ESSAY OUTLINE
You can (it's not compulsory) send me an outline in point-form, of no more than one A4 page, of
what you would like to write and I will give you a feedback. This can help to avoid some
mistakes such as going off-topic or being too generic. If you want a feedback you need to send me
your outline before 22 April 2015 (I cannot guarantee a feedback if I receive it after that day).

The word count for your essay should be between 1300 and 1500 words, without counting your
name, the topic statement, the references.
