• Choice & Use of source material:

try to show evidence that you have done reading relevant to the assessment topic and accessed a range of sources (normally a minimum of six) that would be considered academically appropriate (e.g. books, chapters, journal articles, academic and official websites), rather than relying on lecture notes or less reliable sources such as newspapers and non-academic or non-official websites. Make at least some attempt to use primary sources (e.g. original texts/monographs, journal articles) rather than secondary sources (e.g. textbooks that describe/report arguments made by others rather than making original arguments).
