Literature review assignment (25% of total grade)
Final paper: between 900-1,300 words (except for references)
The purpose of this assignment is to help improve your critical and analytical thinking as well as your research ability. To make your life easier, you are free to choose any topic within the field of social science.
Please use the following format (four sections) for your paper. You can add subsections if you want.
What is the issue, and why is it important? Define the topic or problem you wish to address. Be sure to define in specific enough terms to examine thoroughly in the time available. For example, “happiness” or “housing price” is too broad. “The relationship between friendship and happiness,” or “Impact of school quality on housing price” are acceptable paper topics. Explain why studying the topic of your choice is important from the perspective of society.
What do we know? Conduct a critical review of the literature and discuss your findings. Your analysis should be drawn primarily from the academic literature: Minimum 13 references (including at least 8 journal articles or book chapters written in English). Consultant reports, publications from advocacy organizations, and most government agency reports are often not reliable sources. Be particularly careful of what you find on the Web. I encourage you to use academic literature as much as you can.
What conclusions can be drawn from your assessment? Is there a need for more research on this question?
