You are expected to read a great deal throughout your undergraduate degree. For this coursework, you are required to submit an overview of ONE a core readings from SY4006. These are available through moodle, ebooks, or in the library.



Your Reading Journal should have two sections: one on the Reading and one on the Topic. It should be typed, 1.5 or double-spaced, and all readings should be correctly referenced using the Harvard system. You must submit this through the turnitin link available on moodle by Tuesday October 29th 2019 at 16.00.



The reading section (300 words +/- minus 5%, excluding bibliographic details) should provide the full bibliographic details and summary of one the core or additional reading from one week of teaching this term. This should give a brief overview of the reading, covering the key points and arguments, in a descriptive manner.

(The bibliographic details need to contain the following: author, year, title of article or chapter, journal name or book title, editors’ names (where relevant, and for books place of publication: publisher).





The topic section (300 words, +/- minus 5%, excluding bibliographic details) provides the opportunity to reflect on the reading and to draw on other readings that go beyond the summary that you have presented in the reading section. In this section you need to:



i) Offer more analysis of the main topic covered, and relate it to other key topics covered in the module.

ii) Elaborate on how the paper that you have read relates to other readings that you have completed on the module.

iii) Reflect on any problems that you had with the reading and identify future areas of the topic that you need to study.

iv) Ensure that all references are correctly cited and referenced.

This section requires you to reflect on your knowledge and understanding set out in i) and ii) above and in iii) you must reflect on how these can be extended. In essence, you are being assessed on how your reading fits into the key topics covered in the module and in other readings.
