Assessment 2 LJU4801 Instructions
1. Proper footnote referencing must be used. This entails that every
argument or idea taken from another source, or any piece of information utilised
from another source, needs to be provided with a separate footnote reference.
2. Long quotes from sources are not allowed. Students must summarise
arguments and ideas from sources in their own words. Short quotes must be
provided with quotation marks and with a corresponding footnote.
3. When answering questions, students are expected to make use of the
study guide as well as any other relevant source to the question. The study
guide must be referenced like any other source.
4. Use proper language and grammar and make use of full sentences. You
must not write using bullets and numbering. Rather you need to provide a
narrative consisting of a coherent, logical, and consistent argument.
NB!!!!!!!! No marks will be awarded for plagiarised work. You should only include in
your bibliography the sources that were actually consulted. The students have
been cautioned before for inaccurate citation. There is a tendency among the
students to cite the sources that have been referred to in the prescribed study
material (e.g. Study Guide) even though they did not consult them. If you are
unable to access a primary source you must make it clear in footnotes that the
information has been obtained from a secondary source (for example, Mary Joe
Frug as cited/discussed (choose whichever is applicable) in Irma J Kroeze, Legal
Philosophy Study Guide (University of South Africa, 2017) 135.
