Guidelines/Details of how
to prepare your
submission
Besides studying lecture material and attending seminars,
substantial work is anticipated outside of teaching hours,
including independent research and reading, as well as
reflection on your personal development throughout the
module.
For question 1 (main essay): You must use both academic
references and real life examples to support your arguments.
For question 2 (reflection piece): This is about your personal
experience, with critical reflection on your learning and
development through the module (e.g. from lectures, seminars,
theoretical content, real life examples, teamwork, guest
speakers, assessment, etc.). It is helpful to reflect on how you
have applied or will use learning from the module going
forward. The reflection piece can be written in the first person,
and can use both academic references and real life examples
where applicable.

Three key pieces of advice
based on the Feedback
given to the previous
cohort that completed this
assignment
Ability to integrate theory and practice is crucial. For instance:
o In distinguishing between social enterprise and business
enterprise, you need to critically highlight differences as
well as similarities, using real life examples of both
types of enterprises to illustrate your points.
o In assessing whether or not profit maximisation may
dilute the ideology of social entrepreneurship, please
use real life examples to demonstrate different
perspectives and sides of the argument.
Ensure that you balance word count. For instance:
o Question 1 carries 2,000 words which need to be
balanced between the first part and second part of this
question. Students often make the mistake of using
much of the word count to “distinguish between social
and business enterprise”, leaving little room to
“critically assess whether it is possible for social
entrepreneurs to seek profit maximisation without
diluting the ideology of social entrepreneurship”.
o Question 2 carries 500 words for critical reflection.
Your opinion matters! Critical evaluation of literature/evidence
is needed to justify your arguments.
