To paraphrase Aristotle’s argument in Poetics (c. 335 BC): “A whole is that which has beginning, middle and end.”
It is useful to do some preliminary research prior to writing your essay. Consult a few references other than the main text. Do not place any reliance on weak online sources such as Wikipedia/ tutor2u etc. It is essential to focus on more academically credible sources. While preparing your answer, you should try to make use of the formal concepts and economic principles that are discussed in the lectures and provided within the course material. Do not simply provide general answers. Instead, do try and demonstrate your subject speci?c knowledge. Use examples and/ or diagrams, as appropriate, including from the economics and ?nancial press. You should consult the undergraduate handbook/ School guidance booklets on writing assignments and project reports, if needed. It is helpful to write clear and well-structured assignments, where you present your argument lucidly and in an informed manner, with due reference to appropriate theoretical concepts and relevant real life examples. Read around the topic, assess the issues involved, summarise your main points, think of a suitable analytical framework and essay structure, then write your report.
Or, to quote Lewis Carroll (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Chapter XII): The White Rabbit put on his spectacles [see Fig 1 & 2]. ‘Where shall I begin, please your Majesty?’ he asked. ‘Begin at the beginning,’ the King said gravely, ‘and go on till you come to the end: then stop.’
Hi, I want to achieve a first in this assignment and could it please be to a second years standard.
Thanks
