The research essay is for 1500 words, excluding appendices and the bibliography. Reports are to demonstrate clear evidence of the author’s

ability to collect relevant and meaningful research that has been cited correctly and to mount a thoughtful, coherent argument based upon

Finished assignments must be well structured and demonstrate clear evidence that the student has conducted substantive research on the

topic and reflected thoughtfully upon the findings. Sources of ideas appearing in the text other than one’s own must be cited, and

deducted for poor spelling and unprofessional presentation. It is also important that your paper is properly referenced, using the Harvard

system. Failure to do so would mean that students would be penalised.
