Education gives us a cutting edge and helps us to clear ignorance and create awareness. Education has no bounds and one can learn from different spheres and environments. However, in current times formal education has become organized popular and in the form of academics , formal education has been able to educate students with the help of a structured curriculum.

Academic curriculum these days demand the students to render the proof of learning through different kinds of assignments. Let's take some examples of different kinds of assignments. There are various disciplines in academic studies which require a student to do a case study. The case studies are live examples of real time problems to which the students need to analyse and give their views , opinions and if required solutions. In management studies and assignments case studies are very common.

In social sciences and humanities essays are more common. The students are expected to learn in depth of the subjects and develop an acumen and reflect their insight. All these should be well researched and given due importance with reference to scholarly work which has been done earlier. While students are giving the reflection of their learning, it is very important on their part to avoid plagiarism. A student can get ideas from prior published work, but at the same time the student should give reference in an internationally accepted format.

Let's discuss about some of the internationally accepted format of referencing. A student should follow Harvard style of referencing , APA style referencing or Vancouver style referencing. These are the most commonly followed referencing. However there may be other specific forms of referencing which may be demanded by the course work and the students must fulfill it to get good ranking.


A student should prepare a framework before attempting to do the assignment. The student should take care of the requirements highlighted by the mentor and stick to them, so that it is easy to be evaluate and ensures better result.
