Everything is negotiable. Assignments are meant to lead you through your learning and they can always be adapted for your specific needs, dealing with your situation and pushing the limits of your education. The length of papers suggested above assumes double-spacing and is meant to be a guide only. Quality is always more important than quantity. We expect that you will include in your assignments evidence of reading other texts and articles than those assigned when this is appropriate.
Most modules have suggestions for further reading.
The 'papers' must be in intelligible prose, but need not conform in all respects to scholarly format. Quoted material should be brief and clearly identified as to source. Plagiarism will be regarded as a serious fault and could result in the assignment of a failing grade. Each 'electronic paper' is to be e-mailed to the instructors. The instructors will reply with comments and authorize the beginning of another session.
