This word limit includes footnotes or endnotes (if any) but not the bibliography or list of references. That means, you need to provide an argument, your essay needs to be fully referenced and have a bibliography. The essay will be assessed for the coherence of its argument, originality and the quality of research on which it has been based.You should have at least 6 scholarly references, including primary sources where applicable, as well as show that you can utilise the theoretical literature and concepts provided by the course.Remember that not all material is of the same standard, particularly material gleaned via search engines such as Google. Non-scholarly sources found on the webpages are not to be used. Searches through the Library’s Journals and subject-based databases are more reliable and show off your scholarship. A key-word search in Multisearch can also turn up useful material. Material on the additional reading list in the course can be used.• Wikipedia is not considered a scholarly source, and you should not use its content as evidence or support for your argumentDon’t forget to find material for both sides of the controversy, if you find that sources present your selected topic as controversial (most of them are).Remember that your paper is not that of an advocate for or against or a theory but of an analytical and critical scholar. There is no place for propaganda, even if you hold very strong views. Note also that internet sources on the subject are mostly propaganda. You may be led astray if you only use these sources. Try to verify these sources/authors against scholarly material (academic journal articles and books).Some advice when writing:1. Be purposeful. Turn the instruction to compare and contrast into a question (not a title) to answer on your chosen topic. This will guide your research and your argument. Aim to find out something.2. Beware getting bogged down in description. No matter how well you write it, description is just description. Analyse what you find from your comparison and reflect on the implications3. Do demonstrate an awareness and knowledge of the theory and concepts covered by the course.4. Define and explain the concepts you use. It is not enough to just use the words as if everyone knows what they mean. Almost every concept in this course is contested.5. Don’t use quotations to make your argument for you. This just indicates that you haven’t really thought through how your reading relates to what you want to say.ReferencingThe Referencing System for this unit is Harvard and your essay will be assessed on how well you use it. No footnoting of references.
