Project description
Critical Evaluation
These are the texts for the first summative assessment. Students should select one text and write a short 3000-word essay (with a 10% leeway; non-discursive footnotes do not count towards the word limit; and there is no need for a bibliography in this assessment) critically evaluating the argument(s) advanced therein.
