Description: The 4000 words essay should demonstrate that students have understood the issue they are addressing, made themselves familiar with the appropriate literature, and demonstrated the ability both to assess the arguments on all sides of the debate, and to formulate a rationale for their own position.
In marking students’ written work, tutors will consider:
• the quality of content: the breadth and depth of analysis, the quality of critical comment;
• the structure: logical development and coherence of the argument;
• the range of literature used in making the argument;
• the presentation and layout and the competence with which sources are referenced.
