Assessment task title: Revision of a Sample of Academic Writing Task
Due date: 30th January 2017
Details of task: Short revision of a student's previously written work in an academic subject at university
1. Students select a section from a written assignment from a previous unit’s assessment. Based on what has been taught in
ATS1340, students revise their assignment (eg: correcting grammatical errors, improving word choices, rewriting introductions
/conclusions/body paragraphs for example, revising the writing's academic style etc) For each revision, students briefly justify
/explain the reasons for the changes linked to the course’s material. A sample will be presented on Moodle to model the best
format for this task.
2. If a student has not previously attended university, a suitable text will be provided for revision.
3. It is expected that the 600 word count will be achieved through the revision/rewriting of a number of passages and the brief
commentary students provide alongside the changes. Obviously, the original text OR the references/citations for the text that is
being amended DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE TO THE WORD COUNT.
