Med 5 Blog Task 16

The following comprises TASK SIXTEEN. It needs to be completed by Monday 5th February (13C), Tuesday 6th February (13D). (Like you'd forget!)
  • Complete your first draft of your Independent Study.
  • It must be a word processed 3000 word essay (with a word count included at the end).
  • Also, include correctly set out references, quotes and footnotes. (Footnotes should take the following form - Author Surname, Author First Name (year of publication), page number(s). eg...Craig, Steve (1992) p. 123.)
  • A full bibliography must be submitted. (See Task 10 for help with this). The first section should be titled 'Works Cited' and will contain everything that you make direct reference to in your essay. Divide it into 'Books', 'Newspapers & Magazines', 'Internet' and 'Moving Image Texts'. The second section should be called 'Works Consulted' and will cover all the additional research you did but that didn't necessarily get directly quoted. This should have the same subheadings as the first section.
  • Three copies are necessary. Hand in a hard copy (on paper) on the deadline day. Also create two electronic versions - firstly, paste your first draft up on your blog; secondly, send it by your writeboard page to your Study Buddy and Macguffin. (No more waving around floppy discs saying, ' My printer doesn't work'!)
This is the big one so no excuses and good luck!!

If you want it to include the footnotes, then do; if you don't, then don't...gives you a bit of leeway then, although an A/B grade student should be looking to write as much as he/she can get away with.
