    A long essay with maximum 2500 words will account for 50% of your final mark.

    The
    topic of the long essay is:

    “Discuss the challenges faced by the developing countries


    in the context of international trade for goods and services
    in the process of globalization.”

    Read carefully, Section 4.1 and Section 5 for guidance in constructing your essay.

    4.1. Guidelines for Writing Essays

    • Final year students are expected to undertake comprehensive research before


    writing their essays though you should try to be selective in the use of the
    research material.

    • Essays must have an appropriate formal structure; i.e. introduction, main part,
    conclusions. Discussion, ideas and evidence should be organized around the
    main theme of the essay.

    • Essays must have an appropriate contextual structure; e.g. logical consistency,


    an integrated presentation, a logical flow of discussion, statements
    substantiated with evidence, no disconnection between different paragraphs
    and sections, a focus on key issues.

    • Avoid writing your essay in a pure summary form. Try to present the debate in a
    critical and original way.

    • Essays must be typed, and proof-read to avoid minor errors regarding


    punctuation, spelling, grammar. Every paragraph should have, at least, three
    sentences and every section, at least, three paragraphs.

    • Slang, colloquial words, contractions (e.g. won’t, didn’t) not to be used.

    • When ideas and findings of others are presented an appropriate academic style
    of citation should be adopted; e.g. (Obstfeld, 1998:22).

    • Each essay must have a full bibliography in alphabetical order at the end.

    • A strict vigilance is maintained in this module against courseworks that are


    products of academic misconduct (e.g. plagiarism and collusion). Do not risk
    your degree for a week’s comfort.
    In order to achieve your best results you may wish to visit the electronic resources
    on the website of ASU (Academic Skills Unit) which can help you with Harvard
    Referencing, Essay Writing, Report Writing and various other skills to improve your
    assignments.
