General Guidance

Your assignment should be word processed (handwritten assignments are not accepted),

using time new roman size 12 font, double spaced, with numbered pages and your student

number printed as a footer on every page.

The word limits stated for this assignment excludes the reference list at the end of the

assignment but includes all text in the main body of the assignment (including direct

quotations, in-text citations, footnotes, tables, diagrams and graphs).

Please be aware that exceeding the word count limit will affect the academic judgement of

the piece of work and may result in the award of a lower mark.

Appendices are not considered a supplement, and thus, will not be assessed as part of the

content of the assignment. As such, they will not contribute to the grade awarded, however it

may be appropriate to use an Appendices section for any material which is a useful reference

for the reader. Please note that appendices are not included in the word count.

The majority of references should come from primary sources (e.g., journal articles,

conference papers, reports, etc.) although you can also utilise area specific textbooks. You

must ensure that you use the Harvard style of referencing.

Please indicate the word count length at the end of your assignment.

Written assignment topic:
