Student Assignment Guidelines
Please note that all parts of the question will be marked. Questions focus on the
concepts developed in Units 1 to 4 of the course materials.
The questions are broad, but your answer should nevertheless be focused on the
questions. The assignment answer should be written in an academic and logical
manner demonstrating your reasoning ability and knowledge, not a journalistic style.
For example, you must justify any conclusion you reach on the basis of existing
theoretical and/or empirical evidence from the course notes, textbook and other
course readings, or any other source you choose to use, as long as you provide a
correct citation (see below). It would be helpful if you start by writing accurate and
relevant answers to the questions asked, before possibly expanding into any more
comprehensive approaches to the answers, in order to meet the word limit. Use of
relevant diagrams, equations, and examples to illustrate your understanding of the
question set where appropriate would be helpful to provide justification for the
answers.
Throughout your explanation you should try to demonstrate a clear understanding of
theoretical reasoning and critical discussion of the subjects providing pertinent use
of models and examples, where appropriate, reference to empirical results. Relevant
explanation and critical assessment in the answer are expected. Explicit evidence of
reading the articles in the Course Reader is also required.
