11.Academic integrity measures
The University recommends the taking of additional measures to combat the rising incidence of academic dishonesty.  For the research essay, a measure that imposes a minimal burden on you is to submit early drafts of your essay, to show that the essay is indeed your own work. 
once you have written around 1500 words
and again once you have written around 3000 words.
The drafts will be immediately downloaded into a separate file so anonymity is preserved.

Choose one of the following questions:

1.    The Montevideo criteria are an anachronism and irrelevant to the achievement of statehood.  Do you agree?

2.    Are the rules on attribution in the International Law Commissions 2001 Articles on State Responsibility appropriate in the 21st century?

3.    Should there be any conditions or restrictions on a states right to exercise jurisdiction in civil (as opposed to criminal) matters?

4.    In the teaching and practice of international law, article 59 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice seems to be ignored completely.  Is this justified?

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Structure
As well as the usual introduction, body of essay and conclusion, please include:
the essay title
a table of contents this need not list page numbers or be hyperlinked we just need to see what headings and subheadings have been used
a bibliography, and
page numbers
Please do NOT include an abstract an abstract might be appropriate for journal articles, but not essays

5.Content
As explained in class, what we look for in any essay are two things: (1) evidence that you understand the law, and the issues involved and (2) your own opinion or analysis of the law or the issues.  What you must avoid is writing an essay that is largely descriptive of the law; all that tests is your ability to copy from a textbook.
6.References plagiarism
As a general rule, you should insert a footnote with a reference in it for everything you say, unless it is your own opinion:
This means you might need to include a footnote for every sentence
The golden rule is that for every sentence you write, the reader knows:
oIs this your own opinion, or
oIs it someone elses opinion or work, in which case whose, and where can it be found?7.References pinpoint
a.You must not refer to any source unless you include in your footnote the exact page, or paragraph, you are relying on this is called pinpoint citation
we will deduct one mark for every reference that should, but does not, include a pinpoint citation
b.You must include full citations, in accordance with AGLC4
c.The reason why we include references in our written work is to direct the reader to the exact source of the statement we are making, or the source of our argument
So a reference which does not include the actual page or paragraph number of the source being relied on is completely useless to the reader

8.References general
a.You must refer to English-language sources only no referring to literature published in a foreign language, even if you provide a translation
b.Do not cite the lecturer or the class slides
c.Do NOT cite sources you find on the internet search the library databases for peer-reviewed journals and books written by highly-qualified authors 
If you do find sources outside those databases, you should cite the source properly, not just the URL where you found the source
d.You must not cite any source unless you have read it yourself
we may ask you to produce your sources, and reserve the right to deduct marks if it is clear that sources have been cited without having been read
e.If you quote a work which in turn cites other work, one option is to omit those further references and add at the end of the quotation, (citations omitted)..
