construct practical outcomes from learned theoretical knowledge.
  • It improves communication skills since some work is done in groups, so students need to learn how to collaborate to achieve a common goal.
  • It inspires confidence in a person's ability to do a grand job.

Main Obstacle of Producing a Top-grade Coursework

Recent surveys show that in the majority of cases, students do not find issued tasks challenging, even though some of them are daunting, tricky, and even controversial. What they have found difficult is the proper presentation of the final work.

Indeed, over 80% of postgraduates believe the first phase, which involves experiments, research, and acquiring new knowledge in the field, to be quite exciting. However, the second stage, which implies expressing your thoughts, presenting results, and convincing the teacher that you have done a great job using the only written word, is believed to be a true nightmare and a challenge. The reason for that is simple; not everyone has good writing skills. Plus, almost everyone experiences a writing block that slows down the process and causes stress.

To make matters worse, students have to handle some other bumps on the road to success, for instance

  • They need to avoid accusations of plagiarism.
  • They need to avoid focusing on external approval because it may shut down creativity.
  • They need to meet strict deadlines.
  • They need to balance education and personal life, including work or volunteering.
  • They need to do extensive research.
  • They need to finish other assignments.

Where to Get Coursework Help?

Coursework help may come in different forms. It can be coursework assistance provided by the teacher or instructor during lessons or special meetings in high school. Alternatively, it can be an online coursework help provided by tutors through digital means of communication.

Pandemic and its severe restrictions have boosted many services whose task is to provide coursework help online. Let us consider the classification of these platforms to know what help you might get.

Types of Coursework Help Services

Coursework help services come in all shapes and sizes to meet teachers' most sophisticated needs and highest expectations. Let us consider the most popular ones:

  • Custom coursework help.
  • Creating coursework from scratch.
  • Rewriting coursework.
  • Proofreading coursework.
  • Review coursework to get vital feedback for improvement.
  • Citations help.
  • Creating supporting PowerPoint presentations.

Whatever problem or issue you have, you may undoubtedly get professional help with coursework regardless of its niche, subject, requirements, and deadline.

But, what if you do not need any assistance provided by coursework services and all you crave is just a little push and guidance to do this task yourself. Then you can opt in favor of an oldie but goodie collection of professionally written and edited coursework examples since they meet those needs and offer so many benefits without compromising your time, effort, and budget.

Benefits of Using Coursework Examples

Getting cousework help through exploring coursework samples offers a bunch of benefits. For instance,

  • They show what you need to score that top-notch mark.
  • They give insights on how to improve the reading experience.
  • They help to infuse your work with some unique and exciting passages.
  • They offer an alternative view of the topic that may generate new ideas.
  • They display the ideal order of the content and adequate evaluation of evidence.
  • They show how to organize arguments and counterarguments to support students' positions and opinions.
  • They give insights on how to create a smooth transition between abstracts making one idea flow into another without tension and using words that are understandable by people at any level.
  • They demonstrate more up to the point writing.
  • They ensure no unnecessary deduction in marks that may occur due to incorrect formatting.
  • They have correct grammar and the right tone of language that students may easily imitate in their papers to level them up.
  • They stick to format rules showing the right way to implement instructions to meet university standards and teachers' instructions.
  • They help students to focus on their tasks without losing nerves.
  • They ease stress and help students avoid drama and mental issues.
  • They save students precious time, letting them focus on more critical tasks or dedicate their efforts to experiments and social work that may improve their coursework with real-life experience.
  • They give a much-needed boost to kick off the work and, most importantly, overcome writing block.

All you need to enjoy all those benefits is to find a reliable platform that offers college coursework help. Though, this is not a problem because there are a bunch of them in the wild.

How to Write Top-Grade Coursework? Best Practices

Completing coursework is a hard nut to crack; however, making it worth a top grade is even harder. However, no obstacle is insurmountable if you know what to do. Many teachers and top-level postgraduates suggest using as much help as possible and following the best practices.

Therefore, consider these tips shared by professionals to help you in this matter:

  • Stop trying to write a good completely free essays online . Let your creative juices flow.
  • Take your time and do extensive research.
  • Ask yourself, "What surprises me about this subject the most?" Focus on your answer and build your story around this finding or discovery.
  • Write three to five sentences covering your most crucial points.
  • Quote sources liberally throughout your paper. If you are not allowed to quote, you can re-phrase what has been said in your own words and give proper credit. Also, make sure 60% of the content belongs to you, while 40% are quotes or paraphrases from your sources to avoid sounding too "source" heavy.
  • When creating a draft, write in this order: first – body, then – introduction, after that – conclusion.
  • Reach the required word count. Stay to the point but be descriptive and argumentative.
  • Make sure your arguments flow smoothly from one idea to another.
  • Last but not least, if you feel something is wrong with your paper or requires some polish, do not be afraid to check and proofread it on platforms that offer coursework online help.

