PART 2: For part 2 of the task, you need to write a literature review. We know that some students find this to be a daunting and difficult task. Writing does not come naturally for many people. We have many styles of writing – a note to a partner, a love letter to a romantic partner, a memo to a boss, an email to a friend, a report to colleagues, and then there is academic/scientific writing – in a class of its own! To assist you with this written part of the assignment, we provide additional material on scientific writing as an additional resource uploaded in the folder for Assignment 01 on the HMEMS80 myUnisa website. The additional material ranges from some fun exercises to guiding steps and helpful hints and we hope that exploring the different facets and problems typically associated with writing will help you to produce quality academic writing as an output for this assignment! Also, review the checklist for academic writing included at the end of the additional resource to finalise and evaluate your writing before you submit the assignment. The format of the literature review should include at least the following aspects/headings (Adapted from the Week 2 Resource 8 document): Front page and table of contents 1. INTRODUCTION – provides an overview of the context and background to the topic. An introduction should provide an overview of what the rest of the document entails namely to “set the scene” for what is to come. 2024_S2_ASS 01 7 2. VARIABLES - Identify the variable/s. Each variable should be identified first and then defined under a heading. 2.1 Variable 1 2.2 Variable 2 3. PREVIOUS RESEARCH – this includes a variety of research related to the variable/s; it includes exposing different viewpoints, that is, which views concerning the variable/s did you find corresponding and which ones did you find to be contradictory? And what does the literature say about the relationship between the variables and maybe, other variables? 4. PROBLEM STATEMENT 4.1 Flowing from the discussions in the literature review identify the research problem – formulate the research question. 4.2 Highlight how the existing body of knowledge (as presented in the literature review) links to the identified research problem (research question). 4.3 The need/value/motivation for the research. REFERENCE LIST Use the APA 7th edition guidelines (use this link on APA 7th edition referencing style: Library APA 7) to correctly list all the sources used in-text. PART 3: Part 3 of the task requires you to reference the sources that you use appropriately according to the requirements of the APA 7th edition style of referencing.
