         <description><![CDATA[<div>In your final assessment for this course, you will write a short essay of 1000 words on the topic of obesity in pairs<strong>. </strong><br><br><strong>But first, </strong>before you begin writing<strong> </strong>you will need to conduct some secondary research to find out more about the topic and evidence for your assignment. <br><br>With your partner, you must find a minimum of four sources for the assignment. <br><br>Log onto the online library to begin your search: <a href="https://www.ed.ac.uk/information-services/library-museum-gallery">https://www.ed.ac.uk/information-services/library-museum-gallery</a><br>You may decide to use other methods in addition to the library. <br><br>As you search, you should take notes of the keywords you used to find sources and the additional sites you used. <br><br>Also think about:<br>1. How effective were the keywords and sites you used?<br>2. How relevant were the sources you found? <br>3. How reliable were the (additional) sites you used? <br>4. How did you reach a decision regarding which sources to continue reading and use in your essay? <br><br>There are two parts to this task: <br>A. In a<strong> Word file</strong>, you must write a reference list for your sources using Harvard referencing. <br>Read this guide for further information:<br><a href="https://www.ed.ac.uk/institute-academic-development/undergraduate/good-practice/referencing">https://www.ed.ac.uk/institute-academic-development/undergraduate/good-practice/referencing</a><br><br>B. In a <strong>Padlet post</strong>, you need to write about the process, your reflections on the process and share any relevant advice onto this Padlet. <br><br>Read two other Padlet posts and comment on your peers' research process and reference list. <br><br></div>]]></description>
