Coursework Question Decoder

Most marks are lost before a word is written, because the question was misread. Paste your question below and see exactly what your marker is asking for — in plain British English.

Free, no account needed

Try your coursework question

Paste the question from your brief and see immediately what it is actually asking you to do — before you write a single word.

Paste your coursework question and get:

  • The command word explained
  • What your assessor expects
  • The key areas you need to address
  • Questions to guide your thinking
  • A suggested starting point

How to use your breakdown

  1. Start from the command word: it sets the depth of thinking your marker expects.
  2. Turn each “question you need to answer” into a paragraph plan in your own words.
  3. Collect the suggested evidence — module readings, data, policy and your own practice examples.
  4. Write in your own voice first; use OwnVoice to strengthen structure, criticality and referencing.
