Your essay must be an individually produced original work. You must, in all parts of your essay, clearly distinguish your own reflections, speculations, and arguments, from summaries of what others have said. If you read something elsewhere (eg in a book or on the internet) and then reproduce the same information in other words, you must still explicitly refer to the source of origin. If you reproduce the information in the same word, you must quote using quotation marks. All essays are run through a sophisticated plagiarism control system called Ouriginal. You are free to write about which topic as long as it in some way relates to something we have discussed in the course. Below are some topic suggestions whose related questions should be seen as suggestions for discussions rather than questions that need to be answered. The important thing is that you present the goals that are listed in the correction matrix at the same time as you discuss the given topic. Also note that the reading instructions given under each topic should only be seen as an entry. To write a good essay, you may need to use additional or completely different references.
