Your work must be based on reliable research and have a minimum of 20 different sources within it. All information must be drawn from research including the core and recommended texts. Please ensure you use both direct and indirect citations. You must use the CCCU recommended Harvard Referencing Guide that is provided in Moodle. You MUST include all the references mentioned in the compulsory reading list. However, you will not be penalised if you use additional resources on top of the 10 compulsory reading list below.
You must demonstrate good academic practice in your written work, avoid plagiarism and incorrect use of AI.
The task requirement is an essay not a report or reflective journal. You must therefore ensure that your structure, outline, content, style, and presentation accord with academic writing conventions for an essay.
Headers, pictures, and graphs, bold or italics fonts should NOT be used in the body of the text on academic essays. Should you believe informative diagrams and graphs be useful, please attach them on the appendix.
Ensure appropriate formatting. For example, you should use 12-point font size, 1.5 line spacing and distribute your text evenly between margins.
You must use the correct Canterbury Harvard Referencing conventions for your in-text citations and reference list. Please refer to the Canterbury Harvard Referencing Guide.
Make sure you proofread and edit your work prior to final submission to avoid grammar, spelling, punctuations, and in-text citation mistakes as well as to ensure that you have covered everything.
Do not use Wikipedia, unverifiable blogs, or any software to generate answers.
Marking criteria are available on page 6 and separately on the Moodle.
