Completion option 3
Available only for SAFER-students. An essay is an extended piece of (academic) writing on a particular topic or theme that you carefully analyze. After you have assigned yourself to the completion option in SISU, you must always be in contact with the responsible teacher of the study unit before starting to write the essay (via email). With the responsible teacher you should discuss and agree on the theme and scope of the essay, the book(s) it will compensate for, and its length. Furthermore, the examiner must approve the bibliography before you can start writing. Citations, references and the bibliography need to be marked and listed in accordance with good scientific practice (see further instructions from the Politics’ Guide to Writing Academic Papers). You can find the Guide to Writing Academic Papers from the following link: https://content-webapi.tuni.fi/proxy/public/2019-09/pol_guide_to_writing_academic_papers_2019_0.pdf (detailed instructions for writing essays on page 7).
