Remarks:
1. If possible, please include primary sources, as well as secondary sources in the essay.
2. Please use at least 2 readings from the reading list in the essay, and for the rest of the references, its up to you.
3. Please follow the essay structure that the tutor suggested.
Guidelines from tutor:
Your approach to the essay: Have you tackled the issue in an appropriate way conceptually (ideas from reading)? Have you in fact done what you set out to do in your introduction? And is this appropriate to the question you have decided on?
Your methodology: How appropriate is the means by which you have gathered your data and the extent of that research in terms of the question/issue you have set yourself? Your essays will be various in approach: you may adopt a historical approach; an in depth case study; interviews or ethnography with consumers/participants/users; observation/analysis of ads in their media or urban context; public debates and comment about ads/advertising, whether online in social/media, in industry media or in policy documents.
Your research: All Essays for the Advertising module require that you do some primary research though the latter will take different forms depending on the topic/question and approach you are dealing with. Primary research is the data you yourself collect. We will be considering whether the research is appropriate to the question(s) you have set yourself, whether its been done in enough depth? Is your research material fully and clearly presented and analysed? Is the research insightful and interesting? Do you use your academic literature to help you analyse and think through your research findings? Do you engage critically with your research?
Your understanding of a relevant academic literature which has already covered your topic or is relevant to thinking about your topic (ie. secondary sources). Here we will be considering your ability to outline the arguments and ways of thinking (concepts/theories) used in that literature and to build on them, critiquing them where necessary in order to make your own argument. As with all academic argument, your argument should be made, at least in part, by agreement/disagreement with those of others. But your argument will also develop through the testing out of your academic literature on your own primary research.
The structure of your essay: the effectiveness of your argument depends on introducing your topic clearly, organising your material into appropriate sections, which deal with different facets of your topic, and on having an effective conclusion. You may not have tried this before but we want you to use sub-headings to divide your essay into sections. These will help you to make the most of what is, in fact, quite a short word length and really help you to structure your essay.
Your writing: your ability to write clearly and engagingly language is after all to be enjoyed when read (notwithstanding the impression you might have gained from some academic writing!) Your use of academic conventions quotes, referencing, bibliography and so on in the course of your argument.
The overall presentation of your Essay: where it’s appropriate, that you have included, referenced and integrated visual and other support material (tables, statistics), and used them in a way that adds significantly to your written argument. Your Essay is meticulously referenced, using academic conventions, in the body of the essay and in your bibliography. Your essay meets the word length (bibliography and appendices are excluded from the word count), give or take around 400 words either way. It is competently presented and looks as if it’s been professionally executed i.e. reasonable margins, font size of at least 11 point, double spaced. Typos and spelling mistakes have been checked! (Ditto it’s and its!). If you do notice some last minute mistakes it’s better to correct by hand than not at all. Pages are numbered, illustrations and other material labelled.
Essay Structure Guideline
You should think of your Essay in sections: an introduction, followed by a maximum of 4, but probably 3 middle sections and a conclusion. In this way you can change gear, or shift the angle from which you come at your topic/issue without wasting precious words.
The structure and argument of your Essay can also be helped by thinking up some precise subheadings for your sections: the headings signpost the structure and sometimes help carry your argument. This will help the reader but also free up words for you to further develop your discussion.
Attention, Please note that you are not supposed to upload any files with additional pages (extra instructions) until Administration informs you on the payment receipt.
