Assignment 1
Article Review and Reflection of 2,500 words (50% of module marks)
Hand in date as stated in module handbook
Rationale
This assessment is designed to give you a first attempt at reading, digesting and being critical of academic literature; in the style expected for your final year honours project (dissertation or independent study).
Brief
In your respective tutorial groups you will be considering research topics that are potentially researchable in your final year. Within each TOPIC area a selection of respected JOURNALS will be recommended (check the guide in ebridge). Have a look at some editions of these journals and SELECT ONE ARTICLE. Using ONE ARTICLE ONLY from ONE JOURNAL on your topic, address the following tasks and note their respective assessment weighting:
50% A description of the paper using the categories Concept, Support, Methods, Limitations
25% A discussion of how the paper informs the broader TOPIC you have chosen in your tutorial sessions. Note that EACH JOURNAL you are able to choose from is already allocated to a TOPIC
25% Compare and contrast the applicability of the Research Approach taken in the paper to the type of activity you are likely to undertake after level 5 (this may include: your plans for a year in industry, a year abroad, a dissertation, an investigative study, AND ALSO your future as an entrepreneur, post-graduate student, private or public sector manager, etc.) I.E. is the approach useful; interesting, applicable in your future place of work or study?
