Assessment description
This task assesses the learning outcomes 1 (critically read, analyse and make meaning from academic texts), 2 (identify and summarise the main points of arguments), 3 (locate and cite arguments and evidence using the conventions of academic research), and 4 (produce a well-structured, logical, coherent and cohesive response to writing tasks using appropriate academic language structures).
Guidelines
The essay question is:
Collaborating during university studies creates better learning outcomes than independent study. Do you agree?
Your essay plan must follow the instructions on the Essay Plan Template and be submitted in the supplied format. This includes using complete sentences for the thesis statement and topic sentences, then dot points to complete other parts of the plan.
In addition, you are expected to write a full draft of your introduction paragraph.
If you are a repeating student, you must not submit an essay plan from a previous term. Please talk to your teacher.
You need to include a minimum of 3 current academic sources (such as books or recently published journal articles). One of your sources may include the supplied text but you need to have found at least 2 other sources of your own.
You may discuss the essay question with others and you may use some of the same resources. You must, however, plan your essay INDEPENDENTLY to avoid allegations of collusion.
