Extra guidance 

• Your formulated argument to answer the question will be built from evidence in the field. However, the subject content provides theories, terms, concepts and facts that will assist in identifying search terms and selecting evidence.
• You may use references provided in the subject, but we want to see your ability to find, appraise and summarise evidence you have sourced yourself. For this, a minimum of 5 peer-reviewed sources are required. There is no maximum number of sources recommended. Evidence should be cited whenever it is the basis of the information and argument. In addition to quantity of sources, we will be evaluating the quality and relevance of the sources and how they are integrated in your work.
• As this is a short essay, we recommend providing brief introduction and conclusion paragraphs.
• Breadth and depth is very dependent on your ability to a) address multiple aspects of the argument b) write concisely in a way that maximises information in sentences. Use support resources to improve your concise writing style.
• Stay focused on the assessment task that is to answer the essay question. There is no one right way to answer this essay question and many different approaches are acceptable.
• Quotations are not required. Only use quotations for a small number of words that cannot be paraphrased and are considered essential to the message.
• Ensure that you have created a list of references and not a bibliography. Only material that is cited in your assignment should appear in the list of references.
