2.2. Basic requirements
When answering the question, you shall demonstrate: • An understanding of the course material and/or other credible reference material relevant to the issue the question is addressing. • The extent to which you have considered this reference material within the context of the question, and to which you propose creative, reflective, and insightful thoughts specific to the question being asked. • The word count for your answers to each question is 1,000 words (excluding reference list). It is fine to have 10% more or less, but going beyond or below this word limit will result in deduction of possible marks.
A good academic essay • should answer a question or task. • should have a thesis statement (answer to the question) and an argument. • should present or discuss something: develop a thesis via a set of closely related points by reasoning and evidence. • should include relevant examples, supporting evidence and information from academic texts or credible sources.
