Assessment Overview

This assignment requires you to identify and provide preliminary information to support a future research proposal and draws on information taught in weeks 1-5. A template is provided in the Moodle page for Assessment 1 and must be used in completing this assignment.

2. Identify a specific gap in the scholarly research relating to your chosen topic area (based on your reading about the topic)

Your ability to demonstrate understanding of these processes will determine the marks you are given.
