The approach to the essay

Students should demonstrate the breadth of their reading in their essays with reference to original peer-reviewed academic articles, additional to those journal articles covered in the class (marks will be deducted where this is not demonstrated). There will also be a need to include media and company reports. Marks will be awarded for the clarity of argument and quality of presentation as well as technical content.
