Essay Guidelines
In writing your essay, please make sure you attend to the following guidelines:
– Make sure you address the specific issues raised in the question.

– Read the starter references, but make sure you go beyond them to review
more recent research literature in the area. We expect you to consult journal
articles and chapters from books. Do not rely only on developmental
textbooks for your essay. It is important that whenever possible you read the original journal articles and book chapters you cite — secondary references should be kept to a minimum. As a rough guide, a good reference list would include at least 10-12 references, with some citations from the past 3 years.

– Your reference list should be done in proper American Psychological
Association (APA) format. See the format of the references below and also
consult the examples at the end of this document. Proper format means, for
example, putting all the full stops, commas, italicised fonts, etc. where
required, and paying attention to which words (e.g., in book titles) start with
upper case letters and which words do not.
