Will it matter if we don't use references?

"It does not require significant knowledge of economic theory, nor extensive use of other references". My tutor said that the main point of the assignment was to test your critical reading skills and writing skills as well.

It apparently is up to your marker to decide the importance of references.
I'm not exactly up to date atm: too much shite on in my life.
I'm trying to catch up now.
I'm nearly up to date with ecmt. Waaay behind in marketing (but i understand everything that's being taught). And haven't even started revising for industrial relations.

I really hope I'm doing this correctly. I've managed to show how much the writer of the article bullshits in it using factual references. He also, in my oppinion doesn't prove anything just makes lots of assumptions.

I'm hoping my critical analysis of it isn't too analytical. I'm assuming they expect most of us to agree with what is said, but I'm agreeing but taking his arguments to another level by proving and disproving certian things he said.

I'm hoping for at least 8/10 on this essay, but I've got a feeling its not that great.

I'm finding it surprisingly difficult. Have been doing it for about 4 hours now

sounds like youre doing an excellent job cosyoure being critical, critical thinking is the key for this one. im worried i wasnt critical enough, or at least not detailed enough in my criticisms

you're always critical.
Like today in ir: "This is boring". And you were handing in your ecop thing later that day, so I'm sure it absorbed that criticism.

Furthermore, you made the best call today:
"I changed my ture. Now I've got a hard one"

hehehhehe hard one. penis.

correct grace :)

Besides they are asking you my views about the arguments put by the author. If i disagree with them I can't exactly lose marks.
You don't have to agree with everything if you can back it up with evidence.
Well, I would think that the subject would be pointless and bland if everyone just agrees as well. I've heard of famous right vs left wing battles in tutes. I'm finding ecop slightly skewed left. I doubt the right wingers will fail this task as they have no 'social conscience'.
Anyway i dont even know what im rambling about. way too tired. just finished revising for my ind relations tute tomorrow. havent read the reading but skimmed the text book.
I hate time constraints.
