You are free to write about anything you wish, as long as you integrate the following: It is critical that you argue clearly, support your arguments, and present justifications, e.g., for suggested extensions of the present research.

Your papers will be “scanned” by a software checking for plagiarism. You can find the essays inside of the corresponding week’s module under Assignments.
