Figure 4:Similarities between Coursework and dissertations However,
coursework and dissertations, both are difference but, in some case,
they have some common elements. Both of them are used in the
academic field for the completion of degree. Dissertation are done under
the supervision of lecturer or professors and frequent review from
teacher can be taken if students want which also needed for coursework
if professor wants. Coursework and dissertation play vital role for the
marking and assessment of student for their modules and degree. Both
of the them are used to find the capabilities of student and the work
they have done based on their works. Grading or marks will be given
according to task done in coursework and dissertations. Benefits of
Coursework and dissertations: Coursework helps students to understand
their work and show their capabilities and what they learn from specific
module. According to “QCA Survey” reports out of 700 teachers 29 %
percent teachers thinks Coursework can give student more experience
and helps them to gain skills in particular subject and areas while 25 %
think that it make student to learn dept in one particular subject and 23
% percent teacher belief that it is easy to assessed student and is less
stressful that 100 % marks exam at final of the year. From the Research
Study Conducted for the “Qualification and Curriculum Authority” from
more than 700 subject head about the benefits of coursework on
student. [Sources: QCA Survey] Figure 5:QCA Survey done from over
700 subject heads [sources: QCA] Coursework helps students to gain
experience and help them to builds the skills in the specific subject. It
also encourages independent learning. It will help students to work at
their own paces as well motivating students. One of the mains benefits
is that it will help students to learn the curriculum step by step over the
years. Research and investigation skills will be developed and might be
main asset for students. It also allows student to select the area of their
own interest. It will provide less stress than having 100 % of the marks
assessed by an exam at the end of the academic year. It also gives an
opportunity for students to earn a higher grade. It also removes the
burden or relieve of exam pressure. It supports the pupils who have
lower ability. It also allows for redraft [Sources: QCA]. Figure 6:Benefits

context of student chosen research project [Sources:
educationandtrainingissues]. So, student will need to collect, read and
analyze the facts and information for supporting their research project.

analysis, swot analysis, time managements, and possibly, skills to


communicate managers or customers in a real skills business world
which student may develop through field worlds interviews, data
collections and etc.[sources: Manchester Business School]. Student will
obtain the good knowledge is the specialized areas. It will be
demonstrated student to show and develop the skills, abilities through
clear and well-arguments, well focused literature review, rigorous
methods, in- dept analysis etc [sources: Manchester Business School].
Dissertation writing will help students to get better grades in academic
writing [sources: allasignmenthelp ]. Differences between Coursework
and dissertations: Figure 7: Differences 3 In most of the university,
colleges and institutions student have choices to complete the study
either from coursework or dissertations and thesis [Sources: arcadia-
consultants.net]. However, coursework and dissertation are used for
measuring and completion of academic progress of student of certain
level and degree, but there is distinctive difference on both. Coursework
is a short written or practical fixed task assigned by teacher or professor
with guidelines and limitations while dissertation is a long piece of work
that student have chosen by themselves as per their interest with no
restriction on it until it breaks ethic to certain society, law, areas or etc.
However, professor might give basic format for dissertations.
Coursework is given with certain limitation, format and guidelines or
even titles or questions but dissertation has no limitation like
coursework. Coursework answers is around the certain areas or even
exact to the teacher expected whereas dissertation does not have exact
findings or answers as dissertations is more unique and creative as
compared to coursework. Coursework given by teacher will be given by
relating specific module like Android, Api and etc. (Sources: softwarica
college) as can be seen in sample in below while dissertation depend
upon student will or interest. Coursework does not require dept
research and study due to its fixed requirement and format while
dissertation needed a lot of time. Student need to study books, article
and document related to chosen topic of dissertations [sources:
allasignment help]. Coursework boost the skills relating to specific area
or module and acts as help for dissertation in main project while
dissertations may be done with the skills got from coursework Planning
and process while writing a coursework and dissertations: Doing a
coursework is a bit challenging task. Basically, there are specific steps
that needed to followed while doing coursework effectively and
efficiently. Coursework topic or questions initializing and then Discussing
the topic or questions with professor if required and later student Make
a plan for the coursework. After that student will Select the research

and guidelines given by the teachers or professors. survey, collecting
data, pilot studies, dealing with the problems with solution, preparing a
final report. [Sources: www2.le.ac.uk] Figure 8:Coursework process

to topic and collects facts, information’s etc. The basic step and process
that needed to be follows are: Choosing an topic and preparing and
proper proposal and getting its approval, After that preparing an
research questions, creating an research plan, procrastinations, realistic

studies, dealing with the problems with solution, preparing an final


report.[Sources: myassignmentwriting] Figure 9:Dissertation process
Challenges and problems student faces while doing dissertations and
coursework: Figure 10: Challenges while doing dissertations It’s not that
while doing coursework and dissertation student does not face any
challenges or problems, they have. Dissertation is a new challenge for
student as they have never done this type of work before in the case of
undergraduate. Getting access to data is another big challenge. As the
dissertation will have fixed date of submission, so time pressure is also
one of the main challenges. As, student choose their desired
dissertations topic so learning the new skills and technique is also
challenges. There might be need a money for buying some items like:
license for software, api’s and others, so financial status is also one of
the challenges [Sources: dissertation.laerd.com]. Choosing titles, and
format and documentations is also one of the challenges. [Sources:
urbangeekz]. Producing an appropriate quality of writing within the
literature review is also challenges [sources: dissertation. laerd]. In
order to overcome challenges proper process should be followed and
task should be done according to it. Figure 11:Challges while doing
coursework In other hand, doing course is also a complicated task.
Many challenges that student faces while doing dissertation, same
challenges arises while doing Coursework. Time management issues,
lack of information’s, lack of supports, external issues & etc. are main
challenges [Sources: Wizessay.com ]. Student needed to follow the
guidelines, restriction, format and others criteria as prescribed, to do
coursework around it is main challenge that student face as marking
and grading is done according to it. Conclusion: However, Coursework
and dissertation has its own distinctive benefit and drawbacks but it
plays important role in academic field for the assessment of students.
Coursework is designed for measuring the skills related to specific
module or areas while dissertation will be based on research what
student are interest. Student need to do coursework according to
specific format and criteria, in other hand there is no specific format for
dissertations. Student need to invest time in research, data collection
and finding information relevant to topic along with certain planning
while doing coursework there is no need for that as it has predefined
questions, title or task. Student might face many challenges but they
need to tackle while doing by following the mentioned process both
which will develop the skills, analyzing and creativity of students.
