Online submission to Moodle’s Turnitin
We will hold this writing assignment remotely for 8 hours on 30 November 2022 (Wednesday) at 12:30-8:30
pm. This will give you plenty of time to complete an assignment that normally takes about 2 hours to finish.
Please focus on ONE keyword and only pick ONE question and ONE image to answer.
This is an open-book writing assessment, so you can refer to your own notes, required and recommended
course readings (especially from Weeks 8-12), and lecture content and notes. However, you should NOT
quote from outside sources online (i.e. Wikipedia pages, online essays, etc.). Your essay must be
submitted online to Moodle’s Turnitin. Please ensure good internet connection at your own space.