Academic writing is an essential activity in higher education and comes in various forms. Basically, one of these forms is coursework writing, where instructors assess students’ levels of understanding of a course during a semester. Unlike other papers, coursework assignments evaluate students’ understanding of a particular course and not just a topic in a class. Besides, various forms of coursework writing include essays, term papers, theses, dissertations, report projects, and others. Hence, people need to learn what is a coursework assignment and how to write such a paper effectively.

General Aspects

College and university students undertake different kinds of academic exercises, with writing projects taking a significant portion of their grades. Basically, one of these exercises is the writing of a coursework paper, an assignment they submit at the end of their semester. This kind of work also assesses students’ understanding of a particular field of study within a single semester. In turn, instructors rarely require someone to write a paper for things they learned during a previous semester. Therefore, coursework entails completing various writing assignments, such as essays, research projects, experiments, and presentations that assess a student’s understanding and application of a subject material.

What Is a Coursework and Its Purpose

According to its definition, coursework is an academic project assignment that students are required to undertake as part of their educational curriculum and which they must submit before a final closure of an entire semester. The primary purpose of writing a coursework assignment is to evaluate learners’ levels of knowledge and skills acquisition, meaning such a project contributes to their final grades (Godfrey, 2022). Ideally, coursework is what students learn during a semester, and such an assignment is meant to measure how well they have understood a subject matter. Moreover, individuals use reliable and relevant sources to study, examine, and evaluate a chosen coursework topic (Haines, 2021). As such, this task is very similar to other academic assignments, such as essays, research papers, reports, thesis writing, dissertations, and other types of papers . In terms of pages and words, the length of a coursework assignment depends on academic levels, subjects, institution’s requirements, and its nature and scope, while general guidelines are:

High School

  • Length: 6-10 pages
  • Words: 1,500-2,500 words
  • Length: 10-16 pages
  • Words: 2,500-4,000 words

University (Undergraduate)

  • Length: 16-24 pages
  • Words: 4,000-6,000 words

Master’s

  • Length: 24-32 pages
  • Words: 6,000-8,000 words
  • Length: 32-52 pages or more (depending on the complexity and depth of the research)
  • Words: 8,000-13,000 words or more

Coursework

SectionContent
Title PageIncludes a specific title of a coursework project, student’s name, instructor’s name, course name, and date.
Table of ContentsOutlines all the sections and subsections with page numbers.
Abstract/Executive SummaryPresents a brief summary of an entire paper, including main objectives, methods, results, and conclusions. Typically, its length is about 150-250 words.
IntroductionIntroduces an assigned topic, provides background information, states a research question or thesis, and outlines a primary purpose and objectives of an entire coursework.
Literature ReviewReviews relevant literature, highlighting key theories, concepts, and studies related to a picked topic.
MethodologyDescribes research methods and procedures used to collect and analyze data and includes details about a study design, participants, instruments, and procedures.
ResultsPresents key findings of a particular research or analysis and includes tables, graphs, and charts to illustrate these results.
DiscussionInterprets obtained results, discussing their implications, significance, and relevance to a research question or thesis, addresses any limitations, and suggests areas for future research.
ConclusionSummarizes central findings and arguments, reiterates a study’s significance, and provides a final thought or call to action.
List of ReferencesProvides all the sources cited in a whole coursework and formatted according to a specific citation style (e.g., APA, MLA, Harvard, or Chicago/Turabian).
AppendicesIncludes any additional material, such as raw data, detailed calculations, or supplementary information, that supports a main text but is too lengthy to include in its main sections.

Note: Some sections of a coursework paper can be added, deleted, or combined with each other, and it depends on specific college instructions. However, a typical structure of coursework covers a title page, table of contents, abstract/executive summary, introduction with a thesis or research question, literature review, methods, results, discussion, conclusion, references, and appendices.

Differences With Other Papers

In any course of their classes, students write different types of papers, including essays, research papers, and reports. Basically, the major difference between coursework writing and these papers is that it assesses people’ understanding of what they have discovered throughout a semester (Couch, 2021). In contrast, essays and other papers assess learners’ understanding of a specific topic, concept, result, or theory. Moreover, students may need to address an issue in their project they might have covered in an essay assignment sometime during a previous semester. As such, a coursework assignment is broader in scope than other papers.

Expectations

Like essays and other papers, a coursework assignment varies from one area of study to another. For example, there is a coursework for the English subject and another for the sciences (Godfrey, 2022). Therefore, individuals are expected to complete their coursework assignments according to their instructor’s or department’s instructions. In most cases, this expectation includes presenting an assignment in an essay format, where they select a title of their choice. Depending on a specific subject, some assignments expect students to collect, examine, infer, and report data when answering a specific question (Haines, 2021). Finally, in college, coursework refers to writing assignments, projects, and tasks students must complete as part of their academic curriculum to demonstrate their understanding and application of a subject material.

