Please ensure all sources and frameworks are referenced within your assignment. General guidance to students on content and approach The word limit is 2,000 words (+/- 10%), excluding reference list. You should indicate the number of words in your assignment on the cover. APPENDICES ARE NOT REQUIRED AND WILL NOT BE READ OR ASSESSED BY THE TUTOR! Please have a look at Lecture Slides and Seminar Slides that I will upload. They are very important for the assignment. This is not just an essay. You’ll have to use the models as well as strong sources of information to explain and not just assume things. My tutor always says a strong conclusion gives the student good grade so please have extra attention to it. Referencing it’s very important as the tutor needs to know where the information is coming from. I hope everything goes well. Many Thanks.
