ASSESSMENT: ASSESSMENT 1 – Literature review
This assessment briefing is designed to provide further information or details in relation to the assessment task. It is not designed to replace the information in the subject outline. Instead it is provided to explain or expand the information contained there.
Where there is inconsistency between the two documents, the subject outline must be regarded as the authoritative document.
Literature Review
This literature review should be approximately 2000 words in total length. The assessment will be submitted via Turnitin from the Assignment Page on UTS Online. This assessment task is due on 20th April, 2020 at 5pm.
Students are required to provide a literature review of no less than 5 resources and no more than 10 resources. These resources must be sourced from peer-reviewed academic journals, books, or high quality, reputable ‘grey literature’ , that is, government reports, health sector reports, or other online, PDF formats.
The objective of the literature review is to demonstrate that the student has adequately researched, analysed and described a geneology or history of an academic subject that is highly relevant to your challenge brief. In other words, what has been written about this topic before? Therefore, it is important that the literature review shows a logical and well-written narrative, or flow.
1. Students must clearly:
2. Summarise and evaluate the resources. What are the resources describing and is the information logical, well-researched, broad and balanced, and if not, why?
3. Identify resources in the context of previous research. What new ideas, facts or concepts are the reviewed resources offering?
4. Describe how the reviewed literature contributes to better understanding components of the Australian health care system that are relevant to the challenge brief. That is, what does the reviewed literature reveal about the issues related to the challenge in an Australian context?
Details on how to complete this assessment are available in UTSOnline.
