therefore suggest you aim to answer each question in around 200 words.
Please use in-text citations, and include a list of references at the end of your

correctly, please see here: http://www.citethemrightonline.com/

the reading list, information presented in-class, and your own knowledge
and understanding. Please ensure you have carefully read the marking
