Assignment types

Understanding the types of assignments you may be expected to submit

At university, you will be asked by your lecturers to complete assignments that demonstrate you have learned the material in your units. A wide range of different assignment types are now used at university, and some might be quite different to those you completed in your previous studies. 

In this section, you can learn about some of the more common types of assignment you may do at CDU. Each material includes: 

  • a task to help you understand what you need to learn 

  • an introduction to the assignment for students who just need a quick review 

  • details about organisation and language for students who need more information 

  • useful tips and strategies to help you improve your drafts.
