Assignment 2 Literature Review

Description:

Building on from your first assessment task, you are now tasked with developing a literature review. A literature review is a powerful and important piece of work and one of the most used pieces of academic writing that you will use in your life beyond university. The aim of a literature review is to provide an analysis on the body of literature on your chosen topic. It is not an extended bibliography. A literature review requires analytic skills to be able to identify similarities and differences among scholars’ work, as well as identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the methods and findings. A literature review synthesises literature together and explains it to an unfamiliar reader. It is here where you make informed assessments about the quality and strengths of the claims researchers are making Time will be spent in class, and resources made available on Canvas, to help you develop the skills necessary for this. There needs to be a minimum of 8 sources used.
