Difficulty depends on your experience, interests, teaching and assessment. These are our reflection prompts, not an official difficulty rating.
- Try explaining a case, source or argument with evidence. Does this type of writing interest you?
- Look at the amount of terminology, examples and source material in the sample rather than assuming the subject is easy.
Does it scale up or down?
