-The essay does not need a cover page, just the title of the essay, name and group of the student
— The essay should be no less than 1500 words and no more than 2000 words (excluding bibliography & appendices)
— File format: MS WORD, 1.5 spacing, 12 font Times New Romain, standard margins.
— Zero tolerance for plagiarism: the essay must be of an independent character, i.e. there are no incorrect borrowings in the text (including from colleagues in the group). If plagiarism is detected in the essay, regardless of the total volume of borrowings, this constitutes grounds for assigning an «unsatisfactory» mark for this element of interim control.
