• Use anthropological texts as your sources: these may be whole books, chapters of books, or journal articles. Minimum 8 texts.

• Your essay should include critical evaluation of the sources you use – e.g. how and why are they different, what are their strengths and weaknesses. As you read, think about what theoretical and methodological approaches have been used: this will help you to evaluate the texts.

(BOLD REFFERING TO REFERENCE TYPE) DO not bold within ESSAY.

• Sub-headings are not required in shorter essays

• All sources used in your essay should be included in a bibliography at the end of your essay – but only those you refer to in your essay. List all items in alphabetical order by author surname and do not have separate sections for different kinds of sources.
