Assignment Brief Analysis

MyAE reads your assignment brief and produces a plain-English breakdown: what the brief is asking for in one sentence, the learning outcomes it signals, the specific instructions ('critically evaluate', 'compare and contrast'…), and any implicit requirements around evidence, structure or referencing.

1. Extract the text of the brief from your upload.
2. Identify the task type (essay, report, reflective, case study…) and academic level.
3. Parse learning outcomes into a normalised list.
4. Pull direct instructional verbs and turn them into concrete writing implications.
5. Estimate an implicit rubric where one is not provided, based on the task type and level.

• The full text of the brief, including footnotes and appendix instructions.
• The task-type conventions (essay vs report vs reflective vs dissertation).
• The academic level implied by the brief's vocabulary.
• Any word-count, referencing style, or submission requirements stated in the brief.

• A one-sentence summary of what the brief is really asking for.
• A clean list of learning outcomes and key instructions.
• A coverage checklist you can tick as you draft.
• Notes on brief ambiguity — points to clarify with your tutor.

• Brief Analysis is only as complete as the brief you upload — if requirements live in an accompanying handbook, upload that too.
• MyAE flags ambiguity but cannot resolve it: some questions are for your tutor to answer.
• Implicit rubric estimation is a best-effort scaffold, not a replacement for your actual rubric.
