Subject:
Internet meets society
Essay question:
Through the Internet, information is networked, people are networked, and people and machines are networked. In your view, what are the most significant implications of this networking?
How do I get a good mark?
Demonstrate wider reading (incorporating that reading as references) and critical reflection on the issues under question, and produce an essay that makes an argument that is compelling.
The essay will be marked with a particular emphasis on (indicative weighting given as percentage):
Content: including rigour and extent of argument, use of references (50%)
Organisation: including coherence, clarity of argument (30%)
Presentation: including expression, grammar, spelling (20%)
You can use more than 5 sources, I think 5-10 would be fine.
Example of articles that you maybe can use:
