A Small Writing Guide

The purpose of all exercises is the growth of the student and completing the study module's goals. Vocational competence can be demonstrated in many ways, written tasks being just one way. Instead of focusing on the writing task's required length, it's better to focus on the task's goals; how can you demonstrate your vocational skill within the assignment's requirements. Universities of Applied Sciences use a formula to determine the workload of study points, 1 ECTS is approximately 27 hours of work. The workload is also affected by the study module's contents, used study materials and language.

General guide for the length of written tasks

• the number of required pages always refer to the actual running text. A document also has a cover page, a reference list and possible attachments. 
• 3 to 4 pages equals 1 ECTS in all written study methods (refer to written assignment template). Note: always check assignment specific instructions from the study module's learning environment.
