Your short essay should be 1200 words in length (- or + ten per cent is acceptable). The reference list is not included in the word count. It is worth 25 per cent of your overall grade.
Sources: You should cite at least four sources in total. Most of the questions can be answered using unit materials – you are expected to use both the required and extended readings available in Leganto. However, some of the questions necessitate original research. Don’t hesitate to reach out to Eve to discuss your sources if you hold any doubts.
Referencing: Use ‘in-text’ referencing. Place a citation in brackets in the text of the essay. For example:
Geertz (1960: 13) made the point that
OR
Geertz notes that, Most of the food remains uneaten (Geertz 1960: 13).
