Assignment:
Essay - Address one of the following topics. Make it clear what your argument is, and don't forget to define key terms. Your argument must reference the role of 'free' online labour, and draw on material from Module 1 and Module 2. The goal of this assignment is for you to demonstrate your ability to analyse broad shifts in the economy linked to the Internet. Choose one of the following topics:
1. "The Internet has centralised economic power."
Undergraduate students should approximately 2,000 words, postgraduate students should write approximately 3,000 words. Postgraduates will need to do more to connect their analysis to specific case studies in order to demonstrate a deeper analysis than that provided by undergraduates. You can write up to 10% more than the word count without being penalised. If you're more than 10% under the word count, it's a sign that you're not providing enough depth in your argument.
The essay topics are deliberately worded to allow a range of responses (including disagreeing with any of the statements), and you are encouraged to develop a response that integrates some of the more complex arguments and positions addressed in the curriculum materials as well as through the seminars/Discussion Board. Your learning in Module 2 will be most effective if you develop your ideas through discussion.
Criteria for Assessment You will be marked according to how well you:
1. Demonstrate understanding of the relationship between capitalism and the Internet;
2. Draw effectively on relevant academic research, including theoretical concepts and empirical data;
3. Present a developed and well-structured argument;
4. Effectively communicate in the essay format;
5. Support and connect your statements with appropriate examples, the role of free online labour, and relevant concepts from Modules 1 and 2.
All your work needs to indicate clearly, using APA-format referencing, whenever another source is being used. This includes: using the wording of another person, paraphrasing or drawing on information and ideas from another source (even if reworded).
