Do not give any identifyingnames of people or places.The rest of the introduction will outline what the reader will expect to perceive as they proceed, soyou may wish to write it after you have finished the main body of the assignment. Some people willprefer to do this. Others however, will find that writing the introduction at the beginning will helpshape and organise their thoughts. Whatever way you work, it will be useful to plan your intentionsand discuss those intentions with your academic supervisor. If you write the introduction at the startof your work, it is good practice to refer back to the introduction at the end to check that you haveindeed done what is outlined. If there are differences between what you say that you intend to doand what you actually write in the assignment these differences need to be corrected.Main Body: (approx 80%)What is/are the issue/s?

We thereforeencourage you not to use appendices.Critical Thinking & the Marking GridAt level 6, it is important that you demonstrate a high level of thinking. However well-written,description-only is insufficient and is unlikely to achieve a pass. The markers will expect to seeevaluation and analysis of literature, with evidence of your own thought processes and suggestions.Familiarise yourself with the Level 6 Marking Grid, and make sure that you write at this level. Forexample, “Can evaluate/argue alternative approaches/viewpoints”, “Clear, well-supported argumentsthat incorporate own viewpoint”.
