You may revisit or expand on a topic you explored in your Media Model or Concept Analysis. Alternatively, you may choose a new topic to explore. In your essay: Describe the current events or situation surrounding your topic. Present an argument. You might choose to explain why this is a problem, and even offer an analysis of done to address it. You might argue that the situation presents an opportunity, which deserves more attention than it has currently. In other words, your essay must answer the following questions about your topic: “What is happening here? Why is it important? What should be done about it?” Include a clear thesis statement which answers these questions. Use facts and research to establish an informed position on the issues at hand. Consult at least 5 supporting sources for your essay. These must include: 2 or more scholarly peer-reviewed sources. 1 example pieces of media (such as a film, YouTube video, artwork, book, meme, blog post) used as evidence, a primary source, or case study.

Imagine that for your research proposal about why students chose Springfield College, someone asks the question “Is this evaluation research?” Your quick response is yes. Your assignment is to defend this position about your proposal being evaluation research. Out of the three topics appropriate for evaluation research, describe which one is the most relevant to your research question, and how it could be turned into/defended as evaluation research (Hints: what is the value of the information you collect from students? What if the data is collected over time? What could we do with it then? Is there a value in that? Who wants to know what information you collect? What could be done with the data? To whom is that data potentially important? Is there a problem that the data can potentially help address? As always 1-2 pg max, double spaced. There is no research paper on Springfield College. This is just a hypothetical paper.

Critically discuss the use of low glycaemic index diets in the treatment of type 2 diabetes You need to demonstrate your understanding of physiology or biochemical principles by the detailed consideration of each topic related to nutrition. Your target audience for the assignment is someone with a biomedical background, therefore, be selective of the basic information you include. A key skill you will utilise is selecting the important information you believe is relevant to the essay title.   Where relevant you should demonstrate the ability to critically evaluate current research, so it is important that you refer to and discuss relevant studies from the literature. Be mindful of including the appropriate level of detail from the different studies. Do not be too descriptive, but make sure you include enough relevant information for the reader to understand the relevance of the study. Make sure that you reference all your sources appropriately according to the Roehampton Reference Style guidelines (please see link elsewhere on this page) and that you always write using your own words rather than rephrasing the words of the various articles. The review should have a clear structure. This includes 1) introduction, 2) main part and 3) conclusion. The introduction should lead up to the main topic and give a brief background/reasoning for discussing the main part. It should end with a clear aim stating what you aim to cover in the main section. In the main part you need to compare and contrast different studies relevant for your topic. This should be supported by references to the literature. Make sure they are up to date (i.e. do not quote references exclusively from before 2000 – a lot has changed since then). The word requirement for the assignments is 2,000 words ± 10% and your mark will be affected if you are significantly above or below this limit.   How to write a review (video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72zhL9xmJdI References guideline attached (both short and long one)
