The approach to the essay 

Students should demonstrate the breadth of their reading in their essays with reference to  original peer-reviewed academic articles, additional to those journal articles covered in the  class (marks will be deducted where this is not demonstrated). There will also be a need to  include media and company reports. Marks will be awarded for the clarity of argument and  quality of presentation as well as technical content.
