Marks will be allocated for the quality of writing and argument, for appropriate ‘in text’ citation and for end-noting of references. You must use a consistent and recognized style for both aspects of referencing, preferably, Vancouver. Please make sure you read through the academic skills lecture notes relevant to library searching and referencing and work through the Academic Integrity Module (AIM) before commencing. In addition, the on-line tutorials on information skills and referencing available on the library website are very helpful. Please ensure that you are familiar with the policy on Academic Integrity. Do not copy and paste text from your sources. No specific minimum length has been set as there is a lot of variation in writing and presentation styles. Nevertheless, the level of detail required means that the assignment is likely to be at least 1500 words in length. Very brief assignments are unlikely to score well on content.
