Note: the reassessment work may be different.

NOTE: Coursework代写

The module aims to provide you with a foundation for academic research skills employed in all modules, but particularly the master’s dissertation. This will enhance your learning experience providing a research output which is both industrially relevant and contributes academic value to the research base of your chosen field / industry.

This assessment enables you to demonstrate effective delivery of your research findings in the form of a Literature Review.

The module is assessed as follows:

Literature Review                 75%        Course work

Academic Poster Presentation     25%        In person

1. Evaluate the conceptual nature of research philosophies & methods.

2. Appraise existing literature to develop a literature review using appropriate research methods & techniques.

4. Make critical judgements on the applicability of appropriate professional skills and research ethics, within a given research context.

Title: Individual literature review

Type: Coursework

Style: Individual report

Rationale:

The delivery and assessment of this module will involve researching, presenting and writing of a literature review, demonstrating critique, author analysis and evidence of academic underpinning.

You are to consider a topic within a subject area or choose from a suggested list, and critically evaluate, applying appropriate research methods in the development of a literature review and a supporting academic poster.

Description:

You will need to present the development and findings of the literature review by means of an academic poster presentation and then a report.

A formative PowerPoint presentation (on topic & findings so far) would be given by you prior to the poster presentation.  Similar to the literature review report, the poster should be designed with intention of presenting to subject matter experts in the field, such as conference proceedings.

The final piece of work written as a literature review, must demonstrate an understanding of research philosophies and methods used by the most important references detailing the contributions of major authors, noting arguments and contestations. This should also be written to the standard requirements of international journals appropriate to the chosen research topic.

Assessment (75%): Individual Literature Review (L.Os. 1, 2 & 4) 

You are to consider a topic within your subject area or choose from the list below, and critically evaluate, applying appropriate research methods in the development of a literature review. You must demonstrate an understanding of research philosophies and methods

used by your most important references and a demonstration of how these contributed to your final piece of work.

This must include:

· at least eight pieces of peer-reviewed literature – such as journals

· three industry publications and

· three articles/pieces from either books, newspapers,  magazines or credible web based sources

You are to perform a critical evaluation of the underpinning theories used and compile a literature review in the form of an academic research paper (max 2500 words). Should you choose or select a topic from the list below, you may have an opportunity, subject to agreement and negotiation, to contribute to the school’s research output in the form of co-authorship of papers, conferences and publications. Also, you may be able to discuss your topic with a subject matter expert in the school – once agreed by them. (This literature review may form the basis for your dissertation and the subject matter expert may be your future supervisor / second marker).

The Literature Review: A Few Tips On Conducting It : from University of Toronto Coursework代写

Ask yourself questions like these about each book or article you include:

· Has the author formulated a problem/issue?

· Is it clearly defined? Is its significance (scope, severity, relevance) clearly established?

· Could the problem have been approached more effectively from another perspective?

· What is the author’s research orientation (e.g., interpretive, critical science, combination)?

· What is the author’s theoretical framework (e.g., psychological, developmental, feminist)?

· What is the relationship between the theoretical and research perspectives?

· Has the author evaluated the literature relevant to the problem/issue? Does the author include literature taking positions she or he does not agree with?

· In a research study, how good are the basic components of the study design (e.g., population, intervention, outcome)? How accurate and valid are the measurements? Is the analysis of the data accurate and relevant to the research question? Are the conclusions validly based upon the data and analysis?

· In material written for a popular readership, does the author use appeals to emotion, one-sided examples, or rhetorically-charged language and tone? Is there an objective basis to the reasoning, or is the author merely “proving” what he or she already believes?

· How does the author structure the argument? Can you “deconstruct” the flow of the argument to see whether or where it breaks down logically (e.g., in establishing cause-effect relationships)?

· In what ways does this book or article contribute to our understanding of the problem under study, and in what ways is it useful for practice? What are the strengths and limitations?

· How does this book or article relate to the specific thesis or question I am developing?

This assessment is equivalent to 3000 words and a typical student would be expected to take 30 hours to pass this assessment.

Transferable skills:  Coursework代写

This module enables students to:

· develop and enhance presentation and communication skills

· problem solve using academic language and academic underpinning

· develop critical analysis skills

· become a subject matter expert in the chosen field

· be able to effectively present and report on findings from an academic standpoint – argue and debate appropriately

· apply skills and knowledge to other modules and the dissertation

The literature review can be considered for further development into the master’s dissertation – subject to discussions with potential supervisors.

Format:

Work will be submitted on Moodle using Microsoft Office files. The documents will be uploaded using Word and PowerPoint ONLY.

· The minimum pass mark for a module is 50%

· Re-sit marks are capped at 50%

Full academic regulations are available for download using the link provided above in the IMPORTANT STATEMENTS section 

For IET accredited courses ONLY (MSc Mechanical Engineering and MSc Automotive Engineering)

· For modules with multiple items of assessment, you must achieve a minimum of 40% in each item of assessment in order to pass the module.

e.g. assessment 1 – coursework 50% and assessment 2 – Exam 50%,

You must achieve an aggregate mark of 50% WITH every single assessment having a minimum mark of 40% or greater. For example if you achieved 90% in example assessment 1 and 20% in example assessment 2, the aggregate would be over 50% ((90+20)/2 = 55%), however you will still fail the module due to the 40% qualifying rule.

Late Penalties Coursework代写

If you submit an assessment late at the first attempt then you will be subject to one of the following penalties:

· if the submission is made between 1 and 24 hours after the published deadline the original mark awarded will be reduced by 5%. For example, a mark of 60% will be reduced by 3% so that the mark that the student will receive is 57%. ;

· if the submission is made between 24 hours and one week (5 working days) after the published deadline the original mark awarded will be reduced by 10%. For example, a mark of 60% will be reduced by 6% so that the mark the student will receive is 54%.

· if the submission is made after 5 days following the deadline, your work will be deemed as a fail and returned to you unmarked.

The reduction in the mark will not be applied in the following two cases:

· the mark is below the pass mark for the assessment. In this case the mark achieved by the student will stand

· where a deduction will reduce the mark from a pass to a fail. In this case the mark awarded will be the threshold (i.e. 50%)

Please note:

· If you submit a re-assessment late then it will be deemed as a fail and returned to you unmarked.
