Can I use headings in an assessment?
Answer
Depending on the type of assessment task you are writing, headings may be permitted or even necessary. Generally, headings are used to structure longer pieces of work, for example in a thesis or a report.
Check with the formatting requirements and assessment task instructions for your subject to see if you can use headings. If you are still unsure, ask your tutor for clarification.
