Ranging from more traditional assessments such as academic posters and presentations (which have themselves become more visual as improved technologies facilitate this development) to newer communication methods such as blogs, infographics, videos and podcasts, this book equips students with the knowledge and the skills to produce assignments with confidence. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first part of the book outlines the core principles of effective academic communication which lie at the heart of all types of assessment. Part B shows students how to nail the assignment brief, by thinking about the needs of the audience, and getting key design principles right. It includes guidance on how to work effectively in groups and how to engage with AI ethically. Part C consists of short, accessible chapters which give targeted guidance on each form of assignment. Whether it's a video, a visual essay, a report (or anything else) this book helps students to understand what's expected – and shows them how to deliver brilliant assignments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLee Fallin \u003c\/b\u003eis a Lecturer in Education Studies and Director of MA Education Programmes at the University of Hull, UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJacqui Bartram\u003c\/b\u003e is a Library and Academic Skills Specialist at the University of Hull, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 January 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350529755\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e192\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944598962316,"sku":"9781350529755","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_1777adaa-8d84-4947-91dc-a7f182447014.jpg?v=1786035741","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781350529755","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