When it comes to a grading aspect of academic assignments, instructors look at how well a student has attended to all the requirements and expectations. For instance, these requirements include writing about a choice of themes or text excerpts in a given format (Haines, 2021). In essence, people must use a good approach they believe is likely to give them a higher grade, meaning a technique that helps them to answer a specific question methodically, logically, and critically by using relevant information. In essence, these are three dimensions for grading a coursework assignment (Couch, 2021). As such, to write a coursework paper effectively, one should conduct thorough research, follow a clear and organized structure, adhere to given guidelines, and proofread a final document to ensure accuracy and coherence.

Steps on How to Write a Coursework Paper

Like an essay, a coursework assignment takes a particular structure. Basically, students should understand core components and make sure they address them in their academic writing (Bjorn et al., 2022). In this case, the most significant issue for writers is to ensure a logical flow of ideas. Moreover, developing a thesis statement is essential to provide high-quality essays with a guideline on focal issues. Primarily, these issues are class concepts and theories a person has learned in a specific course during a semester (Godfrey, 2022). As a result, to write coursework, students thoroughly research their topics, create detailed outlines, adhere to specified formats, draft their content clearly and concisely, and proofread their papers for any mistakes.

Step 1: Preparation

Planning or preparation is the first step in writing a coursework paper. For instance, an essence of any form of academic writing is to measure a person’s level of understanding about a particular area of study (Haines, 2021). To start coursework, students begin by carefully reviewing assignment guidelines, conducting preliminary research to understand their assigned topics, and outlining main points and structure of their papers. Since such an project measures what a student has learned in a given course, it is paramount for each person to prepare well when executing an assignment. Here, learners have to choose a topic that they are comfortable with, one that they are passionate about. Additionally, they should generate ideas about their coursework by deciding what is relevant and what is not. In principle, a typical reasoning that guides this decision is a particular expectation outlined in assignment instructions (Godfrey, 2022). Lastly, people should understand their audience – consumers of their work or readers. Like any other assignment, a target audience is course instructors. Hence, writers should ensure their class projects satisfy a curiosity of readers. In turn, some examples of sentence starters for beginning a coursework paper include:

  • In recent years, the topic of [subject] has gained a significant attention due to its direct impact on [related field/issue], while this coursework aims to explore … .
  • The origins of [subject] can be traced back to [year/era], when [important event/person] first introduced a particular concept of … .
  • Understanding [subject] is crucial for [reason/field], as it offers more insights into [related concept or application], and this paper seeks to examine … .
  • Currently, [subject] is experiencing a period of rapid development, with new research and advancements being made in areas, such as … .
  • By exploring a research question: [research question], this paper aims to examine [purpose of the study] … .
  • While much has been written about [subject], there remains a significant knowledge gap in a current literature regarding [specific aspect], which this paper will investigate … .
  • During my studies/experience in [related field], I observed [specific phenomenon], which prompted me to investigate [subject] more thoroughly … .
  • According to recent statistics, [relevant statistic] highlights the importance of [subject], which this coursework will explore … .
  • As [author/expert] once said, ‘[relevant quote],’ this statement underscores a real significance of [subject], which will be a particular focus of this paper in … .
  • This coursework is based on a particular hypothesis that [hypothesis statement], and this comprehensive analysis and research will seek to prove/disprove … .

Step 2: Setting Up

After preparation, people should set up the stage for coursework writing. Basically, a first preoccupation is to find sources relevant to an assignment prompt – those that are more likely to provide enough evidence and support needed claims. As scholars review credible sources, they should take notes to provide a strong argumentation in their projects (Walter & Stouck, 2020). Then, another activity involves deciding on a coursework outline, which should help to answer an assignment prompt logically and critically. Lastly, learners should create an annotated bibliography, a summary of each source they intend to use as a valid basis for their arguments in an entire document.

Step 3: Writing a First Draft

After preparing and setting up the stage, students should start writing a first version of their coursework assignment. In this case, armed with notes taken during a review of reliable sources and an outline they have created, people should start with a first draft, where they develop a thesis statement. Basing all opinions and arguments on a thesis, writers should answer an assignment prompt methodically, logically, and critically. For example, a coursework statement is a concise declaration of a main objective or thesis that an entire project aims to explore and demonstrate (Godfrey, 2022). Moreover, a thesis statement should ‘hook’ a target audience and make them interested in reading a substantial part of a paper – a body. In essence, a body section is where students use all the evidence they have gathered about an assigned topic, while a thesis informs a target audience of what individuals have focused on in their papers. As a result, any coursework paper adopts a typical outline, as indicated below:

  • Table of Contents
  • Abstract or Executive Summary
  • Introduction
  • Body Paragraph(s)
  • Reference List
  • Appendices (Optional)

