Literature Review Project Introduction
The literature review project is the largest assignment in the course that is divided into 3 parts to make it more manageable and give opportunity for more feedback and adjustments along the way. The three components (all graded) are:
Research proposal
First draft of report
Final copy of the literature review (cannot be submitted without the research proposal being submitted previously)
Research Project Proposal (5% of the course grade)
The research project proposal will be submitted through filling out a form on Moodle that will guide you through the information necessary. You will be able to reopen the form as many times as you’d like before the submission deadline while working on the proposal.
To start working on the assignment, you need to take the following steps:
1) Choose a topic for your literature review project. A literature review provides a summary and analysis of texts of various kinds about a specific issue or topic. For this assignment, you need to choose a topic that was in the news and online/offline discussions within the past 6 months. The issue needs to be significant and controversial, so that there would be multiple viewpoints on it coming from various sources. The topic would preferably be related to Canada, Alberta, Edmonton or NAIT. A topic that is relevant to you as a student would work well but remember that this is not an opinion piece but a review of the opinions others have on the topic. You have to choose a topic that is both controversial and narrow enough, so that you can compare texts about the topic, but also substantial enough to have attracted plenty of attention, opinion, and analysis in magazines, newspapers, and hopefully some academic journals. You will also need to get my approval of the topic, which is the purpose of the research project proposal exercise. I will not approve broad topics with non-descriptive titles like “abortion,” “discrimination” (unless applied to a specific incident), “suicide,” “governance,” etc. Formulate an interesting and specific topic – do not hesitate to bounce some ideas off in an email to me prior to submitting the proposal. Once you have a topic, please post it in the Topic Selection forum to receive feedback and/or approval from the instructor. Everyone will have a unique topic.
2) Once you have chosen your topic, do a library and online resources search for relevant sources. The can be articles, videos, blog posts, social media posts, websites, and other texts. Ensure that you find at least 10 diverse sources to note in your research proposal (you will be reading them in depth later in the term, but for the proposal, you would need proper APA references for each source). Of the 10 sources:
no more than 3 can be dated older than 6 months ago but no older than 3 years ago (these would provide a background for the issue, for example),
no more than 2 can be videos (if a video is used, ensure it has text either shown or spoken in it),
no more than 1 can be in a language other than English,
at least 3 need to originate from Canada.
For your final report, you will read 15 or more sources. Note that you do not have to use all of the source you put into your research proposal while writing the final report. If you are unsure about any of the sources, feel free to send me a quick email.
3) Once you have established that there are enough sources on your topic, think about the structure and overall content of your future report. Your research paper will categorize and summarize the important themes and perspectives that appear in these texts. It will also discuss the techniques that the different authors use to present their arguments and convince their audience. The final report will be around 15 pages long. Think about the following questions:
Why is this an interesting and significant topic?
How does it relate to current concerns?
What are you hoping to achieve for yourself (in terms of improving your writing and critical thinking skills) when you write the paper?
How will you approach the topic, and what is your plan/timeline for completing your formal report? Be realistic about how much time you will spend on each phase (planning, research, first draft, revisions, final version).
What resources are you planning to use? Be specific about the details, e.g. the library databases that you will be searching, relevant web resources and search terms. You should review Kent Lewis’s chapter introductions to the chapters on “Questions” and on “Argument” before determining your topic, since the Literature Review has a strong focus on analysis of argument or persuasive writing.
What assistance or guidance will you need from me as you are going through the report-writing process?
The form on Moodle will ask you to answer some of these questions directly, while others will be incorporated indirectly.
4) Once your topic has been approved and have analyzed the questions above, you are ready to fill out the Research Proposal form on Moodle.
The guidelines for your first draft and the final report are posted on Moodle as well. The crucial first step, however, is a successful, clear, and detailed enough proposal.
Literature Review/Research Paper Assignment
The instructions below pertain to the final copy of the assignment. The first draft should demonstrate positive dynamics towards meeting all of the below requirements, but may, by definition, not meet all of them yet.
Length:
14-16 pages (double-spaced), not including introductory pages or references.
Format:
Follow the guidelines for a business report given in the Style Sheet on Moodle (please note that this sample business report that follows the style sheet is based on a first year communications assignment. You should not base your content on this model, only the formatting).
