9 Tips to Write an Exceptional Microeconomics Homework

When starting your course, writing exceptional microeconomics homework that will earn you an excellent grade can be difficult. However, academic writing is a skill you can learn over time. Since writing will be a mandatory requirement for your course, the more high-quality it is, the better your grades will be. The critical thing to understand is the instructions given and the types of questions your homework entails. Once you have this down, writing will be an easy task.
Below are some tips that, when followed, will help you write exceptional microeconomics homework to earn you high grades in your course:

1. Read the homework instructions carefully and understand them.

The best thing you can do when writing your microeconomics homework is to read and understand the given instructions. The instructions will tell you what tone to use for your homework, the type of work you should submit, i.e., if it is a report or an essay, and the word count required. You can get questions in microeconomics asking for an essay, e.g., a topic like how the current rise in oil prices affects the supply of certain goods and services. The instructions will inform the tone of your essay and the sections and headings to include.
You can get a report assignment on, say, perfect competition. The instructions will inform how many words you can include in your report and any graphs and diagrams needed for further illustration. Read the instructions carefully and determine what research is needed for your report and the format you will use when including citations in your report. Remember that if your homework does not follow the instructions, it may lead to you getting a zero or even failing the unit.
Lastly, if there are no instructions attached to your homework, use the given questions to determine what the homework requires of you. For example, you may get questions that only require you to define terms, say, define what price elasticity of demand is. The marks tied to this question will determine how much time and research will go into the homework. Once you've understood the instructions, or in some cases, the questions asked, you can plan your time well. This will help you write exceptional microeconomics homework.

2. Make a plan before you begin your homework.

Planning before you begin your homework is one of the best ways to ensure that you write your economics homework exceptionally. After you have read and understood the instructions or questions, planning will come in. There are three aspects to planning; planning for your time, for research, and for writing. Planning for your time will involve estimating how long it will take you to research, write, proofread, and submit the assignment. This is important to ensure that you do not rush. Remember, rushing leads to shoddy work, which may cause you to get a poor grade on your homework.
Planning for your research will involve determining what you need to sufficiently answer the homework questions. The type of homework you are handling will highly influence this. For example, MCQ and short-form questions can be sufficiently answered using lecture notes, while reports and essays may require you to use textbooks, web publications, and other materials to complete them. For instance, a report on how demand for different products has changed with the pandemic would require more profound research compared to definition questions. Planning your research ensures that no time is wasted when you start researching and writing.
Planning for your writing is essential, especially for complex topics that require a high word count. You may get assignments requiring you to type your answers, which can typically take less time than those requiring you to handwrite your answers. Having a plan will ensure that you have enough time to create a draft, make final edits and proofread your work. Determine how long it will take to write, proofread and reference your work, and devise a detailed plan to execute this.

3. Prepare a proper structure and layout for your microeconomics homework

Once you have a plan of attack, it's time to create a proper structure for your homework. A structure or a layout is essential as it will help you once you begin writing. What will the structure entail? Let's take the example of an essay on how a consumer's income affects the demand for a particular product. Your structure will include the different points you will be discussing within your essay. This should be the basic skeleton you will use when writing your final draft.
Ensure that the structure has headings and subheadings, which you will fill out throughout your writing. Subheadings will help you focus both your research and your writing in a way that explains all the points in your homework sufficiently. It also ensures that no essential points are left behind or are explained rashly. A structure will ensure that you discuss every point in your homework sufficiently. Even for short-form questions, a structure will allow you to plan how you will answer the questions.
Logically organizing the headings to be discussed will ensure that at the very end, your homework makes sense. It’s important that the final draft o your work is not all over the place, rather, it should be well organized and the ideas should have a follow to them. This begins with preparing a good layout. The layout also ensures that there is no repetition of points and that everything discussed relates to the topic at hand. It ensures that what you write is understandable and that all your points will be sufficiently argued. This goes a long way to ensuring you’re your homework is excellent and can earn you excellent grades.

4. Do your proper and deep research on your homework questions

To ensure that your microeconomics homework is excellent, you must do proper research. It is not enough to simply google; copy and then paste the results you find. Proper homework will involve sifting through your notes, textbooks, and web pages to find credible and verifiable information that will make up your final work. Especially for report-type homework and projects, you must ensure that the information you give is carefully filtered and obtained from reliable sources. The research is a bit lenient for essays where you have to present your arguments and opinions in some cases, but you will still have to use credible information to support your final argument.
When unsure where to begin, you could check the reference list of a good source that you already have on the topic to see what books/articles the author relied on. Pick the best source and sift through the information to find what best suits the topic. Keep the reference details with each note you make from a source to know where all the information comes from. This is important so that it is easier to gather your references once you begin writing them. It will also ensure that you do not commit plagiarism since you will be aware of the ideas that are yours and those that are paraphrased or that you should quote.

