• Type your assignment in double or one-and-a-half line spacing.
  
  

  • Word-processing facilities are available at your institution.
  • Alternatively, invest in a personal computer. An investment of this kind will take hours off your work-time and a neatly typed, professional piece of work can improve your marks. You'll be expected to do so in your future job anyway, so you may as well get started!
    
    
• Use the spell check facility on the word processing software.
• Ensure that headings are the same style throughout the document.
