PSY3102 Final Literature Review
Yaroslav Konar
In the Final Literature Review/Report you will review 2 articles and critique
their approaches for any weaknesses. The report should be 3–4 pages doublespaced,
12-point font, Times New Roman, with 1 inch margins. The Title page
and Reference section should be on separate pages from the rest of the report
(please see an example APA report below). The Final Review has a page limit
that you must abide by. This is to ensure that our TA is not overburdenned by
very long reports. To reiterate, the report should consist of 1 Title page, 3-4
pages of content, and 1 Reference section page.
The report should be a Word or PDF document and must be emailed to the
TA before midnight of the due date. A 20% penalty will be incurred for late
submissions. Please name the file of your report using the following format:
PSY3102-B Final Report LAST NAME
e.g., PSY3102-B Final Report KONAR
Please use the same format in the subject line of the email when you send
the Final Review to the TA’s email address.
Make sure that your topic is narrowly defined so that the articles you picked
are thematically linked. The Final Review will be marked not only on content
but also on whether you have followed the APA rules for formatting of the Title
page and the Reference section.
The Final Literature Review must have the following structure:
1
