Questions effectively provide prompts which encourage the student to undertake an in depth investigation. All questions relate to the topics covered in by the lectures however, given the extended time frame and the ability to freely use available resources to compile answers, independent investigation is required. Students are discouraged from reproducing/ representing source materials and are instead encouraged to synthesise and objectively review litreature as a basis for academic discourse. Students are also encouraged to evaluate sources and justify their use. |