Step 4: Wrapping It Up

It is normal for a writer to make mistakes when writing an academic document. For example, these mistakes include inconsistent arguments, irrelevant content, punctuation errors, and countless grammatical mistakes (Haines, 2021). Therefore, after completing a first draft, writers should read it through, at least twice, to identify these mistakes and correct them. Basically, common processes of correction include revising and editing a written paper. Regarding revisions, students should give their work to a friend or mentor to read it through. In their feedback, these individuals are likely to point out areas where authors should make corrections for their papers to be logical and interesting to read. Concerning editing a complete document, people should proofread their work to ensure it is free of spelling mistakes, punctuation errors, and other grammatical mishaps.

Step 5: Developing Body Paragraphs

A body paragraph of any academic text, including a coursework assignment, utilizes several features to make a whole paper logical. Basically, the first feature is writing a topic sentence that opens up each paragraph (Couch, 2021). In principle, a primary purpose of this feature is to strengthen a central idea captured in a thesis statement. Then, the rest of a single paragraph structure backs up this claim using evidence gathered from different sources. In turn, another feature is a concluding sentence, which closes each paragraph (Godfrey, 2022). As such, a main goal of this aspect is to connect a topic sentence with a thesis statement. Finally, another feature is transition words and phrases that help readers to sense a logical flow of ideas throughout a whole paper. In short, writers use transitions within and between paragraphs to create a logical flow of information and ideas.

Step 6: Referencing Format and Peer Reviewing

Besides ensuring an entire paper is written methodically and logically, authors should see it meets the highest academic writing standards. In this regard, they should ensure it follows a particular format – APA, MLA, Harvard, or Chicago/Turabian. In most cases, an assignment prompt dictates a specific format learners should use. Moreover, a particular referencing manual informs about a typical structure of a whole paper and its format of citations. In turn, another essential activity that students should perform is to commit a complete document to peer review. Here, authors give coursework papers to distinguished scholars, such as a professor or classmate, to assess an overall validity and quality of information used, including sources.

Step 7: Writing a Final Draft

After subjecting a first draft to vigorous scrutiny through revisions, editions, and peer review, people should start writing a final draft of a coursework paper. Basically, this draft should be thoroughly polished, meaning it should be free of spelling, punctuation, and grammatical mistakes, as well as inconsistent arguments and irrelevant sentences (Lawrence, 2020). Moreover, it should indicate an effective use of transitions in paper’s body paragraphs. In short, a final draft is an improved version of a first draft because writers have revised and edited it and incorporated feedback from a friend, mentor, or professor. However, they still need to read through a final draft, at least once, to ensure it is perfect before submission to a grading department. In turn, if someone notes several mistakes, it means another revision is necessary. Hence, a student’s focus should be a correct content, organization of ideas, style of writing, and format.

Types of Coursework

Given that coursework assignments test students’ levels of understanding about a course’s content in a given semester, it means such a project takes several writing forms. For example, these documents include a term paper, a Master’s thesis, a dissertation, or a report project (Godfrey, 2022). Ideally, such a composition is an essential requirement for a student to complete an entire course successfully. It also means such a project is essential to be awarded a degree. Moreover, the only difference between these types of coursework assignments is that they take a different approach to examining and analyzing a course’s content, with each subject taking a unique approach. In turn, common types of coursework projects include:

TypeContent
EssayA written document that talks about a specific topic or argument and requires analysis and critical thinking.
Research PaperAn in-depth study on a specific topic that involves gathering, analyzing, and interpreting data and evidence from various credible sources.
Laboratory ReportA detailed account of an experiment, including methodology, results, and analysis of findings.
Case StudyAn examination of a particular instance or event, analyzing it in detail to draw conclusions or lessons.
ProjectA comprehensive task that often includes research, design, and implementation, resulting in a final product or presentation.
PresentationAn oral or visual display of research or knowledge on a particular topic, using PowerPoint slides or other visual aids.
PortfolioA collection of work samples that demonstrate skills, competencies, and achievements over a period of time.
Dissertation/ThesisAn extensive and original piece of research conducted independently, and such a paper is required for completing a degree program.
Annotated BibliographyA list of found sources with brief descriptions and evaluations of each, and such an assignment is used as a preparatory step for a research project.
Creative WorkA project that involves creating original content, such as a piece of art, literature, or a multimedia presentation.

Writing Techniques

The dream of every student is to pass any assessment and attain a higher grade. In a coursework assignment, learners can utilize different techniques to ensure they attain higher grades after assessments (Haines, 2021). As indicated earlier about a grading aspect of coursework, writers should use an approach they believe answers an assignment prompt methodically, logically, and critically. As a result, every technique they use must allow them to answer a specific question in a way that satisfies these three grading dimensions.

