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.
