In your essay, you can refer to the sources provided
by your tutor, but you MUST also refer
to at least 5 other sources which you have found. You must ensure that the sources you use
are academic and reliable, in particular ensure that Internet sources are
accessed via a reputable academic database or an academic journal.

What you will
be assessed on:

1.
Establishing a clear purpose or thesis statement of your essay

2.
Developing a critical line of argument, expanding and supporting the arguments
with subsidiary points, reasons and relevant examples

3.
Identifying, evaluating and refuting counter arguments, opinions or solutions

4.
Writing in an evaluative/interpretative rather than descriptive manner

5.
The extent and depth of your research of independently found sources

6.
Incorporating others’ work effectively
by quoting, summarizing and
paraphrasing viewpoints, using in-text
citations accurately

7.
Compiling a complete, accurate, consistently referenced bibliography
(standard Harvard system) at the end of the essay.

8.
The clarity of expression used in your
writing, especially register and style.
