Instructions
Please read the questions carefully before writing your responses. There is no ‘model’ or ‘unique’ answer to the
discussion question. 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. Answer should cite at least five references. Give
clear reference to all sources used and should be included in the text of your report.
Please feel free to use graphs, diagrams, tables, etc. to substantiate your responses. These do not count towards
the word limit.