Compare and Contrast

A compare and contrast essay technique is about analyzing two subjects, ideas, concepts, or theories by comparing them, contrasting them, or doing both. Basically, a primary purpose of answering a coursework assignment through this writing approach is that students must not state obvious things (Couch, 2021). Instead, they need to shed light on subtle differences or unexpected similarities between subjects, ideas, concepts, or theories.

Cause and Effect

A cause and effect essay technique allows writers to develop their paper’s body by analyzing possible reasons for and consequences of a decision, action, or event. When organizing a paragraph, students adopt a structure that allows them to arrange defined causes and effects in a chronological or reverse chronological order (Godfrey, 2022). Alternatively, authors can present their arguments through emphasis, starting from least important to most important aspects, or vice versa.

Investigation

An investigation technique involves undertaking an in-depth examination of a topic, idea, concept, or theory. Basically, this technique’s primary goal is to demonstrate that students have gained a thorough knowledge of a specific subject, which is indicated in their methodical, logical, and critical analysis and presentation of information. In esense, ensuring research findings are interpreted and presented in an organized manner throughout a research paper is critical (Walter & Stouck, 2020). Ultimately, such a technique enables writers to demonstrate their articulate understanding of various viewpoints about a particular issue under investigation. 

How to Present Strong Arguments

For an academic paper to capture an audience’s attention and interest, students must not only develop a thesis statement but also ensure they use strong arguments to back up a central idea in a main statement. Basically, the “they say, I say” technique is the simplest method to present arguments properly (Couch, 2021). In this regard, the information that a person uses in answering a coursework assignment prompt should be free of plagiarism and cite all sources properly. Then, another way to ensure an entire writing is persuasive is to confirm that authors have attained a required word count limit without counting footnotes, endnotes, references, and appendices (Haines, 2021). Ideally, selecting a topic that one is comfortable with and passionate about enables an overall writing to be high-quality in terms of argumentation. Besides, students should discuss alternatives with their mentor or instructor. Finally, a thesis statement should not be complicated.

Scope of Research

Students make different kinds of mistakes when writing academic texts. For example, a common mistake in coursework writing involves a scope, where students fail to focus on one area of a particular topic and instead try to be broad in their argumentation (Godfrey, 2022). In principle, they may waste space talking about irrelevant material, leaving them with little space to write about a core idea. As such, an effective solution to this problem is to develop a thesis statement that sets out a paper’s specific agenda. In doing so, authors can realize every time they go off-topic.

Colloquialism

By considering colloquialisms, students may use a language that is not standard for academic writing. Essentially, this problem is particularly common with learners who become excited about a specific topic and try to express their ideas creatively (Haines, 2021). Moreover, a whole project shifts from being evidence-based to a document about an author’s opinion. In turn, a particular solution to such a problem is to pick a topic that is exciting and critically discussed in an existing literature. As a result, students can identify several sources that discuss their assigned topics to use as bases for evidence of their claims and arguments about their central themes.

Common Mistakes

  • Lack of Clarity in Thesis Statement: Failing to clearly define a main argument or purpose of an entire paper can lead to a lack of focus throughout a coursework project.
  • Insufficient Research: Relying on too few sources or not consulting credible and up-to-date references can weaken an overall quality and depth of an analysis.
  • Poor Organization: Not following a logical writing structure can make a paper difficult to follow due to an inadequate flow of ideas.
  • Overuse of Quotations: Excessively quoting sources rather than paraphrasing or synthesizing information can make a whole paper seem unoriginal and reduce an author’s voice.
  • Ignoring Formatting Guidelines: Not adhering to a required citation style (e.g., APA, MLA, Harvard, or Chicago/Turabian) or formatting instructions can result in a loss of marks.
  • Lack of Proofreading: Submitting a paper with grammatical errors, typos, and spelling mistakes can undermine an overall professionalism and readability of a project.
  • Inadequate Analysis: Simply describing sources without critically analyzing or interpreting the information can lead to writing a biased paper.
  • Failure to Address a Prompt: Straying from an assigned topic or not fully addressing a coursework prompt can result in an irrelevant or incomplete paper.
  • Plagiarism: Copying text without proper citing attribution, even unintentionally, can lead to serious academic consequences.
  • Weak Conclusion: Ending a coursework paper without a clear closure or failing to adequately summarize key findings and implications can leave any reader unsatisfied.

Coursework vs. Research Paper

Ideally, an outline of a coursework assignment is similar to that of a research paper. In this case, an abstract serves as a brief overview of a research paper and informs readers of writer’s focal points. More importantly, such an outline has a body, where writers use different paragraphs to make an argument about a specific topic. In turn, each of the paragraphs begins with a topic sentence and ends with a concluding sentence. Like research papers, body paragraphs of a coursework assignment serve to cement writer’s claims and arguments, which are linked to a thesis statement.

