Tips
Choose a topic you are interested in. And think before you start what you want to say about it.
Make sure you have developed a single argument (usually a long sentence)
State your argument in the introduction
Each paragraph needs a topic sentence, that relates back to the overall argument
Make sure to investigate your topic in technology or environment using academic sources
You can use some news and websites, but only for news items. These must be supported with academic research
Push your analytical skills. Use your concept to analyse the issues in your chosen topic.
Cite all the material you use: empirical and theoretical
Use the PIR Red Book for the correct citation method
Leave time for editing and proofreading and double checking your bibliography
