POINT  OF CLARIFICATION REGARDING ASSIGNMENTS
.

please note the following points of clarification regarding the assignment:

Introduction and conclusion – as per the module handbook, you just need to fill the 4 boxes in and each individual essay needs to have its

own introduction and conclusion. You don’t need to put any overall general introduction or conclusion outside of the boxes.

References – students should put all of their references in one main section at the end (either inside or outside of a box, it doesn’t

matter). Please note that references need to be listed in alphabetical order and formatted as per the Harvard guidelines.

Word count – the usual rules as per the module handbook apply. If the in-text citations put you a few words over the word count, then

please do not worry about this; this will not count. The word count for the main references section is separate, as always.