Students should master following tips when it comes to writing a coursework assignment:

  • Choose an exciting topic and stick to it. Basically, students come across tons of exciting information about their topic. However, to avoid going off-script, they should focus on their core subject and avoid a particular temptation of using data that may prove irrelevant.
  • Use evidence (quotes and statistics) selectively. In principle, relevancy is a significant indicator of a high-grade paper. As such, where authors are not going to refer to some data directly because it adds no value to their argument, they should avoid dwelling on it in their paper.
  • Cite sources correctly. When citing sources, writers should note format standards in use – APA, MLA, Harvard, or Chicago/Turabian – as each has a unique approach.
  • Revise, edit, and proofread a complete paper. High-quality coursework writing should be free of inconsistent arguments, irrelevant sentences, and spelling, punctuation, and grammatical mistakes.

A coursework project is among writing assignments that students in colleges and universities undertake in preparation for their degree. Unlike other papers, this assignment assesses learners’ understanding of what they have learned in a course in a given semester. As such, students must complete and submit it before a semester comes to closure. Finally, different types of coursework include essays, term papers, theses, dissertations, and report projects.

What is Coursework? A Guide for Students

Read Time: 4 min

What is coursework an ultimate guide to coursework writing

Coursework is the most significant part of academic writing and requires a lot of time and effort. You should consider the guidance of your teachers and your seniors who have similar experiences in writing coursework. This makes the process of working faster and more effective, which leads to the best outcomes. This guide will help you to understand what coursework is and how to write coursework effectively, based on expert tips from our  coursework writing service team.

What is Coursework?

Coursework consists of all basic assignments given to students to evaluate their level of understanding. It includes many types of assignments, such as essay writing, research papers, discussion boards, and written reports. To get excellent grades and grade point averages (GPA), students must understand the basic concepts of their courses. Coursework is difficult to define, even though it is usually important to complete a specific program. This kind of assignment can be completed in a wide range of formats. 

Importance of Coursework

Coursework is the most common type of assignment that teachers give students to understand their level of learning on a specific topic or subject. Moreover, it shows how well a student understands and uses the topic in various contexts. Through coursework writing, students may improve their research abilities, increase their understanding of a subject, develop their analytical skills, and apply the knowledge they have discovered to use independently. Furthermore, students learn to summarize the topic with key arguments and then draw conclusions by learning  how to write coursework . 

Types of Coursework

Five different types of coursework are given to students:

Types of coursework writing

Analytical Coursework

Analytical Coursework presents a thesis statement or claim and demonstrates how to study different things. It usually focuses on the literary style of the text rather than the synopsis.

Supportive Commentary

Supportive Commentary helps students to create a single piece of media writing. Coursework should be written in an experimental mode, such as written, spoken, or multimodal. Students must also include a supporting statement that contains all the information and aspects. 

Journal Coursework

Writing journals for coursework is regarded as an act that promotes casual writing as a regular activity. This can take many different forms and is useful for multiple purposes. It can be both creative and personal. In order to organize their thoughts, compose their ideas, and respond to them, students are always expected to keep journals as part of their coursework.

Analytical Study

Analytical study is the process of sharing an analysis of the chosen work and how it relates to the relevant material. It also shows how well the writer understands the entire process of writing. Students should use proper vocabulary and must maintain word consistency. Also, understand the structure and format of writing.  

Commentary and Creative Writing

In commentary and creative writing coursework, students are asked to generate creative content that reflects the tone or style of the assessed text. It also helps to share comments to support the knowledge. Additionally, the major purpose of creative writing and commentary is to demonstrate knowledge, test skills, and engage the target audience through various languages.

Coursework Writing Tips

There are some key points that you should keep in mind while writing coursework. 

Tips for writing coursework

It is the worst possible scenario for any kind of academic writing assignment. Today, the internet has tons of relevant information, and professors become rigorous in the context of plagiarism. Your own words should be used in all writing! Use the advised citation style and make a references list if you choose to include quotations from the sources. Claim that it is your own project and sign the declaration.

Keep in mind the precise guidelines for the coursework’s length. Specify whether the references, appendices, and footnotes are counted as part of the word count.

Browse the possible topics. Try to pick a relevant coursework topic that is similar to the subject of the upcoming exam if one will be held on it. 

Get Help from Tutor

Never ignore your teacher’s advice; ask for their guidance on your topic. Also, to learn more, ask questions, but remember they may only read the first draft once and give general suggestions.

Perfect Coursework Writing Structure

The precision required for coursework writing depends not only on the writing process but also on the design. Even if you produce a stunning and thoroughly researched paper for the professor, poor design will still result in bad grades. We have chosen the most significant components to build a flawless coursework structure for you after reviewing many coursework standards. The structure consists of the following main components:

Introduction or Opening

The first step is to write the coursework introduction after choosing a topic. This introduction section needs to be extraordinary to catch the reader’s attention. Make sure to include all essential details, and keep it brief or precise. 

