Your first individual assignment comprises writing a properly structured academic essay with all quotations and references properly cited in the text and referenced in the bibliography. The essay will need to be about 1200-1600 words as anything less will not contain sufficient information, discussion, analysis, depth and synthetic thinking to warrant a good grade.
The essay is to be submitted against the following: (remember to enrol in the class early so that submission can be made in good time – late submissions will not be accepted for any reason whatsoever and will be given 0% as a grade and I will ONLY assess and grade submissions in TurnItIn.)
