Assessment Title
Literature review and methodology
Core Task
For this written submission you are asked to complete a literature review of academic and industry literature relevant to the question you proposed in assignment 1 for this module. The literature review should demonstrate your awareness of your field of study and the current debates in your discipline, and a critical understanding of the key theoretical frameworks you are dealing with. Following the review of the existing academic and industry literature you will propose a methodology for a research project that would enable you to answer your question. You will need to consider research ethics/ risk assessments as relevant to your specific study.
Your written submission will include:
1) A literature review (approx. 2,000 words).
2) A proposed methodology which includes a justification of the approach (including strengths and weaknesses), explanation of how it builds on or is linked to existing studies in your area, and a discussion of all relevant ethical/risk assessment considerations (approx. 500 words).
The completed work should be attached to the coversheet and presented in word format (.doc or .docx). Submission is via the Moodle.
2500 words (+/- 10%)

We will launch this assessment live in the class, where you can ask questions about the task, and extra guidance will be found on Moodle. Please also see the module leader for a tutorial to discuss your ideas before submission – they have weekly office hours you can book into.
