The form containing the criteria used to mark this assessment is attached below and is also available on Blackboard in the Assessment section, along with the marking rubric that explains the standard associated with each element in the marking form.
Some additional points to note for this assessment:
Remember that it is necessary to explain and/or justify the points that you make, and that unsubstantiated assertions provide no credibility to your discussion or analysis.
You are expected to consult academic journals and texts for material to support your discussion in this assignment. At least six (6) of these sources must be used in your discussion and cited correctly within your text and in the References List. These sources should be additional to your prescribed text. Your Reference List should be indicative of the sources you actually cite in presenting this assignment. Please see the NBS Student Manual for the correct form of citation.
Dot points should be used very, very sparingly, if at all. Dot points are a communication tool for presenting summary information and rarely progress discussion or argument. Your assessment requires integrated discussion and/or argument, not presentation of summary information
