Secondly, I have had a couple of emails now from students asking about the number of references expected in the short-answer assessments. So that everyone has the same information, here is the response to that question:
Other than the couple of questions in Assessment 2, where you are asked to “provide your own example” of something, I would expect to see at least one reference in each question.
The textbook is suitable to use as a reference, but I’m looking for students to engage with this as more than just a ‘pick the right answer out of the textbook’ exercise. In most cases, the textbook author cites academic studies – they might be something you can read to broaden your understanding.
Saying that, I realise 50 words is a tight limit, so I’m not expecting you to be reading 4 or 5 articles and citing them all for each question.
