Coursework One – Individual 15 minute powerpoint presentation, plus accompanying notes/script (those notes/script to be placed underneath the powerpoint slides) to be presented in-class in week 9 or in week 10 – worth 50% of the module
The presentation requires you to provide an analysis and description lasting 15 minutes of a relevant academic paper(s). There is no set word length for this assignment. You have been provided with themed folders on Moodle which contain multiple journal articles. You can choose to do your presentation on just one journal article, or on two articles, but unless otherwise cleared with me, they must both be from the same themed folder (i.e. on broadly the same theme). You can also do your presentation on one or two articles that you discover yourself, but you MUST clear this with me beforehand, so I have time to look at those articles
The presentation requires you to provide a clear description and a critical analysis of ONE or TWO relevant academic papers. As mentioned above, you have been provided with a wide choice of papers (grouped into themes). You are expected to critique the article(s) you choose by, in part, drawing upon other relevant literature, such as academic books and academic journal articles and, if relevant, non-academic books and quality journalism.
