You will lose at least a grade if you hand in an essay which does not show an essay plan. If your homework is handed in late (even by just a few seconds) or without a Self-assessment Sheet - you will be given a fail grade.

(3) IF YOUR ESSAY IS THIN and/or lacks depth and analysis YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO DO IT AGAIN. Plan a structured answer to the question - start early because the first draft is generally unacceptable.
