Advice !
This is a challenging assignment, in that it requires reflection on the material presented in the module and its relevance to guiding practice. There are no right or wrong answers, and this is an opportunity for reflection and imaginative thinking. However, you should present clear and convincing explanations of the importance of the issues you identify.
You will be assessed primarily on the logic of your argument, the appropriateness of the issues you include, and the quality of the accompanying evaluation of the significance of these issues. Good answers will present a coherent, integrated perspective of the issues you cover rather than simply identifying a set of independent issues. You do not need to cover all of the material provided within the lectures. The question allows you to focus on specific issues or to attempt a more general overview if you wish.
