Students are being tested on their capacity to think critically and integrate their learning gained in lectures and through their readings and experience. ‘Discuss’ means you need to think about and write about the different possibilities before you present a point of view. This is likely to need both description and interpretation. Ensure you have a clear structure with: • Introduction • Body • Conclusion Opinions must be supported by carefully selected and authoritative evidence. Students are expected to use at least 10 refereed academic journal articles in writing your essay. Please do not: • Use information without finding an authority (author) to support your statements. • Use authorities that have no academic credibility (e.g. Wikipedia, Mindtools and Businessballs). • Use your study guide and/or textbook (even with appropriate referencing) as the sole authority in your assignments. Referencing style: You need to use the SCU Harvard style. There are many varieties of the Harvard referencing system. We follow the standards described in the 'Style Manual for Authors, Editors and Printers' 6th edition, often referred to as the 'AGPS Manual'. It is also referred to as the 'Snooks manual'. You can access the Harvard SCU guide at http://libguides.scu.edu.au/harvard Only list sources actually cited (referenced) in your essay.