Include any background data about the topic you have chosen. Write down your goals as well. This section should contain your thesis statement. Also, write the introduction in such a way that it serves as the reader’s guide.

Main Body 

Your hard work and dedication will be reflected in this section. In the body section, you should add every minute detail you discovered on your research journey. Additionally, this section will be written in the past tense with an informative tone. 

Readers may find research findings boring because they are just stats and figures. Therefore, this section should include appealing tables, graphs, infographics, and charts to make it interesting. Mention each statistic as it is; do not change any findings. 

Summarize your whole coursework in this section. The conclusion needs to be short while covering all the details. You might mention the essential takeaways from the coursework.

Research : Gather information from primary and secondary sources, ensuring accuracy and reliability. Keep detailed notes and organize them in a table for easy reference.

Planning : Create a rough outline, deciding what to include in each section. Use a timeline to manage your tasks and meet deadlines.

Drafting : Start writing with the section you know best, using coursework examples to illustrate your points. Focus on gradually narrowing down your topic.

Editing : Proofread for consistency, style, grammar, and punctuation errors using tools like Grammarly. Ensure the document meets word count and formatting requirements, allowing time for thorough editing.

Formative vs Summative Coursework Assessments

Formative assessment assesses students’ understanding of a subject by offering them practice in essay creation and structure which can also be beneficial for tasks like  term paper writing . It assists students in evaluating their strengths and weaknesses and focuses on areas that require improvement. Moreover, formative assessments help instructors identify students’ areas of difficulty and take action to resolve issues

Summative assessments , on the other hand, evaluate students’ knowledge at the end of the semester. Summative assessment includes mid-term exams and final-year projects. When completing courses, it is vital to understand the type of review you are submitting. If you understand the cocoursework’seaning and finish your assignments on time, you might obtain an A+.

Brief history of different grading systems

In 1785, students at Yale were ranked based on "optimi" being the highest rank, followed by second optimi, inferiore (lower), and pejores (worse). At William and Mary, students were ranked as either No. 1, or No. 2, where No. 1 represented students that were first in their class, while No. 2 represented those who were "orderly, correct and attentive." Meanwhile at Harvard, students were graded based on a numerical system from 1-200 (except for math and philosophy where 1-100 was used). Later, shortly after 1883, Harvard used a system of "Classes" where students were either Class I, II, III, IV, or V, with V representing a failing grade. All of these examples show the subjective, arbitrary, and inconsistent nature with which different institutions graded their students, demonstrating the need for a more standardized, albeit equally arbitrary grading system.

In 1887, Mount Holyoke College became the first college to use letter grades similar to those commonly used today. The college used a grading scale with the letters A, B, C, D, and E, where E represented a failing grade. This grading system however, was far stricter than those commonly used today, with a failing grade being defined as anything below 75%. The college later re-defined their grading system, adding the letter F for a failing grade (still below 75%). This system of using a letter grading scale became increasingly popular within colleges and high schools, eventually leading to the letter grading systems typically used today. However, there is still significant variation regarding what may constitute an A, or whether a system uses plusses or minuses (i.e. A+ or B-), among other differences.

An alternative to the letter grading system

Letter grades provide an easy means to generalize a student's performance. They can be more effective than qualitative evaluations in situations where "right" or "wrong" answers can be easily quantified, such as an algebra exam, but alone may not provide a student with enough feedback in regards to an assessment like a written paper (which is much more subjective).

Although a written analysis of each individual student's work may be a more effective form of feedback, there exists the argument that students and parents are unlikely to read the feedback, and that teachers do not have the time to write such an analysis. There is precedence for this type of evaluation system however, in Saint Ann's School in New York City, an arts-oriented private school that does not have a letter grading system. Instead, teachers write anecdotal reports for each student. This method of evaluation focuses on promoting learning and improvement, rather than the pursuit of a certain letter grade in a course. For better or for worse however, these types of programs constitute a minority in the United States, and though the experience may be better for the student, most institutions still use a fairly standard letter grading system that students will have to adjust to. The time investment that this type of evaluation method requires of teachers/professors is likely not viable on university campuses with hundreds of students per course. As such, although there are other high schools such as Sanborn High School that approach grading in a more qualitative way, it remains to be seen whether such grading methods can be scalable. Until then, more generalized forms of grading like the letter grading system are unlikely to be entirely replaced. However, many educators already try to create an environment that limits the role that grades play in motivating students. One could argue that a combination of these two systems would likely be the most realistic, and effective way to provide a more standardized evaluation of students, while promoting learning.

Marathon swimmer says he quit Lake Michigan swim after going in wrong direction with dead GPS

  • Copy Link copied

A man attempting an epic 80-mile (128 kilometer) swim across Lake Michigan said he gave up on the third day after losing two batteries for a critical GPS device and ending up badly off course.

