Project description
“Has Globalisation improved the standard of living for people in India by providing sweatshops between, 2008 to 2013?”

The literature review represents 50% of your coursework mark and is a formal academic piece of writing (MAX. 2750 words excluding references). This is based upon your chosen research topic but is an individual piece of work, details about what a review of the literature is are presented below but also covered in full during the module.
The potential topic areas are covered in the first six weeks of the module.
Submission of your literature review is electronic via blackboard and MUST be completed by 2pm, on the 10th April. Please do not leave this until the last minute and ensure that if you submit multiple versions the final submission is COMPLETE and FINAL. This is the only version that will be marked.
Details of what is expected in each section of this element of your coursework are presented in detail in your workshop handbook.
What am I expected to do when writing a literature review?
A “review of the literature” is a classification and evaluation of what accredited scholars and researchers have written on a topic, in this case the topic you have chosen for your research projects. In writing the literature review, your purpose is to convey to your reader what knowledge and ideas have been established on a topic, and what their strengths and weaknesses are. As a piece of writing, the literature review must be defined by a guiding concept (e.g., your research objective, the problem or issue you are exploring, or your thesis). It is not just a descriptive list of the material available, or a set of summaries.
A literature review consists of an overview, a summary, and an evaluation (“critique”) of the current state of knowledge about a specific area of research. It may also include a discussion of methodological issues and suggestions for future research.
Besides enlarging your knowledge about the topic, writing a literature review lets you gain and demonstrate skills in two areas:
1. information seeking: the ability to scan the literature efficiently, using manual and computerized methods, to identify a set of useful articles, books and documents;
2. critical appraisal: the ability to apply principles of analysis to identify unbiased and valid studies.
A literature review must do these things:
a. be organized around and related directly to the thesis or research question you are developing;
b. synthesize results into a summary of what is and is not known;
c. identify areas of controversy in the literature;
d. formulate questions that need further research.
Why are Literature Reviews Important?
To become an expert in any field of endeavour, you must know your field comprehensively. Critical reviews of state-of-the-art literature permit the professional to make informed decisions, to act in an expert manner, and to set policy in his or her field of expertise.
Researchers conduct reviews of the literature to justify proposed studies, to uncover patterns of findings in the field, to enter into scientific debate, and to discover gaps in knowledge that lead to future research questions. Research reviews are often the first step toward making discoveries and social interventions in our society.

What criteria will be used to assess individual coursework?
The purpose of the Literature review assessment in this module is to measure your ability to research a subject area in-depth, collecting a wide variety of source material, collate this information and present a logical, well-structured piece of work which directly addresses the question set. Therefore, the assessment criterion for the literature review is as follows:
? Content – including depth of analysis, clarity of discussion, use of supporting evidence (including empirical data, authoritative source material, examples…), evidence of wider reading and effective referencing of source material using the Harvard style.
? Structure – including effective introduction (outlining the specific question and issues to be addressed) and conclusion (drawing together all the evidence presented to present a summary conclusion addressing the question), clear logical flow of ideas and balance of argument or discussion
? Focus – including directness if answer to question, absence of tangential points and arguments, clear points of emphasis and appropriate proportioning of sub-themes
? Expression – including clustering of sentences in to meaningful paragraphs, use of appropriate language (absence of ‘slang’ and informal expression)
? Presentation – including clarity of format, clear and effective referencing using the Harvard style, use of diagrams where appropriate, absence of grammatical and spelling errors, consistency of presentation (for example, font size etc…)
Further guidance on the assessment and producing written work at degree level will be given in class including the correct way to reference source material. You will be advised of the essay topics/questions during the first term.
There will be a number of opportunities across the module to practice your academic writing. The purpose of this is to provide early feedback to students on their ability to answer a question accurately and structure an effective essay answer and to provide an early opportunity for students to discuss with their tutors any concerns about essay writing skills. In order to support your work, we strongly advise you to buy a good guide to writing academic essays. These are especially useful if you feel unsure of you skills in essay-writing or are unsure of what is required of work at university level and how it differs from that which you might have done in education up until now. There are a considerable number of modules requiring written work, and therefore such a purchase is likely to be an invaluable purchase. We recommend the following book:
