There are two ways to evaluate your work in a course: assignments and exam(s). Usually, the percentage of grades given to assignments is smaller than that of exams, but there are many students who fell difficulty when writing reports. Most of your fellow student's opinions are "I tried my best to write it, but the score is stricter than my effort."
you might felt same way, But did you do your best? That is, did you write your assignment depending on your own thinking or on books and journals, not by relying on Internet searches? probably only a few students might answer 'Yes'. This is also the common opinion among professors ar SMU. What do your judges, your professors, think about your assignments? SMT asked their opinions in detail.

Sihan choi, Professor in the Department of Korean Language & Literature talked about his opinion. - Most students have two main problems their assignments. Firstly, there are so many students who plagiarize other people's opinions ( in the books or other people's opinions ( in the books or other publications) through Internet research, and they copy these without any footnotes or quotations. Although these actions are cleary plagiarism, they hand in their work as if it is their own creative thinking. Secondly, the writing in many reports is unsuitable and superficial. When I read students' assignments, I find that there are many 'non-sentences.' I think the reason why they do this is that they do not think about the subject of their assignment seriously

Im hye-gyoung, Professor in the Department of French Language & Literature also talked about her opinion.
Although it is a problem depending on the characterist of the individual course, maybe the common problem is plagiarism. In my lecture, Understanding of French Movies, I provided students with descriptions of French movies, and later I found common views among their own reviews. I think that they must know that the professors are veterans in their fields of study. Also students have to throw away the thought that 'Well, whatever t I hand in will be okay.' If students do not keep this problem in mind, they may experience more difficulties than any other students when they study abroad.

The professor indicated some of the standards for written assignments:

1. Do students understand the point of their subject?
Unexpectedly, there are many students who do not understand the point of relevance of their subject. Before you write your report, you should look for data on the subject in newspapers and books.

2. Do students refer to expert data when writing their papers?
If you maintain this standard, you could not depend on Internet Research, because a lot of information on Internet is not proven. When you write a report, you have to refer to expert data like books or other publications.

3. Does their writing contain a lot their own thinking about the subject?
It is difficult to improve your opinion about many topics. If you want to improve your thinking mechanism, I recommend that you read newspapers and books on a daily basis.

A report is an intensive short thesis about one among many fields of study. It is your self-portrait; also it is your philosophy of many current events. If you want to get a A+ for your written assignments, SMT recommends that you try to make it a verbalization of your own thoughts. That may be your own, sole, and proud essay.
