(1000-1250 Words)
guidelines:
It is an expectation that students will consult at least six scholarly
sources in writing this particular assignment, which should be evident
in the referencing and reference list. Please avoid quoting directly
from the sociological dictionary, as this is a thinking exercise
requiring research. It is also inadvisable to quote the lectures
directly as these are based on a variety of extant sources and you
should ask the lecturer to direct you to the relevant source for a
particular study or theory referred to in the lectures if you want to
use this material.
