Some important information about the essay:
1. The word limit is 1000 words. The word limit excludes tables, graphs, and references. You
should use a standard and clear font (e.g. Arial, Calibri). There is no page limit, since you
may want to include graphs/tables. There is a 10% leeway for the word limit.
2. Please make sure the essay is typed, not hand-written. Hand-written essays will
automatically get zero marks.
3. Make sure you properly refer to your sources of data. There are no referencing
restrictions, you can use any style you would like to, but please be consistent throughout
the essay.
