For example: UNIT GROUP 2343 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTISTS UNIT GROUP 2414 SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS UNIT GROUP 2513 OCCUPATIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH UNIT GROUP 2633 TELECOMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING PROFESSIONALS 2 2) Writing Introductions A good introduction should: 1. Grab the attention of the reader; 2. Clearly state the question to be answered or topic to be discussed; 3. Tell the reader why this subject is important; 4. Outline what the assignment will cover and in what order; and, 5. Summarise the argument to be made. Example Pressure groups are sometimes portrayed as a dangerous and destabilising component of Australian politics. Such a view is often used as a basis for the curtailment of their democratic right to protest. This paper will analyse the purpose of pressure groups and the reasons why they form. The paper is divided into three main sections. Section one will explain the purpose of pressure groups. The second section will then consider why they form. Finally, the Wilderness Society (TWS) will be used as a case study to illustrate the general points made. It will be argued that far from being something to fear, pressure groups play a vital role in identifying urgent issues that the government needs to address. 3) Writing the Main Body of the Assignment Remember that the purpose of an assignment is to be read. It is an indication of your skills in research, analysis, communication, and creative thinking. The following points are suggestions that might help you through the assignment writing process. Dont just recount what others have said: Make sure that you understand the question or task; Define the key concepts and how they relate to each other; Construct an argument that answers the question using your research as evidence; Dont use too many quotations; and, Dont just link up quoted passages with a sentence or two. Language & layout: Check the meaning of words before using them; Divide the assignment into a logical sequence of sections and give each section a heading; Avoid over-using colons, dashes & semi-colons; Know the proper use of similar words (e.g. their, there and theyre); Each paragraph should cover one main point; Paragraphs should flow on from each other; and, Only include diagrams, tables or quotes if they are relevant. 4) Writing Conclusions A good conclusion should: 1. Draw together all the points raised; 2. Not introduce new arguments that haven't appeared in the paper; and, 3. Summarise the findings and restate the argument; and, 4. When read together with the introduction should provide a summary of the whole section 3 Example This paper has shown that the purpose of pressure groups is two-fold: first, to have their concerns or interests placed on the political agenda and, second, to elicit a supportive response from government. It has been demonstrated that pressure groups form when enough individuals become concerned about the apparent neglect of an issue or interest by government. TWS, for example, formed in response to the lack of adequate environmental protection in Tasmania. Such groups actually assist the operation of good government by putting urgent issues on the political agenda for action. 5) Referencing All sources of information, statistics and quotes should be properly referenced using the APA 7 system. Details of how to do this are available on-line at the Griffith University Library Referencing Guide. You must use the APA 7 in-text referencing system as outlined in this tool. An alphabetically organised list of all references used must be included at the back of the paper as per the examples in this tool. 6) Academic Integrity & Plagiarism Plagiarism is the use of other peoples words or ideas without proper academic referencing, quotation marks or indenting. It is a very serious breach of academic conventions and university regulations. Quotes that run over more than three lines should be indented and single spaced, shorter quotes should be enclosed by quotation marks. Consider the following quote from a book by Dean Jaensch: It has been noted that the number interest groups has tended to increase. This tendency to a proliferation of pressure groups is evident in any free society. One direct cause of this growth in the extent and intensity of activity by such groups is the fact that governments have slowly but steadily extended their involvement in, and regulation of the economy and society (Jaensch 1997, p. 343). If the passage is not indented, then it is plagiarism, even though the reference is given: It has been noted that the number interest groups has tended to increase. This tendency to a proliferation of pressure groups is evident in any free society. One direct cause of this growth in the extent and intensity of activity by such groups is the fact that governments have slowly but steadily extended their involvement in, and regulation of the economy and society (Jaensch 1997, p. 343). If you give a close paraphrasing it is also plagiarism (changes underlined): It has been noted that the number interest groups has tended to increase. This tendency of proliferation by pressure groups is evident in all free societies. A direct cause of this growth by such groups is the fact that governments have steadily extended their involvement in, and regulation of our economy and society (Jaensch 1997, p. 343). 4 If no citation is given, then it is plagiarism: It has been noted that the number interest groups has tended to increase. This tendency to a proliferation of pressure groups is evident in any free society. One direct cause of this growth in the extent and intensity of activity by such groups is the fact that governments have slowly but steadily extended their involvement in, and regulation of the economy and society. If paraphrased and no citation, then it is plagiarism: It has been noted that the number interest groups has tended to increase. This tendency of proliferation by pressure groups is evident in all free societies. A direct cause of this growth by such groups is the fact that governments have steadily extended their involvement in, and regulation of our economy and society. The rules also apply to shorter quotes of sentences, remember the example: Interest groups are an important part of Australian politics. An interest group is a formal or informal group of people with common interests, attitudes or aims for example, a commercial, church or rural interest (Jaensch 1997, p. 341). Omitting the quotation marks is plagiarism: Interest groups are an important part of Australian politics. An interest group is a formal or informal group of people with common interests, attitudes or aims for example, a commercial, church or rural interest (Jaensch 1997, p. 341). Omitting the citation is plagiarism: Interest groups are an important part of Australian politics. An interest group is a formal or informal group of people with common interests, attitudes or aims for example, a commercial, church or rural interest. The rules also apply to phrases, remember the example: Interest groups are an important part of Australian politics. One definition suggests that interest groups are a formal or informal group of people with common interests, attitudes or aims (Jaensch 1997, p. 341). Omitting the quotations is still plagiarism: Interest groups are an important part of Australian politics. One definition suggests that interest groups are a formal or informal group of people with common interests, attitudes or aims (Jaensch 1997, p. 341). Omitting the reference is plagiarism: Interest groups are an important part of Australian politics. One definition suggests that interest groups are a formal or informal group of people with common interests, attitudes or aims. Close paraphrasing, even with the citation is plagiarism: Interest groups are an important part of Australian politics. One definition suggests that interest groups are a more formal or less formal group of people with similar interests, attitudes or aims (Jaensch 1997, p. 341).
