What is project?

Its origin and specific uses

This PowerPoint presentation has

been prepared to cover two main

topics which are related to a student’s

life moreover with professional life.

In this we have tried to explain the

importance of assignments and the

projects.

Mainly what ,how,purpose,steps

involved etc are being explained .

Most assignments, essays and reports

ask you to look at the topic from all

sides. You will often look at the

reasons for and against an issue. You

will compare and contrast different

points of view. You will discuss the

advantages and disadvantages of a

proposal, etc.

For most assignments, you should

expect to spend several weeks

brainstorming and planning, drafting,

writing, and revising your assignment.

Assignment writing has several steps.

These steps are:

Getting started

Topic Analysis

Data and Primary Materials

Read the Literature

Plan your essay /assignment :

Structure and Logical Arguments

Pre reading and consultation with

lecturer.

and the assessment task’s instructions

and marking criteria.

Discuss the topic ,possible approach

and preferred writing style with your

lecturer.

Brainstorm your topic to think of all

aspects that could be covered .

Read some general material to get an

idea of the topic and the issues .

Identify words that need definitions

and concepts that need discussing.

Identify major issues and

controversies.

Consider why you may be writing on

the issue or why it is important.

material ,and relevant journal and

texts

You may like to create tables

summarizing information from the

literature or to use actual tables from

After looking at your primary material

example data ,historical or

contemporary text etc identify your

tentative position .

State your opinion for the topic .

Read widely,particulary from peer

reviewed journal articles & reputable

texts.

Be careful of copying .if you take

notes from the written of others, it

may be best to write type out the

passages in full and with quotation

marks.

When reading the literature ,evaluate

the material and make notes of your

own thoughts and views .

Generate your on ideas while reading

the passage and try to make questions

Try to think of a possible structure

for your assignment it can be in the

from of dot points, flow diagrams,

concept maps etc .

From your thesis, argument or view

,list the main issues and reason for

your position.

Under each main issue list:

Your supporting evidence.

Contrary opinion and evidence that

you will need to address.

Try not to panic, simply make a start.

Incorporate ideas from your

information searched. Remember to

avoid copying.

Check the structure-is there a clear

beginnig,body and conclusion.

some one, who can provide feedback..

Go through your course notes and

text to identify relevant information.

Access relevant texts from the

library.

Use the internet for further research

– be careful some websites represent

organization or individuals who may

not be objective in their views.

Whether it is full essay or a series of

short questions ,structure is important.

Prepare a plan for each assignment.

Use headings and sub-heading to

guide you through the completion of

the assignment.

For each section:

introduce the topic clearly.

Develop your ideas/arguments with

reference to your sources.

Provide clear conclusions on the topic.

Always check that you have met the

assessment criteria and have answered

the brief.

Use a time table to record all your

commitments on a weekly basis.

Be realistic- when do you work best and

how long can you concentrate for?

Plan short periods of work- an hour’s

work may be far more productive that

spending a whole day procrastinating.

The assessment criteria and the

assignment brief will most probably

require that you demonstrate analysis

of the topic.

You should not only describe the key

issues instead answer the following

questions:

How does it work?

Why this idea?

What if their wad an alternative?

How significant is this?

What was the implication of this?

Check that your ideas are expressed

clearly.

Use more formal but not complicated

language.

Organize your writing into clear

paragraphs.

Good presentation shows you care

about work.

Clear presentations is necessary to

guide the reader.

Follow any specific guidelines if given.

Arial font size 12 is usually

recommended for the main text.

Be consistent in the use and formatting

of headings.

Ensure tables /graphs are labeled and

clearly presented

A project in business and science is

typically defined as a collaborative

enterprise, frequently involving

research or design, that is carefully

planned to achieve a particular aim.

Projects can be further defined as

temporary rather than permanent social

systems that are constituted by teams

within or across organizations to

accomplish particular tasks under time

constraints.

The word project comes from the Latin

word projectum, "before an action"

which in turn comes from pro-, which

denotes precedence, something that

comes before something else in time

and "to do".

The word "project" thus actually

originally meant "before an action".

1. School and university

At school, educational institutes

projects are required. It requires

students to undertake their own fact-

finding and analysis.

2. Engineering project

Engineering projects are, in many

countries, specifically defined by

legislation, which requires that such

projects should be carried out by

registered engineers and/or registered

engineering companies.

3. Project management

In project management a project

consists of a temporary endeavor

undertaken to create a unique product,

service or result.

Through this PPT we have tried to explain two topics such as assignment writing and reporting projects.

We tried to cover all the aspects of both the topics to make them more clear .
