Here is a short explanation of what you are asked to do: 1- Read the 9 articles assigned in the reading list (units 1 -6). 2- Pose a research question or identify problem or state a research statement/hypothesis based on your understanding of the readings. 3- Write an essay (<=1500 words). The essay should have a title that clearly reflects the content of the essay, an introduction (review of the 9 articles) which leads to your research statement/question/hypothesis/problem (one of them only is needed); discussion section which answers the research question or support/negate the hypothesis/statement or addresses the problem (in view of your understanding of the readings). This is the part where you can have your input and demonstrate your analytical skills. Finally, a conclusion section which sums up your argument and clearly state your position. More details are explained in the marking criteria available from [email protected]>7407ENG>Assessment. All 9 articles must be reviewed and used (at least in the introduction section). The discussion section may rely on all or some of the articles depending on the research question asked or statement/hypothesis. Only the 9 articles listed in the reading list (unit 1 - 6) are to be used. Make sure to use appropriate referencing style (Harvard is preferred). Use in text citation and a list of references. Only articles cited in text must appear in the list of references.
