Developing an argument
You decide on the focus of your review of the
selected texts and you engage critically with
them and interpret and synthesise your findings.
Most importantly of all, you must communicate
your findings clearly and logically. This is best
done if you have an argument that a reader can
follow.
Looking for gaps in the literature
How novel is the work that you are reviewing?
what is known and unknown you need to know the
range of research and issues in your chosen topic area.
ASSIGNMENT 1
You have been provided with the 2 papers you
want to critique (NB this is a change to previous
years assignments).
Q5 Technique:
Coherence as a theory of truth
The Q 5 technique asks 5 questions-it helps formulating
ideas that you can map onto a V diagram when planning
research and also when analysing someone elses work.
Using the Q5 according to Gowan and Alvarez gives the
research a sense of the extent of the coherence of the
research investigation.

The 'Laws of Mind Mapping' were originally
devised by Tony Buzan when he codified the
use of imagery, colour and association and
coined the phrase 'Mind Mapping'.
In the intervening 30 plus years, there have
been many variations on the original 'Mind Map
' and the widespread usage of mapping
software of various sorts, has dramatically
changed what is possible.
