Essay - Motivation is the most important factor in academic success. Do you agree?
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 must have at least 2 other sources of your own.
In your essay, you must use a citation every time you raise an idea, opinion, or provide evidence that is not your own. The minimum required number of citations depends on the number of supporting arguments you are using in your essay. For example, if you have 2 supporting arguments, you will write 2 body paragraphs, so you need to include at least 6 citations, that is, at least one for each argument, counter-argument and refutation. No more than 10% of your essay length should consist of direct quotations.
You may discuss the essay question with others, and you may use some of the same resources. You must, however, plan, write and edit your essay INDEPENDENTLY to avoid allegations of collusion.
When marking the essay task, the following criteria will be assessed:
• Use of persuasive analytical structure
• Development of persuasive arguments
• Use of evidence
• Quality of written expression
• Use of in-text citations
• Accuracy of reference list
• Compliance with style and formatting guidelines
