1. INTRODUCTION
It is meant to inform the reader about three main things: what the student is going to do; why the subject is important and for whom (i.e. contributions to theory and practice); and how this is going to be done. For example the student could start by introducing:
- general issues regarding the subject/topic in question
2. MAIN BODY SECTION (a subtitle here is advisable) (Approx 1,000 words - Section 2 & 2.1)
This section develops the key issues introduced above i.e. by analysing the nature of the topic e.g. different schools of thought; key concepts have to be defined. For example:
- make clear who says what (theories/authors) and why this is important for your analysis
- illustrate with cases studies/examples if relevant for your essay
The main body of the work will involve discussion which:
- addresses the criticisms against the ideas/concepts/theories above (e.g. different theoretical perspectives in relation to the topic; lack of empirical information, etc.)
- This is the place to be critical on the subject using extant literature.
3. CONCLUSIONS (Approx 500 words)
- summarise what has been done
- summarise the main findings of the study
- the student may also have his/her own ideas/opinion which could support or contradict what have been said earlier.
- outline your own main reflections on the subject/study (i.e. what you have learnt from it)
4. REFERENCES
List here all of the references cited or quoted throughout the text (e.g. books; handbooks; journal articles; government reports, etc.) (use the Harvard referencing system).
