Originality is needed to achieve top marks in assignments, but what does it even mean?
Simply put, it opens doors: to making a difference; to excellent marks, to success. You’ll often find marking criteria stating you need to make an ‘original contribution’, ‘show originality’, or ‘evidence of originality’, yet it is not taught or even explained. This book addresses this, providing you with the techniques and methods you need to transform your work and achieve better grades. It will even give you the upper hand in the age of AI.
Key features include:
· Diverse examples of originality in writing
· ’Try this’ exercises, allowing you to develop your skills
· Different ways of being original, such as taking photos and drawing maps
· Originality in different forms of assignments, such as presentations and exams
With the guidance in this book, anyone can be original.
