Your response should reflect your engagement with both individual and group learning, showing considered philosophical reflection of theory and applied ethics settings. It is important that you link the question to (some of) the theory covered within the relevant module. There are no right/ wrong answers; it is the quality of your argument we are interested in: how it is stated, how it is explained, and how it is justified.
Each response should be 250 words (word count for entire document is 1000 words). There is a 10% leeway on the entire submission (i.e. minimum word count = 900 words, maximum word count = 1100 words). Each question will be marked on its own merits, so you should not sacrifice the word count of 1 question, to allow a longer response on another question.
DO NOT provide an introduction nor conclusion to your submission. You should clearly indicate which question you are responding to using appropriate sub-headings (not included counted in the word count). You should respond to each question as succinctly as possible. You should use Formal Academic English. You are encouraged to make use of Studiosity and the Study Smart resources to ensure a well-written response.
