2) Assign yourself to an essay group/topic via the link
(https://canvas.auckland.ac.nz/courses/105153/groups#tab-21347). Assign yourself into the

Use the first two lines to write your name, your ID, Lecture name and essay title. If the topic

Additional instructions may be given with the essay topic, e.g. provide a diagram or flow
