DEADLINES
Please respect the deadline which is in both your and my
interest. You will be glad you did when the deadlines for other assignments arrive.
Late submissions will be penalised.
SUBMISSION
All essays must be submitted to me in person:
do not leave them in the departmental office.
COLLECTION
Please also collect the corrected essays from me in
person. (I will leave all papers uncollected by the time of the final exam in the
departmental office.)
LENGTH
Do not write
more than the length stipulated
ESSAY WRITING GUIDELINES
Poorly presented and documented essays will be penalised.
Essays must be written according to the
formal guidelines laid
out in The MLA Handbook.
This means that all references must be correctly documented and your essay
must be accompanied by a list of Works Consulted according to the MLA Guidelines.
For further help with your
essay-writing,
please consult my Essay Writing Resources located
here.
Please familiarise yourself with the following handouts in particular:
My Essay Writing Guide
Some Do's and Dont's
My
Essay
Correction Codes
GENERAL ADVICE
The paper should be type-written;
The paper should be double-spaced;
Pages should be numbered;
Please insert a word count at the end.
Please do not submit essays by e-mail as an attachment: a hard
copy must be submitted.
Please do not submit your
paper in a plastic folder or any other kind of covering: the paper itself
is sufficient.
You should keep a copy of the term paper for yourself in case the one
submitted gets lost.
You should not merely regurgitate material drawn from my handouts: essays
should demonstrate evidence of detailled engagement with the primary
sources (i.e. the required readings) in question and, where necessary,
relevant secondary sources. In fact, try
not to
refer to my notes at all.
Since Module I is tested by the term paper, the final exam will test knowledge of
Module II.
