There is only one assignment in this subject.
Students are to choose a topic of their own relating to any of the areas covered in the course.
Students should, however, seek my approval of the topic. They may do so by submitting a research proposal no longer than 300 words outlining what they want to research on, why they consider that topic important and what issues they want to look at in their essay. This research proposal should reach me no later than the beginning of the third week of semester. Students should provide contact details, preferably telephone or e-mail address at the bottom of their proposal to facilitate quick response from me. On campus students have a choice to do a 15 minute presentation to the class on their research project.
