I have already started the essay on a word file so maybe use the beginning from me and keep writing from there:
Here’s the link, there’s also more information about the essay inside the document.
1- Difference between report and essay
No table of content or headings and subheadings
Put figures (graphs diagrams) in appendix and refer to them
Minimum of 10 sentence lines and maximum of 13 sentences lines (smaller sentences is chat gpt) and too many is nonsense
2- Formatting
Cntrl + A highlights the whole text
Font type ALWAYS ( Times new Roman) (Calibri) (Arial)
Font size ALWAYS (12)
Alignment cntrl + j pick the option with the straight same sized lines (4th option)
Line spacing 1:5 or 2 ( the option with the 3 lines and the arrow going up and another going down)
Margin setting 2.3
3- Essay
Utilize other graphs
Oligopoly – examine a country and decide if it’s competitive or collusive with evidence of government intervention
Pick companies with the same industry so it’s easier
Don’t focus more on the oligarchs and more on the company itself
Diagrams MUST be used (demand function etc) diagrams in the slides and class and apply to explain what’s happening maybe 3
If you create your own you source it (Source: Authors own)
Moodle diagrams don’t need citation (just copy the citation from the slide or the main textbook ) assume it is from the main textbook
Minimum of 5 maximum of 10 but if needed you can do more (the more the better)
Introduction
Is mini outline of the main text
Define oligopoly (how can they be collusive or competitive)small explanations
All definitions from book and journals (no website)
What is the essay about (purpose)
Data can be from websites (World bank etc) and from other languages
Introduce the country (small information) and the industry
Menus the market share of the companies and their combined revenue
Paraphrase a lot or quotations(“direct quotes”) and citations so you don’t get high similarity
Each paragraph should make a different point
Don’t use quotes for your own points and explanations
Better to draw yourself the graphs (demand curve
When drawing the mandatory graphs you cite the textbook and source it (Source: adapted from
Gillespie(2019) <- main textbook
When using et al ALWAYS put . After (et al. , 2019)
Mention which of the companies is the biggest
Mention trading blocks and sanctions and government intervention
Don’t need to be from 2010-2020 use more recent ones from 2024
5 paragraphs (1 introduction 3 main body 1 conclusion)
