This short essay question. It will be graded out of 100 marks. The main intent of this short essay question is to ensure that you have a sound grasp of the fundamentals of the material presented in this unit. To that end, there is a 4 page (1000 words) limit for this question. Remember: I’m not so concerned with whether you agree with a particular author or not. The quality of your answer is based on your exposition of the competing positions, your comparative analysis of those positions and, lastly, your argument in support of the position you defend.
As with all the short essay questions in this course, this short essay question is not designed to be a “research” question. There is no requirement to get material from external sources such as other authors, or reference websites, who have summarized, or criticized, the authors you are dealing with. In effect, including such material defeats your purpose in completing your essay because you are essentially telling me what some other person thought about the material you should be explaining and assessing. If you make reference to sources external to the course readings it will be detrimental to your mark. In some cases, I may ask you to revise and re-submit your short essay. The point of your essay is to formulate the course material and develop your critical response. You can only do this by working with the course material and developing your own ideas about the issue.
I encourage you to work closely with the online instructional content and the assigned course text readings in completing this essay. To this end, I will be expecting you to make appropriate citations in your essay when referring to the authors in the assigned course text readings. Please refer to the Coursework Instructions for the acceptable format for citations in your short essay.
