Dear Students, A number of you have been finding it difficult to keep to the 300 words when analysing the reading. Others have pointed out that the model we have given you of the Hermit Crab is 440 words. In an email that I sent to you on 22 July, I said that you could write between 300 - 500 words (Maximum) for each of the 6 readings. I also said that the final submission should be between 2500 - 3500 words. While you could write 500 words easily for each reading that would amount to 3000 before you have written an introduction and a summary/conclusion that compares and contrasts all the readings. This will limit your ability to be able to add to what you have written over the 6 weeks. My advice is that you should try to keep to the lower word count but we will not penalise you if you write 500 words. However, for the final submission we will be expecting you to keep below the 3500 word limit! Just remember that it will be the drawing together that will show us how your knowledge has grown over the 6 weeks. Regards Di
