FR256 Summative Assessment

2024-25

Summative assessment consists of one 2250-2500 word essay (worth 70% of the overall mark) and one 1250-1500 word close analysis (worth 30%). Full details on titles and deadlines will be available on the Moodle page in 2024–25: you can find the 2023–24 selection here.

Primary and secondary sources

The argument in your essay or commentary should be supported by detailed references to both primary and secondary source material. Primary source material includes the documents in the module sourcebook, which should be referenced in the footnotes using the title of the source and the sourcebook page number.

You may, If you wish, discuss the same text/thinker in a summative assignment as you have discussed in a piece of formative assignment, but you must not reproduce in part or whole any of your formative assignment in your summative assignment.
