made to both and what has been their impact in development studies?
Essays will be assessed on a variety of criteria. These include:
the extent to which the course aims and learning outcomes have been achieved;
the use of evidence from the work of scholars to make clear arguments;
critical engagement with the works of scholars covered on the course;
the use of good referencing, reflected in citations, ideas, and arguments (which are correctly
referenced and integrated into the text);
the accuracy of the expression (it is important that all coursework is proofread several times before
submission);
Thesis statement, double spaced, indented paragraphs
imagination and originality (the extent to which you have been able to synthesise the works of others
and develop your own view of their work).
Do not do any plagiarism!
