Preparation and planning notes for a group summative presentation given in one of the seminars for this course. Notes on reading and a rough plan detailing a script for the actual presentation. The instructions were to use theory taught in the course, and then include a case study found independently. The notes are on readings that are on the readings list, but also on literature that supplements the course and its reading list.

Notes on literature planning an essay discussing whether or not migrant's religion eased or hindered their integration into western host societies. The document plans an essay (also available) that compares and contrasts this phenomenon in the United States and in western Europe. It also includes many of the seminar readings for the essential reading list of the course.

1,500 word formative essay - received very good feedback and is fully written, proofread and edited. About whether religion helps migrants to the west integrate within host societies or not. This essay features a comparison between the effect of religion of migrants in the US, and that of migrants to western Europe.

Planned a past-paper question for this course's exam, which was about religion and migration. The exercise was to draft out the introduction and conclusion, so these are written; but the body is still in plan form. I presented this during the seminar and received feedback from the lecturer, which is also written in this document. Additionally, there are also tips for success in the exam, so that would be helpful for the course, but also for general sociology online exams at LSE.
