Critical Review of Research A

Catalog description

Through the course of this Learning Achievement students demonstrate their ability to conduct a review and appraisal of the foundational, conceptual, and research studies in a chosen field of interest. The CRR includes a general research question (which may be underpinned by realist, interpretivist or humanist approaches), a fully-documented search process, a set of 15-30 sources that represent the knowledge base of the chosen field of study, and a methodological appraisal of both individual entries and the field at large. It is comprised of two parts - the CRR-A (Proposal) and the CRR-B (Final). The student must secure approval of the proposal and be awarded credit before proceeding to CRR-B.
