Unpacking cosmopolitanism for the socialsciences/The following points may help you to produce a good piece of work:• You must address the question asked and not try to re-define, ‘twist it round’, or stateit in more general terms -to allow you to write about something else. In order to remindyourself of this, always put the question addressed at the beginning of your work. ‘Notanswering the question’ will result in a significant loss of marks.• You must demonstrate ability to synthesize key theories and concepts and developkey themes and/or arguments.• Your essay must be supported by illustrative examples and/or case studies. You areallowed to use supporting media and/or materials (such as images, sound and other medium).• Being asked to discuss something is not the same as being asked to list statements. Adiscussion will consider alternative points of view and your own thinking and evaluationshould be apparent in the discussion of the topic.• Your essay must be properly referenced:• only sources referred to specifically in the text of your answer should be includedin the bibliography;• all sources (including those for any numeric examples used) should beacknowledged;• there should be no references in your answer to sources which are not in yourbibliography BUT if you have not consulted the reference directly yourself youshould indicate in the text of your answer the secondary source from which iscomes. It is this secondary source that should be in your bibliography.• Listing a reference in the bibliography does not make it acceptable to copy sections ofthe book into your answer unless it is explicitly stated as a quotation. You must summarisethe points in your own words. Plagiarism is regarded as a most serious instance of academicmisconduct and is dealt with accordingly.• It is expected that you will consult academic and professional journals as well astextbooks. Many textbooks cover much the same information so consulting many differenttextbooks only results to duplicating this information. Textbooks tend not to have very up todate content and journal sources are vital for this.
