Engagion Australia and the Asia-Pacific

QUESTION:

What is Australia’s relationship to the Asia-Pacific region?

Task Description: You are required to provide a position statement of 500 words on the question: What is Australia’s relationship to the Asia-Pacific region?

Your statement should focus specifically on Australia’s  First Peoples. This is an early assessment item that requires you to start work immediately.

• Word limit: 500 words (+/-10%).

• References ARE NOT included in word limit

Criteria & Marking:

The aim of this exercise is to develop a short critical statement that outlines your position on the question. This requires you to develop an argument that is supported by evidence (references). Given the short length of the assignment, evidence will need to be presented in summary form.

You can consult a range of sources, including the information supplied in the first three modules, other academic books and articles, business reports and analyses, longer media articles (from news and magazine websites etc), and government reports and speeches.

You do NOT need to use ALL of these types of sources in your statement. You may also briefly discuss relevant personal experiences in your statement. The minimum expectation would be for your assignment to contain at least four sources, but you should go beyond this minimum and achieving higher grades will require you to do so.

At least one of these sources must be an academic source – refereed journal article or academic book. All evidence presented must be referenced properly referenced using APA, MLA, in-text referencing (author-date or Harvard) system or footnoting system; all forms require a reference list at the end. The most important factor in referencing is to be consistent. Tips for success
