Assignment 6


Assignment  Six is up and running!  Here are some hints from our classroom discussions.  If you haven’t been able to get in, you might be at a disadvantage until you can get the hand-outs.  Since they are mainly photocopies of excerpts from textbooks, I can’t put them on the website because of copyright issues.  Also, if you can’t get to classes the assignment is on the website here, and must be submitted by Monday 1st February.



Oh, and I might have confused and worried a few people last week.  Assignment 5 is due in 18th January, not 11th.  Ho hum. 

Back to Assignment 6.  The two most important words in the assignment are “discuss” and “two”.  You are only required to discuss two of the three options. 

Discuss is best summed up as ‘describe, explain, evaluate, giving examples where appropriate’. 

I’ve made three burger diagrams (link 1) (Link 2) (Link 3) which are nothing more than basic suggestions as to how the options might be answered.  They are not set in stone!  And there’s no right or wrong answer for these – there rarely is for a discussion!

There is no word count for this assignment, but you must reference.  I would expect the whole thing to be about 1000-1500 words, may be more, may be less. 


Might be a lot of wine in this assignment. 


Perhaps you’d better sit back and have a nice cup of tea instead.



As usual, if you're stuck, then ask.  Ask me, ask your mate, ask anyone but don't sit and let it fester.
