    WORD LIMIT: 
    Remember that there is a 1500 word limit. Marks will be deducted for exceeding the 
    word limit (1 percentage point for each 10 words that you exceed the word limit). 
    Some basic guidelines on essay writing 
    Thesis and Relevance of Arguments 
    The essay should demonstrate your capacity to develop a structured argument in 
    response to the question. Your material must be relevant to the question and draw on 
    the themes and issues of the unit. Make sure that you identify exactly what the 
    question is asking.  Make a clear argument (the “thesis” of your essay) and support it 
    with appropriate evidence. 
    Make sure you demonstrate that you understand the central concept used (e.g. 
    ‘culture’ and ‘ethnography’.) You can do this either by giving definitions (do this only 
    with very difficult or very important technical words) or, preferably, by using the 
    concepts in such a way that demonstrates that you know what they mean. 
    Furthermore, you need to focus on the relation between abstractions/theories and the 
    raw data (empirical examples) you use to explore these theories, in order to achieve a 
    balanced discussion.  
    Organisation and Expression      
    The essay should be clearly organised so that it develops an argument. You should 
    have an introductory paragraph that states the aim of the essay and outlines the structure of the argument. The points made in one paragraph should follow on from 
    the previous paragraph and lead into the next one. You should have a conclusion that 
    summarises your main points. 
    Clear expression is an important part of a clear argument. Attention to grammar, 
    syntax and style will assist in clarifying what you are trying to say to the reader. Try 
    reading aloud or ask someone to read it for you, and ask a friend to tell you whether 
    the arguments make sense and follow a logical flow. 
    You should leave a 4cm left margin and use a 12 point font with double spacing. 
    Number the pages. Essays must be typed 
    Research and Referencing                      
    Make use of appropriate sources from the required and recommended readings in the 
    unit outline and in the essay handout.  Search the Library or the Internet for additional 
    references.  Lectures, tutorials and general anthropology texts should also guide you 
    to relevant issues and readings. Make sure that the points you make are relevant and 
    illustrate the argument of your essay.  
    Do not uncritically rely on un-scholarly sources such as Wikipedia and non-peer 
    reviewed popular literature or websites.  You can mention these to make a critical 
    point (e.g. “This popular website makes such-and-such a claim about drugs,”) but do 
    not assume that they represent the final word on a topic.  
    Do not just summarize the arguments of different authors – show links between them, 
    agreements and disagreements, and offer a critical assessment of the authors’ 
    arguments and the data they marshal in support of those arguments.  
    Back up all statements of fact, quotations, and paraphrased sentences with appropriate 
    citations. 
    Use the referencing system as described in the essay writing guide on the 
    Anthropology Department website. If you plagiarise, you will fail the whole 
    assignment, so make sure you reference both direct quotes and when you use other 
    people’s ideas. You must also have a bibliography / reference list). 
    Communication / Writing 
    Spelling, punctuation, and grammar are extremely important: you should use a 
    dictionary (and your spell checker) regularly.  Have a friend proof-read it for you 
    before submitting – another person can often spot typos that you might miss.
