The study will ideally relate to both local and central government, and may take the form of a 3,000 word essay, or a shorter essay plus one or more related journalistic articles. - 80%
An in class presentation focusing on the issue/debate you are intending to examine in your case study, giving details of how you are planning to carry out research for it and how you intend to present your work.
What they should contain:
- Address a political issue or debate which has been in the news during the course of the module.
- Make logical connections and explore relationships between the impact of this issue/debate on local government, central government and, where appropriate, international governmental institutions.
- Utilise suitable visual aids and/or support material, Powerpoint presentations, handouts, cuttings, printouts etc.) to better illustrate the points you are covering, and provide some evidence of the current relevance of your chosen topic and how you came to focus on it for your case study.
- Stick to an appropriate length (five to seven minutes), including a Q&A
- Project clearly, and maintain good eye contact.
Each presentation will initially be assessed using a standard mark sheer designed to address these criteria/ You may hand in support materials at the end, to be taken into account in finalisinng your marks. One final thing: should you decide on a different issue, this does not mean you will receive any lower a mark for your presentation than otherwise. It is possible to obtain a high mark even if you subsequently decide to write an essay on a different subject.