5. Be sure to include an excellent introduction to the homework question asked

This especially applies to microeconomics essays and reports which are very common at the college and university levels. You should always start with an impressive introduction to the topic you will tackle in your homework. Do not jam-pack your introduction with too much information. Simple is always best. Your introduction should let the instructor know what to expect in the rest of your homework. An example of an essay introduction can be " The objective of this essay is to explain how changes in government policies affect the supply of oil." A powerful introduction will encourage the reader to read on. However, this should not take up more than 10% of your homework.
Depending on your writing style, you can either begin by writing your introduction or write it once the body of your homework is completed. If you are unfamiliar with the topic you are handling, you are advised to work on your introduction at the very end. This ensures that you understand the topic throughout researching and writing and can structure the introduction to be catchy. It is also possible that your view or argument can change when writing the body of your homework. However, as long as the introduction is catchy and impressive, there is no wrong or right way of doing it.

6. Always ensure that the body of your homework is properly structured

Once you have the general structure, research to be used, and a plan of action, you can begin writing. It is always advised that you have headings and sub-headings within your work since this simplifies the topic and allows you to explain your ideas less technically. Remember, the goal of your homework is not to show the instructor how well you can memorize concepts in microeconomics. It is to show how well you can apply the knowledge learned in class to the topic of your homework. As such, you want to have one idea per sub-heading and explain it sufficiently without leaving any critical factors out.
For example, let's take a homework topic like factors that affect production. If you decide to discuss, say, four factors i.e., land, capital, entrepreneurship, and labor, these can act as your headings. Then under each of the headings, you can 2 or 3 subheadings to further explain your point. This will enrich your essay or report and help you reach the assigned word count for that specific homework. It will also ensure that your argument is well presented and explained, contributing to exceptional homework.
You can incorporate other authors' works into your final draft as long it is all well credited. Plagiarism is highly frowned upon and an offense that can see you get a zero, or a low grade, and in extreme cases, it can have you suspended. It is, therefore, essential to be very careful when using other works in your essay. Paraphrase where possible, and do not present work as yours where it is not. Especially in reports, use footnotes and in-text citations where you have directly quoted work from another author.

7. Use the right academic writing style for your microeconomics homework.

You will find that writing academic reports and essays varies from day-to-day writing. The principles involved in the language, tone of voice, and formality are different. When writing academically, you should not use slang and conversational phrases. To avoid this, you can look at the different research papers on the web or in books to see how the authors convey their ideas and language. You should also avoid using short forms such as "don't" or "can't" and instead use the full versions, i.e., "do not" and "cannot."
Academic writing should not be personal. Whether you are writing an essay, a report, or a research paper, you should convey your ideas formally and avoid using personal reflections. As a general rule, avoid the use of "I," "we," and "you" unless the instructions expressly state that you should. For example, most essays will ask you to present a personal opinion on a topic; in that case, you can use the first person. However, most of what is considered academic writing does not allow this.
Your writing does not have to be over-complicated to be considered academic writing. Instead, use short, concise, and direct sentences to explain your points. Avoid redundant words and unnecessarily long words, and focus on simply conveying your ideas. This does not mean that you can dilute the meaning of essential phrases in microeconomics. Retain the meaning but present it concisely. It's also important to avoid constant repetition. You can reiterate your points but do not overly repeat and over-explain points you already pointed out earlier in your work. A structure is essential, as it helps you avoid this.

8. Conclusions and references are essential and should always be included in the homework.

Another tip for writing an exception homework is always to include a conclusion and references in your work. Have a conclusion summarizing all the main ideas and arguments discussed in your final draft. The conclusion should restate the original question asked in your topic and reiterate information discussed that either supports or argues the question.
 It should not be an introduction of new ideas that you did not discuss in the body of your work. For example, suppose you had a topic on determinants of supply, and your essay discussed only the product price and production cost. In that case, you cannot mention technology as a factor in the conclusion. Your conclusion should only take up about 10% of your homework. Always ensure that the body is packed with enough that you do not have to use the conclusion to further explains your points.
An exceptional homework always includes references for the works used. Your reports and research papers will not carry original ideas. As such, you should always include a page at the end of your document with references to the research sources used. Depending on the citation style, ensure that it is consistent from start to finish. You cannot have some references in APA style and some in MLA style. You should never pass off another author's work as your own. Learn how to include in-text citations to better present your work. Always ensure that this follows the instructions given carefully.

9. Always proofread your homework

Once you have everything written, it's important to always proofread your homework. Make sure you complete your homework with some time to spare so that you can go through your answers and identify any mistakes made. The best way to do this is to read it out loud. This ensures that you identify any spelling mistakes and sentences that are unclear. It also allows you to identify sections of your homework that have no flow and ideas that appear incomplete. Reading out loud will also help you check for repeated phrases and sentences, which you can edit.
For reports and essays that are too long, you can use software to read the essay out to you to identify your mistakes better. Take time to check for grammar and spelling mistakes and paragraphs and sentences that are too wordy. Proofreading also allows you to identify gaps in your homework, which you can fill before you hand over your work. It also allows you to check whether your completed draft answers the questions or if the information presented is irrelevant. Otherwise, you risk submitting answers that make no sense.
Another thing to look for is the tenses used in your homework. Ensure that they are consistent from start to finish. You cannot have some sections of your homework with present tense and others with future tense. This will mean that some sections will not make sense, and your homework will have a disconnect in ideas. Lastly, check your instructions to ensure that the presentation and arrangement are as asked. Some instructions will give the font type, size, and spacing needed for paragraphs and sentences. Make sure that your work.
