You must write a 2000-word
\nessay based on one of the questions below. It must meet the following
\nrequirements:<\/span><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7       
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>It should fall within
\n10% of the target length (excluding bibliography), i.e., the text of the essay
\nshould be between 1800 and 2200 words in length;<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7       
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>It should be written as
\none continuous piece (no subheadings);<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7       
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>You must research your
\nessay using academic sources (books and articles) and at least three quarters
\nof the sources on your bibliography should come from the Reading List for this
\nmodule;<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7       
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>You must develop a
\ncritical distance between the sources you read and your essay. If you want to
\ninclude a short passage in your essay, then quote it properly. But otherwise,
\nyou must not follow the sentence or paragraph structure of a source text.
\nParaphrasing requires you to demonstrate your understanding through your own
\nwritten account. (Altering the words or order of clauses in a sentence and
\ninserting it in your essay is still plagiarism.);<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7       
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Your in-text citations
\nshould follow the Harvard style (surname year: page number) and must include
\nthe precise page numbers in the source text for the ideas, arguments or quoted
\npassages which you include in your essay (do not give the page range of a
\nchapter, but the exact page or pages on which the information appears). The
\nmarkers will check a certain proportion of your citations against the texts
\ncited, to ensure accuracy and academic integrity;<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7       
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Only cite the texts you
\nhave actually used. Do not insert references to texts which you have not read
\nand do not copy citations found in the sources you have read. If you wish to
\nquote a phrase by Jones which you find quoted in a book or article written by
\nSmith, your reference should take the following form: (Jones quoted in Smith
\n2022: 79);<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7       
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>At this level, you
\nshould consult at least 10 academic sources and there should be at least 15
\nin-text citations in your essay;<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

\u00b7       
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>While it is acceptable
\nto read Wikipedia entries, student essays on the e-IR website and to explore
\nthe use of AI tools like ChatCPT in thinking through how to structure your
\nessay, text from such websites must not be reproduced in your essay, no matter
\nwhat modifications you may make to that text. Your essay must be written in
\nyour own terms and any passages which you copy from academic sources should be
\nidentified as quotations through the use of \u2018inverted commas\u2019 and accurate
\ncitations to the sources (including page numbers).  <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n
