UAP 020 Australian Studies Autumn Page 7 of 18 4. Essay Due: 11pm Sunday 14th May 2017 (Week 10). Length: 1200 - 1500 words This exercise is worth 35% of your overall grade In writing your essay you should try to take into account your tutor’s advice on your original essay plan. Your essay should draw upon at least five scholarly sources. For this essay you are not to cite either lecture notes or work completed in your tutorials. At least two of these sources need to be chosen from the set course readings and the supplied sources. You may reuse those that you selected for your essay plan. The readings will be available through Moodle, the UOW Library Catalogue or through Google Scholar. You may also use the weekly readings. Note that this is not a research essay, so you are not expected to use sources other than those provided. However you may, if you wish, use independently located sources provided that at least 2 sources are drawn from the set list. Should you require factual/statistical information then it will be acceptable to cite the Australian Bureau of Statistics but this should be in addition to your 5 reference texts. Any other source material should be checked with your tutor and will require a very good reason for inclusion. Use of unauthorised material will incur a penalty. The main criterion for a good essay is that it presents a succinct and accurate exposition of an argument, and a well-argued critical response to the essay question. See Appendix A for the essay question. See Appendix B for the list of source material.UAP 020 Australian Studies Autumn Page 8 of 18 Essay Submission Essay submission is online.

On occasion there may be exceptions to this time frame due to, for example; the size of the task, the size of the class, teacher illness or teacher leave. Where there are several teachers marking a major assessment task, tasks will be handed back by all the teachers within the same week.UAP 020 Australian Studies Autumn Page 12 of 18 Appendix A Essay Topics Select One of the following Australian Commercials and analyse the clip, identifying the role of specific Australian stereotypes and/or Australian histories that the advertisement uses in its construction. a.
