Essay Writing Assignment:

Task: We want you to write an essay because we believe essays are effective ways of using a range of research to help you unpack your ideas, and what you think about them, in a rich amount of valuable detail. In this essay, you need to combine one idea from the first section of the unit (weeks 1-3) with one idea from the last part the unit (weeks 7-10). For example, you could connect ideas about race with those of AI or machine learning; or you could connect ideas about platforms with violence. Don’t worry: we will explain in class in week 12 what we mean by “connecting ideas.” It is important that you do your own research here to explore these connections. The material we cover in class, in lecture content and in readings, will offer you a good starting point only. It will be worthwhile revisiting the materials on the Communication Academic Literacy website and the library’s excellent guides on doing research and finding appropriate resources. The library also has excellent guides on academic writing and information and guides on how to reference correctly.
