If you're not sure which service page to open, start here. This page is just a practical avigation guide: we grouped common requests by the type of task, so you can find the closest match without guessing. If you're looking for something specific, pick the category that fits your assignment format (essay, coursework, lab report, long project, and so on).
Each link below goes to a dedicated page with details for that format. If you don't see an exact match, choose the closest category — most requirements can be adapted once we see your instructions.
If you're deciding between two categories, focus on the format your instructor expects. The same topic can be assigned as an essay, a report, or a project — and the structure changes a lot.
Not sure? Pick the closest match — the detailed instructions matter more than the label on the page.
This section covers classic academic papers written around a topic, theory, or argument. These tasks usually follow a familiar structure — introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion — but differ by subject requirements, formatting rules, and the depth of analysis expected.
Coursework is usually a series of smaller tasks throughout the term — problem sets, short written assignments, weekly submissions, or format-specific briefs. If your instructor gave detailed instructions (rubric, reading list, required structure), this category is the closest match.
Long academic projects usually extend beyond a single assignment. They involve planning, research, and multiple sections that need to work together logically. This category fits tasks where structure, methodology, and consistency across chapters are more important than speed.
The fastest way to avoid mismatches is to share the exact requirements. Even a short rubric can change the structure.
If something is unclear, it's better to clarify early than to “guess” the instructor's expectations.
These assignments are usually more technical and format-driven. Instead of free-form argumentation, they follow a clear structure — objectives, methodology, results, and discussion. Accuracy, clarity, and alignment with the required format matter more here than expressive writing.
Application-related documents are usually more personal and purpose-driven than standard academic papers. They focus on background, motivation, and goals rather than research or analysis. This category includes materials prepared for admissions, scholarships, and professional programs.
Speech-related assignments focus on clarity, structure, and audience understanding rather than formal academic analysis. These tasks are often prepared for presentations, public speaking classes, or specific events where the text is meant to be delivered aloud.
Some assignments don't fall neatly into essays or reports. This section covers less common formats and task-specific papers that still require clear structure and adherence to academic instructions.