Include a running header that includes student name, course, and section number (do not use design templates, no headers on title page).
Running footer should have page number centered at bottom of page (small Roman Numerals for intro pages, and regular Arabic numbers for balance of document – the title page is the first page, but there is no page number on it).
No title fly or letter of transmittal is necessary on this report.
Outline:
Title Page
Table of Contents: use the Word TOC functionality, do not type out manually
Executive Summary (he need at the end)(no more than 1 page in length): provides a quick but persuasive, at-a-glance summary of the entire contents of the report. Highlights or gives an overview of the main points that you make in each section. This is the most important page of your research document, since this is what goes to senior executives for a decision on the report. The Executive Summary must be impeccable; typos or grammatical mistakes can mean that this report will “crash and burn.” The Executive Summary is written after the rest of the report has been completed, and is in past tense, never future, since it presents the results of your research.
Introduction (no more than 1 page in length): if through your analysis, you have been able to demonstrate that one of the camps of thought under discussion has a stronger argument (as defined by Lewis), you can make this your thesis statement. However, you are not to take sides when it comes to the topic itself. Write in third person and be as objective and inclusive as possible. The literature review must be structured so that it is not just an annotated bibliography – remember that the main purpose here is not only to talk about different viewpoints on a topic but, more importantly, to discuss how these different viewpoints are presented in different ways. If your analysis points to the strength of the argumentation employed by a particular camp of thought, you will introduce this idea in your introduction and give an overview of the main ideas in each of your sections. As you write your sections, remember to relate your information back to the main idea. Additionally, use the introduction to introduce the scope and types of sources you are analyzing.
Background (no more than 1 page in length): in this section, you will summarize some basic facts/background information about your issue using a variety of sources. Describe what the issue is and why it is important. Use subheadings where appropriate. You will probably wish to organize this section like a mini-essay, with a short introductory paragraph to introduce your main idea and main points, and a conclusion that wraps up your ideas in a satisfying manner and relates them back to your overall idea.
Viewpoints (no more than 3 pages in length): in this section, you will group the different viewpoints that your authors have about this issue into several different categories or camps of thought, with a separate subheading for each category. Discuss each viewpoint and analyze/explain why the authors approach the topic in the way they do. You will also want to set the viewpoints in context by discussing how they relate, respond, or appear to be influenced by each other. You will probably wish to organize this section like a mini-essay, similar to the section above.
Language, Evidence, and Techniques (usually around 10 pages in length): this is the main section of your review where you will discuss the different types of rhetorical approaches that authors take. Remember that Kent Lewis’s introductions to Chapter 3 on “Questions” and to Chapter 8 on “Argument” will provide you with the rhetorical and analytical tools (inductive and deductive reasoning processes, measureable and testable evidence, as well as logical and emotional fallacies) that will help give your discussion the level of complexity and professionalism that it deserves. Do not review sources in isolation – compare and contrast their approaches within the same paragraphs instead. You should not group the sources here by their viewpoints – the subheadings should refer to language features, evidence types, and rhetorical techniques employed instead. Again, you may organize this section as a mini-essay.
Conclusion (no more than 1 page in length): relates back to the material in the introduction by summarizing the main ideas from each section and making clear how they relate to your overall viewpoint. Your conclusion should bring everything together in a manner that is interesting and convincing for your reader. You do not need to conclude that one side has a stronger argument than the other, but if it is evident from your analysis, you can state so (objectively).
References: must include at least 15 high quality sources. I will be looking to see that you have picked resources that have some depth to them. I hope that you will look for and find different types of articles and different viewpoints or approaches in these articles. I will also be looking to make sure that you have accessed them using a mixture of different resources, e.g. online, library databases, news websites, and print material. Of the sources you use in the final report, no more than 3 can be dated older than 6 months ago but no older than 3 years ago; no more than 2 can be videos (that must have text spoken or written on the screen); no more than 1 can be in a language other than English; at least 3 need to originate from Canada. You do not have to use all of the sources you had listed in your research proposal.
Grading:
A detailed rubric published on Moodle.
You will be graded based on the following criteria:Topic development
Quality of writing
Content
Format
Depth of analysis
Strength of argument
Quality of sources
Readability, style, and tone
