The word count includes in-text citations, but does not include the reference list. Weighting: 30% Learning Outcomes: 1 – 5 Description of Task: You are required to write a short critical response on one of the Workshop Questions from Weeks 6 to 10 that are marked with an asterisk (*). If you want to choose a question outside of these weeks you must obtain approval from the course convenor. The task requires you to: i. Choose ONE workshop question from weeks 6-10 marked with an asterisk. If you submit an assignment on a question without an asterisk you will have to resubmit. ii. Develop a short critical response to your chosen question. You should focus on developing a critical response to the question (i.e. develop an argument and provide some summary evidence). iii. Include a minimum of FOUR (4) scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles to support the arguments presented in your response. Do not use website materials (including dictionaries, encyclopaedias, business magazines available online, and blog posts) as these are not scholarly, peer reviewed sources and should be avoided in academic writing. What is a critical response? A critical response goes beyond simple summary and description. It requires critical thought and engagement with current literature on the topic in order to develop a clear and logical ‘academic argument.’ You will need to choose a workshop question from weeks 1-5, review current theory and research on the topic and develop a critical response. It is recommended that you use the Griffith library catalogue to access scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles. You may also find Google Scholar useful and draw from the list of recommended articles below. 1003GIR GLOBALISATION THE ASIA PACIFIC AND AUSTRALIA Workshop Questions from weeks 6-10: 1.

Title: The title should be the workshop question you have chosen. You may structure your critical response as you would an essay with an introduction, body and conclusion or you may come up with a different structure. Either way, the piece must be logically structured and develop an argument. Word Count: Provide the assignment word count just below the conclusion. References (The reference list is not included in word count) Provide a reference list consistent with APA 7th edition or Harvard style. This is NOT a bibliography. Do not cite material that you have read, but have not referred to in the body of your work. Ensure sources are cited in-text and in the reference list. Failure to do so can constitute plagiarism. Use ‘References’ as a subheading. Additional Instructions Academic Integrity Plagiarism in assignments is detected using software that highlights text, which is similar or identical to another source. Developing your skills in paraphrasing and integrating information from multiple sources is key to avoiding unintentional plagiarism. Changing a few words or rearranging sentences does not ‘hide’ plagiarism from the software, which still highlights the similar parts of the sentence. Students who breach the Griffith University’s policy on academic integrity will be reported to the Academic Integrity Management System. Examples of a breach of academic integrity are: Paraphrasing a paper from a source text, whether in manuscript, printed or electronic form, without appropriate acknowledgement; and Word for word copying, cutting or pasting statements from a single source or multiple sources or piecing together work of others and representing them as original work 1003GIR GLOBALISATION THE ASIA PACIFIC AND AUSTRALIA For more information: https://www.griffith.edu.au/academic-integrity Referencing Requirements This assignment requires a high standard of compliance to one of the advised referencing styles. Referencing must be consistent with the Griffith University Referencing Style Guide. For Harvard, see: https://www.griffith.edu.au/library/study/referencing/agps harvard. For APA, see: https://www.griffith.edu.au/library/study/referencing/apa-7. Referencing Tips The reference list will begin on a new page and have the heading ‘References’. Make sure to continue to use Times New Roman (size 12) font and double spacing in the entire document (this includes the reference list). References in the reference list should not be numbered. References in the reference list need to be in strict alphabetical order by first author surname. References in the reference list should be formatted with a hanging indent (1 cm) the examples below. Check the referencing guide for how to reference one, two or multiple authors the first time the reference is used, and how to use the same reference in subsequent citations. All referencing (including in-text referencing) must be consistent with ONE style (i.e. do not mix and match APA and Harvard referencing).
