To achieve the learning outcomes of the module you must complete all tasks below, use only the most important up-to-date and relevant information and submit the assignment in report format. The report should largely adhere to the 'Report format' guidelines overleaf, and should be approximately 2,500 - 3,000 words (excluding appendices).
It is essential to demonstrate your research activities. Each report section must refer to sources that have contributed to your understanding of the topic (including relevant online sources, articles, books and journals). Give credit to respected authors on whose work your discussion is based (reference your sources); this avoids plagiarism, and demonstrates your background research and understanding.
