The introductory paragraph is to cover the topic reviewed, the number of articles reviewed and the aim of the review (1/2 page – 4 marks) 2. Literature reviews Provide in a summary form, the literature of the articles reviewed. You are to explain what these articles are saying about the topic of study. Quotations are required in this section. For example, According to John (2020), he mentioned that change management is “Late assignments will attract a penalty of 10% (of assignment mark) mark deduction per day of delay. If you delay, notify the coordinator with the proof of the delay (e.g. sick-sheet etc...) and a draft of whatever you did on assignment before or by the due date”. The course Coordinator will only allow extension if the excuse is justified and evidence is provided. It is in your best interest to submit timely assignments.
