Explain Kuwait’s democratic development since its independence.

Format
Your essay must be word processed and contain the following information:
A title page with (1) your name, (2) the question and (3) date of submission.
Page numbers;
Footnotes or endnotes; and
A bibliography at the end

Sources
You may use no less than 4 academic sources including academic books and journals (aim not to use your required readings!). It is important that you look for reference works on your own, or with the help of the library staff, so that you can develop the important skill of independent search for literature.

How to reference a book in the bibliography
Crystal, Jill. (1992), Kuwait : the transformation of an oil state, Westview Press, Boulder, 1992.

How to reference a journal article in the bibliography
Ghabra, Shafeeq. “Kuwait and the Dynamics of Socio-economic Change”, Middle East
Journal, 1997, Vol.15, No.3, pp.358-72.

Internet Sources
If the page you have used has an author and a title, you can include it as normal in the alphabetical list of sources (e.g. Sands, James, ‘Kafka and the Surrealists’ at: http://www.pitt.edu/german/sands/kafka.htm, accessed 9 May 2013). If the page has no clear author, the reference should appear at the end of the alphabetical list.

Internet plagiarism (copying from web sources without proper referencing) carries penalties and is dealt with in exactly the same way as plagiarism from printed sources. Although cut-and-paste facilities make it tempting to copy material from web pages, search engines and turnit.com make Internet plagiarism easy to detect.

As X point out, …
According to X, …
To quote from X, “….”
X states /suggests that…
X shows that…
In an article entitled Name of Text, X makes the point that…
In Name of Source, X wrote that…
Writing in 1998, X argued that…

Using Quotations:

Quotations should be:
used only if the words really worth quoting
brief-a few words or at most a few lines (avoid long quotations)
How to Reference?
When you have used , quoted or paraphrased a source, acknowledge it (otherwise this is called plagiarism!). Either within the sentence or at the end of the sentence, write in brackets the author’s name, date of publication and page numbers. Full details of the source should be written out in the bibliography.

How to Write a Bibliography?
book: note you don’t give the page numbers (this you do when referencing within the essay!)

Crystal, Jill. (1992), Kuwait : the transformation of an oil state, Westview Press, Boulder, 1992.

Journal: not for a journal article you give the page numbers for the whole article
