Assignment instructions
The following is a suggested literature review format.
A title
page: Includes title of literature review
Abstract :
This should contain the aim of the literature review a brief background
summary, brief details of the investigation or research you have undertaken,
the major findings or key issues arising, and any recommendations if these are
appropriate.
An
introduction: In a literature review your introduction needs to
identify the purpose of the research and the terms of reference or framework in
which you are working. This section should also set the scene by discussing the
significance of the area under investigation and map out the remainder of the literature
review for the reader.
The main
body with relevant headings and sub-headings identifying
the key themes, issues and topics and discussion of each of these. Headings
should be kept simple and the content should be able to be read without these.
Your Literature Review SHOULD BE REFERENCED TO SUPPORT YOUR ARGUMENTS AND
ANALYSIS.
A
conclusion: This section should be written in your words and must
pull together the key points you have discussed and identify future directions
(i.e. ‘where to from here). It should not introduce new material.
A
reference list: APA 7th edition
Resources
Prescribed Textbook
and only scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles (since the year 2010) must be
consulted.
Please note, whilst
your textbook is a useful starting point for this assignment, it is expected
that you will conduct significant research prior to writing the review.
A few
considerations:
·
Before
you start, ensure that you have carefully read through the assigned topic and
understood what is being asked. Any questions should be directed to your
lecturer/tutor.
·
You will
be provided with additional information about the assignment topics during the
semester. It is important to start exploring the subject material of the
assignment well before the due date.
·
All
references cited in the body of your paper should be listed in full at the end
of the assignment. You should not have any source material in your reference
list which is not included within the text of the assignment. Valuable marks are thrown away by not
taking enough care with referencing.
