Students are to choose one of the essay questions listed below and write a research essay in response to that question. The purpose of the essay is to develop your capabilities in reading, interpretation and critical analysis. It will allow you to gain a developed understanding of one area of the course and will test your ability to construct a clear and coherent argument in response to the essay question. Detailed information about essay writing and criteria against which essays will be assessed will be provided in the Town Hall meeting in week 5 and on the LMS site.
Essays should be properly referenced and include a bibliography.
