Rationale

To be able to identify a gap in the knowledge or devise innovative solutions to problems, you need to be up to date with the latest developments in your field of research/expertise. You need to be able to source information and critically evaluate their relevance and credibility. This item helps you gain deeper understanding in the topic of your research interest and update you with the latest development in your research field. As a result, you will be able to narrow down your research focus to a relevant and practical level.

Description

Along with your other team members, you will conduct a literature survey in order to identify credible sources of information relevant to your research topic. You will then carefully summarise and critique the relevant articles or prepare annotated biography.

Requirements

Based on the insights you gained from the former step, you will then write a critical literature review building a case for your research. Your literature review should lead the reader to your research question/thesis statement. Your paper should not exceed 2500 words including references, figures and tables (minimum 1800). A minimum of 15 credible, relevant and current references are required.
