Write a critical literature review of the chosen topic and identify the key emerging issues.

This assignment entails examining a range of relevant academic and practitioner sources to identify different perspectives on the chosen topic.

Your work will be assessed in terms of three key criteria (for a detailed description of the criteria, please see the assessment feedback grid provided in the Module Handbook):

1) Focus on question;

2) Depth of knowledge; and

3) Written quality. 

A good literature review evaluates rather than simply reproduces existing arguments. Do not make unsubstantiated generalisations and do not rely simply on describing and/or listing a series of disparate points from different sources.

Not every source will be of equal worth. You need to show that you have used your sources selectively to develop a well-informed and balanced assessment of the key debates and issues within the literature on the chosen topic. Use the Harvard referencing system.

Pay attention to presentation and layout. Keep it simple. Use sub-headings where appropriate to guide the reader through your work. If you need help with this arrange to see someone at the BLASC desk in the library.