Jim Dreyer, 60, was pulled from the water last Thursday after 60 miles (96 kilometers). He said he had been swimming from Michigan to Wisconsin for hours without a GPS, relying only on a wrist compass and his reading of the sky and waves.

A support boat pulled up and informed him that he had been swimming north all day — “the wrong direction,” said Dreyer, who had left Grand Haven on Tuesday.

“What a blow!” he said in a report that he posted online. “I should have been in the home stretch, well into Wisconsin waters with about 23 miles (37 kilometers) to go. Instead, I had 47 miles (75 kilometers) to go, and the weather window would soon close.”

Dreyer said his “brain was mush” and he was having hallucinations about a steel wall — “stuck my hand right through it” — and cargo ships. He figured he would need a few more days to reach Milwaukee, but there was a forecast of 9-foot (2.7-meter) waves.

“We all knew that success was now a long shot and the need for rescue was likely if I continued,” Dreyer said.

Image

Dreyer, whose nickname is The Shark, crossed Lake Michigan in 1998, starting in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, and finishing in Ludington, Michigan. But three attempts to do it again since last summer have been unsuccessful.

Dreyer was towing an inflatable boat with nutrition and supplies last week. On the second day, he paused to get fresh AA batteries to keep a GPS device working. But during the process, he said he somehow lost the bag in the lake.

He had only a compass and nature around him to help him try to keep moving west.

“It was an accident, but it was my fault,” Dreyer said of the batteries. “This is a tough pill to swallow.”

The department of internal medicine wishes to promote grant submissions and will provide special assistance for internal medicine faculty.  This program will include a mixture of class work, tutorials, and personal assistance with the hope that the participant could submit a grant and then submit a revision if the first submission is not funded.  There will be writing accountability milestones throughout the course to encourage progress and growth. The course is designed for in-person attendance.  

To be eligible to participate, you must be MD/DO/PhD faculty in internal medicine, have a sincere interest in obtaining NIH grant funding, and be ready to write during the course. This would typically include someone with some history of research in the past or with a novel idea that would be suitable for an investigator-initiated grant.

Candidates for the course must have adequate protected time to pursue a grant, actively participate in the course, and devote time to writing, meeting their mentors, and performing other grant-related activities.  Participants will be selected based on eligibility, readiness to write (as evidenced by abstract or specific aims submitted during registration), and on a first-come, first-served basis.

Registration will close Aug. 30, 2024, and participants will be notified of acceptance into the program by Sept. 6, 2024.

Paris 2024: Sifan Hassan wins women's marathon to complete one of the greatest Olympic performances ever

PARIS — In the span of less than a week, Sifan Hassan pulled off one of the most remarkable trebles in Olympic history.

The superhuman Dutch distance runner became the first woman to medal in the 5,000 meters, the 10,000 and the marathon at the same Olympics.

The leading group in the women’s marathon had dwindled to two on Sunday morning when Hassan unleashed her signature devastating finishing kick. Shaking off an elbow from Tigst Assefa as the Ethiopian tried to block her move, Hassan overtook Assefa with about 250 meters to go and then outsprinted her to the finish line to win gold in an Olympic record 2:22:55.

WHAT A FINISH! 😱 Sifan Hassan sets an OLYMPIC RECORD in the women's marathon to win gold and her third medal of the #ParisOlympics ! pic.twitter.com/qMQHsdntPH — NBC Olympics & Paralympics (@NBCOlympics) August 11, 2024

Once victory was hers, Hassan said she felt dizzy and had to lie down.

As she lay flat on her back, she said she thought to herself, “I’m Olympic champion. How is this possible?”

Hassan’s dramatic victory will be remembered as one of the all-time great distance-running feats because of what came before it. She had already run 50 laps on Stade de France’s purple track this week en route to taking bronze in Monday night’s women’s 5,000 and Friday night’s women’s 10,000.

When speaking to reporters earlier this week, the Ethiopian-born Hassan admitted that she was “really freaking scared of the marathon.” She had achieved the near impossible before, medaling in Tokyo in the 1,500, 5,000 and 10,000. But the specter of running 26.2 miles against women who were fresh left even Hassan intimidated.

Those feelings kept creeping into Hassan’s head even as she ran along a course that headed out of central Paris on a loop to Versailles, mimicking key moments from the French Revolution.

“When I started this morning, every single moment I was regretting that I ran the 5,000 and 10,000,” she said. “From the beginning to the end, I felt so hard every step. I was like, what have I done? What is wrong with me?”

And yet by the end, there was Hassan sprinting away from Assefa for a remarkable gold, one that she considers a cut above her previous Olympic victories in Tokyo.

“I challenged myself and I’m so freaking grateful,” she said.
