Credibility of literature sources plays a particularly important role for the quality of your brief literature review
Assessment 3 – Research Report: Topic Presentation (200 words) and Brief literature review of academically 4 credible sources with a bibliography in Harvard style with Conclusion (800 words), 1000 with +/-100 words waiver, words per student, without counting the reference list (30%),
You should work on your topic associated with social psychology by developing your understanding of it though academic sources.
You should ideally use the findings of references you have evaluated as useful during an Annotated Bibliography exercise, which would optimize your efforts. Yet, you are welcome to use other sources, too.
Please note that this is a Research Report assignment called a BRIEF LITERATURE REVIEW, meaning that your work will be evaluated on the basis of literature sources that you will synthesize to discuss a specific theory explaining one of the aspects of your topic.
Credibility of literature sources plays a particularly important role for the quality of your brief literature review
In general, the Research Report should have approximately 1’000 words:
– an explanation of topic importance should contain about 200 words per individual student,
– A brief literature review should contain about 800 words per individual student, excluding bibliography.

Credibility of literature sources plays a particularly important role for the quality of your brief literature review. For doing a brief literature review on a theory from social psychology of your choice, use primarily credible academic sources (academic journal publications, book chapters, and academic research papers). Alternatively, you can use other sources, such as STR hotel analytics, HVS hospitality industry reports, industry reports, statistical publications, newspaper articles, and/or recognized professional association websites. However, the other sources do not count towards the credible academic source count.
The following literature review sources breakdown will be used as a minimal requirement for the indicated grade (overall evaluation will be capped at the indicated grading level):
Excellent (A, 100 maximum): 1 book chapter + 3 academic research papers
OR 2 book chapters + 2 academic research paper
OR 3 book chapters + 1 academic research paper
Above average (B+, 89 maximum): 1 book chapter + 2 academic research papers
OR 2 book chapters + 1 academic research paper
Course average (B-, 82 maximum): 1 book chapter + 1 academic research paper + 1 other source
Minimum pass (C+, 79 maximum): 1 book chapter OR 1 academic research paper + 1 source of any type
Below average (C-, 69 maximum): 1 source of any type
Fail (F, 59 maximum): No credible literature sources used in text
The grade will be penalized in case of substantial misunderstanding or lack of familiarization with the topic content resulting from misuse of literature sources, such as (but not limited to):
1. systematic or major lack of originality in analysis (10 points), synthesis of key findings from the source (10 points), and conclusion development (10 points) (30 points in total);
2. systematic or major evidence of familiarization with the content of findings with one specific source (10 points);
3. systematic or major mismatch between the actual and reported source content (10 points);
4. systematic or major mismatch between the sources referenced and used in the bibliography (10 points).
Following structure is expected:
- • _Introduction: (half a page to 1 page): Present the topic importance
- • _Literature review (two to four pages): Describe your key construct or theory; explain its key premises by analyzing, comparing and contrasting the findings from your sources; evaluate your reviewed source credibility
- • _Conclusions: synthesize the main ideas to remember on your topic by combining the knowledge from reviewed sources
- • _Reference list (attention, please use Harvard Referencing).
- • _Appendices (detailed analytical tables, other materials, if any)
Electronic copy of your brief literature review should be submitted on e-learning from Friday, W9.
Specific grading criteria for Assessment 3 (10% each):
- use of theory and social psychology concepts (topic importance)
- links among theory and social psychology concepts (topic importance)
- analysis (of literature sources)
- synthesis(of literature sources)_
- evaluation-level thinking (conclusions)
- development of a logical and well-ordered argument (specific theory use or concept description)
- Harvard style use (academic sources, reference list, citations, quotations)
- organization: paragraphs, transition of words and phrases
- clarity of expression
- spelling and grammar
