Assessment Task:

Students will submit a literature review for their chosen project

Your review should be shaped by your argument and should

seek to establish your theoretical orientation, along with your

methodological choices. Your review needs to conclude with

what you have demonstrated as a ‘need for research’ in the area.

This literature review needs to be organized with sub-headers in

a meaningful manner based on your topic. The language used in

a literature review is often evaluative and demonstrates your

perspectives of the literature in relation to your question. Your

'voice' or your perspective, position or standpoint, should be

identifiable in the literature review.

It is important that, firstly, your theoretical position is clearly and

strongly stated and that your critical evaluations are an integral

part of this. Secondly, it important that your language indicates

your own or other writers’ attitudes to the question or issue. The

literature review always ends with a research question.
