  Presentation of your Essay

  • Essays are to be presented according to the information contained in the University Guide for the Presentation of Academic Work (see http://www.ballarat.edu.au/generalguide)
  • In the essay, you are expected to write in paragraph style with an introduction and a conclusion. The use of bulleted/numbered lists should be avoided and headings (if any) kept to a minimum (no more than 5).
  • Essay should be presented in the following order and format (Mohan, 2008, pp316-317):
    1. Cover page;
    2. Table of contents (Auto-generated);
    3. Abstract;
    4. Introduction;
    5. Sections;
  • Essays with unsupported personal opinions will be marked down, as will those that make excessive use of direct quotes (no more than 8 lines in total).
  • Incorrect APA referencing will also be penalised. Your essay should include both a list of references used in the essay and a bibliography of the wider reading you have done to familiarise yourself with the topic.
  • Any direct quotation from one of your sources (i.e. anything that you have not written yourself) must be referenced (cited) in-text (as well as included in the reference list); if the quotation is more than three lines in length it should be formatted in its own paragraph indented 0.75 cm, single-spaced, with font size 10; if it is three lines or less it should be surrounded by quotation marks (double inverted commas). This is normal practice, which you should always follow.
  • The vast majority of your essay should consist of your own writing whether paraphrasing a specific section of a source or synthesizing ideas from a number of sources. Paraphrasing should also be accompanied by in-text citation (as for a direct quotation).
  • If you use a source either with a direct quotation or by paraphrasing and do not cite it, you are guilty of plagiarism (refer to the course description).

  FINAL CRITICAL LITERATURE REVIEW (85%)

  The Final Critical Literature Review (2000 words), it should be noted, is worth 85% and

  consideration will be given to the following:

  • A comprehensive introduction
  • Selection of appropriate resources
  • Critical analysis and review of resources
  • A comprehensive conclusion
  • Presentation of work

  The Final Critical Literature Review should demonstrate significant advancement from your

  Progress Report — avoid the temptation of ‘cutting’ and ‘pasting’ large quantities of work

  from your Progress Report. You should at this final stage, produce a Critical Literature

  Review which shows evidence of wide and analytical reading, reflecting an outstanding

  (critical) comprehension of literature in your chosen topic / subject area.

  The following guidelines (for indicative purposes) have been adapted from a framework

  proposed at the University of Warwick (1994 cited in Blaxter et al. 1997: 217) for structuring

  a final year dissertation. You might find these useful:

  • Introduction

  Outline the research area — presenting the aim / objective(s) / research question(s), which

  should relate to the literature review. Clearly and concisely state the reasons (or rationale)

  for choosing the topic / subject area. Place your work in an academic and / industrial

  context — how is it of use to the sector the topic / subject area relates to (industrial context)

  and / or what debate are you developing in the academic realm? Briefly outline the structure

  of your report — what is contained in each section. This will give the reader an indication

  of what is to follow, and how your project, research and thought have been developed.

   

  • Literature Review

  This is a critical assessment of existing research in your chosen topic / subject area. The

  critical review of literature should include contemporary resources and, also, depth and

  breadth of arguments are important. The literature review should be placed into context in

  view of the aim / objective(s) / research question(s). You need to show evidence that you

  have read and understood relevant literature relating to your area of study. Arguments

  should be clearly and concisely stated — you should be critically interpreting, analysing and

  reflecting upon the literature in your review.

  • Conclusion

  Summarise the main arguments emerging from your critical review of the literature — your

  conclusions need to be supported by the evidence presented in the literature review. You

  need to return to the aim / objective(s) / research question(s) of your work — have these

  been fulfilled? You need to evaluate your own progress and project outcomes — what

  limitations would you identify? Are recommendations appropriate or necessary and if so are

  they feasible and practical?

  • References

  All references cited in-text should be listed in-line with the Harvard format.

  • Appendix

  If required.

  Appendices do not contribute to the word limit, nor are the marked. Appendices should be

  used selectively to demonstrate information which is interesting and relevant, but not

  integral.
