Advice and Guidance
A key objective of this assessment is to develop your independent study skills by requiring you to read more widely than the basic textbooks, and to produce a reasoned, logical and well-written answer to the question set.
You should research the area in question, describe and explain as the task suggests, and come to reasoned conclusions, supported by reference to primary and secondary sources.
There is no ‘right answer’. There are a range of reasonable conclusions you could reach.
Ensure your assignment has a clear structure; a beginning, a middle and an end. Your introduction should make clear that you understand the task and set out how you intend to approach it.
You need to show that you have engaged with relevant primary and secondary sources.
You should set out your arguments clearly, showing the claims you are making and the evidence which relates to those claims. A reader should be able to follow logically your ‘journey’ from a claim to a conclusion.
In your overall conclusion you should summarise the key points you have made in your work and set out clearly what your ‘answer’ (however firm or tentative) to the task is/are. Your overall conclusion should flow logically from your discussion. It should not include any new material and need not be lengthy.
