IMPORTANT INFORMATION– PLEASE READ

THIS WARNING IS REGARDING PLAGIARISM

Assessments must be all your own work and must not have been copied in part or in
whole from any other source, such as books or the internet, or from other students’ work.

If you wish to use another author’s exact words in a short quotation this must be clearly
marked up in inverted commas with the exact source given, including page number, so that
the reader can clearly see which words have been copied and are not your own.

If you paraphrase you also need to acknowledge the exact source used (in brackets).

Just quoting references used at the end is not sufficient.

Instructions:
You need to write a 1,000-word written essay in English that answers the essay
question. Essay title will appear on Prado (module’s area) on Friday, 31st March,
2023.

 It should have a clear structure, with ideas organised into different paragraphs and
sections.
 It should include primary quotation and secondary references.

  Engage critically with primary and secondary material, producing a piece of writing
which coherently articulates an analytical response (please do avoid unnecessary
summarising of content or author’s life).
 Regarding your use of English:

En los ensayos, mid-term test y en el examen final se espera que el alumno

demuestre un nivel de competencia lingüística equivalente a B2+.

La presencia de errores lingüísticos que denoten un nivel de competencia
