Western Sydney university / Australia Analytical reading and writing This is the essay question: “If you control language, you control yourself, and you probably control other people too” (Hale & Basides, 2013, p. 88). How does this claim relate to one of the topics? Swearing as offensive language or hate speech. Submission time is 11.59pm, of Week 14 (the 20th May, 2017), via the Final Essay Turnitin link on vUWS. Formatting and literacy requirements are as per the LG. A draft version of this essay is due by Thursday the 4th May, 2017 (11.59am), via its own Turnitin link on vUWS. Students can submit earlier than this, and they can use the Practice Turnitin Link to check their work for Referencing and Literacy standards. Students can build on their previous WTs for the essay, but they cannot just recycle major portions of their own writing. The essay needs to be substantially better, and different: larger portions need to be rephrased and improved. Students are expected to use some or all of the suggested texts on the Reading List (4 minimum, and at least 3 of these must be academic sources), but are also expected to find at least another 2 academic texts (not on the Reading List) which they must use in their response. That is, a student must demonstrate independent research for the essay answer. Therefore, the essay reference list should have at least 6 sources, and these must have been used in the essay explicitly. Students can use source texts from any other topic as part of this research, but a student who locates and uses a quality source text well (not from any topic) will be awarded higher marks. The essay is 1000 words long, plus or minus 10%, and not including the essay question or the Reference List. Quoted material is considered as part of the essay. Extensions need to be negotiated between you and your tutor/Unit Coordinator. The essay will be marked according to the Learning Guide (LG) criteria, and marks will be available on vUWS sometime after week 16, for a few weeks until the vUWS site is taken down for the end of semester. Note that raw grades on GradeCentre are still subject to moderation by UWS, but they are a good indication of whether a s************ pass************ject. Any student with SC or an AIP can have a confidential discussion with their UC or tutor for an extension or varied submission requirements.
