(900 words is fine) By this point in the process, your academic piece of writing should definitely: ~ Have a tentative title ~ Have an argument (a main idea, question to answer, claim to make, etc.) that is clear, specific, and well-articulated ~ Have at least 3 academic sources (including the source from the previous assessment) that you refer to, quote from, and discuss. These MUST be properly cited. ~ Have the beginnings of a structure that is relevant to your field (e.g. scientific report, longform article, research essay, legal opinion, etc.) – My field is linguistics ~ A bibliography (only include references that you have used in your essay) It is essential that the below source is included: CERRUTI, MASSIMO, and RICCARDO REGIS.
