Please save your submission as a word doc. or docx. file, or as a pdf.

Marking criteria: 
The purpose of a literature and artefact review is to show the ‘gap’ in knowledge/ research and literature that exists and explain how your topic will fill that gap
Clarity and relevance (of concepts and themes to topic)
Presentation and referencing (clear structure, sequencing, grammar and style)
Argument and thematic coherence
Critical engagement with texts and artefacts, so as to: 
(a) Reveal a critical engagement with the texts and artefacts referred to by comparing differing points of view; 
(b) Bring similar viewpoints together and critique them according to your own topic (i.e. do NOT deal with one reference or example one after the other separately)
