I would like this essay written to a UK university standard first level. Meaning the highest mark. This therefore means the essay must entail the following in order to meet that criteria :
Persuasive answer to the question, skilfully supported by evidence
Extensive and detailed knowledge of relevant topics and sources
Critical understanding of relevant sources, theories, methods and/or debates
Very good presentation, including engaging writing style, logical organisation, and accurate referencing
Excluding footnotes the word count is 1500 it must not be over the wound count otherwise a high mark wont be achievable. This is the recommended style
A citation style is a system for formatting references, whether in the main text of an essay, in the footnotes, or in the bibliography. It covers such things as the order of information in the citation style, the length of the citation, and the use of capitalisation and italics.
A common style used in the humanities is known as the MHRA style, so-called because it is administered by the Modern Humanities Research Association, a scholarly association based in the UK. Below are some examples of citations formatted in the MHRA style.
A book:
Tom McArthur, Worlds of Reference: Lexicography, Learning and Language from the Clay Tablet to the Computer (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1986), p. 59.
A chapter in an edited book:
Martin Elsky, ‘Words, Things, and Names: Jonson’s Poetry and Philosophical Grammar’, in Classic and Cavalier: Essays on Jonson and the Sons of Ben, ed. by Claude J. Summers and Ted-Larry Pebworth (Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 1982), pp. 31–55 (p. 41).
Harvard and Chicago are also possible but this is preferred. I would like the essay to define Marxism and historical determinism in the introduction and throughout the essay refer to thinkers associated with the historical theories and there schools of thought. I want the essay to be detailed and supported with quotations and there relevance to each historical argument and theory presented. I would also like the essay to include at least 5 of the following sources :
