The essay should be double-spaced and contain a detailed bibliography. The essay must have a cover sheet signed by the student.

All topics provide you with the opportunity to explore one of them in depth and communicate how well you understand the concepts and ideas involved. The essays should put forth a case or argument in a well-developed manner. You should not just rehash study guide material; rather you should present an argument or opinion supported by facts. You should aim to think through an issue, use a range of supporting evidence as appropriate, and come to your own conclusions. There are no right or wrong answers to the questions we ask. What we judge is the depth of your understanding and your ability to present a case in an articulate and convincing manner.

We place much emphasis on correct and literate presentation. The essays must be clearly organised, referencing and citation conventions must be followed (see below), and you must write in prose (not note form). Your essays should show clear evidence that you have engaged in thoughtful reading of course material and other relevant material

Extensions
It is very important that you submit your essay on time. This is for a number of reasons: you need to keep working steadily and systematically through the course material or you will find a serious backlog towards the end of the unit; we need time to mark your essay/s and return them to you so you can get feedback before your next essay and/or the exam; and we need to be fair to those who do work hard and produce their essays in the time available. With this in mind, you must ensure that your essays are handed in by the due date.

Plagiarism
Students are asked to note the following University policy on plagiarism:

The University assumes students are honest and expects from students honest work in all their assignments. Good scholarship necessarily requires building on and borrowing from the work of others but this use must be acknowledged. Cheating, plagiarism and falsification of data are dishonest practices that contravene academic values of respect for knowledge, scholarship and scholars. These practices devalue the quality of learning, both for the individual and for others enrolled in the course; they also diminish the reputation of a University course. The University imposes strict penalties on students who are found to contravene the University plagiarism policy.

Definition and examples of plagiarism

Plagiarism means claiming and using as your own thoughts or writings of others without
acknowledgement. It includes:

•    Copying part or all of another student’s assignment.
•    Allowing another person to write some or all of your assignment.
•    Copying paragraphs, sentences or parts of sentences from texts or the internet without using quotation marks. Even if the source is acknowledged, using other’s words without quotation marks is still plagiarism.
•    Concepts or ideas from another person, from texts or from the internet, even if paraphrased, summarized or written in the student’s own words, must have their source acknowledged in references.

With software program markers could  trace plagiarism.
If students are unsure about any of the above points, or how to reference correctly, please consult the Unit Convener.
