    So whats everyone doing for this?
    • What are human rights and how can they be justified? Briefly outline and discuss the concept of human rights and one justification for universal human rights.
    Im doing the above as it sounds by far the easiest, but is still tricky enough!

    100% essays = a lot of pressure!

    i'm doing this as an elective. I think the human rights ones are easier alright, but it coould be harder to get a decent mark on an easy essay. I'm doing the Iris Marion Young one. Good luck!

    All 2,500 words of it. In three years I think it was the first essay I've ever done that wasn't finished the day before it was due, I was pretty happy with myself :pac:

    its ten marks for a week or part of, twenty points for two weeks, no marks after two weeks. i think it works out as dropping two grade points, not sure. Its standard across the politics department for essays.
