Please read the questions carefully before writing your responses. There is no 'model' or 'unique' answer to the discussion questions. The questions require brief, considered, responses. A premium will be placed on cogent, well-reasoned responses. Grades will be based on:
- Structure and coherence (i.e. the answer should flow as a narrative),
- Analytical strength (e.g. the extent to which you draw upon theoretical paradigms discussed in the course),
- Illustrations with examples,
- The synthesis of different viewpoints,
- Originality (including reasoning and structuring of your responses) and
- Professionalism (i.e. the extent to which you follow rules of writing papers, e.g. referencing, formatting, editing for grammatical and other errors).
For each answer you should cite at least four references. Marks will be deducted for those not following these rules and following the suggested word limit. Please make sure you cite every reference you use in your answer. The reference should be cited in the main body of the text as well as in the list of references at the end of the answer.
