The essay will be judged on the quality of your understanding of your chosen topic and discussion of the historiography.

Avoid the internet as a secondary source (it can be useful for preliminary research but look up the references and use them instead). The library has a small collection of books and journals but does has access to many more online. Use JSTOR to find scholarly articles. Primary sources can be harder to find and you may need to use an online version. This is fine but be careful that it is from a reliable source.Referencing: you should use MLA Style (parenthetical) referencing.For more information on Concept of Arête read this:
