The Importance of Cross-curricular learning

Choose 6 relevant academic texts and write one entry for each. Each entry should give a critical exploration of that text. Aim for breadth and depth of reading across the six texts.

Each entry should also:

– Start with its full reference (Harvard style)

– Be approximately 500 words long

– Focus on appropriate text (e.g peer reviewed journal articles, academic texts, formal reports)

– Provide a critical exploration of the text

– Be precise, self contained and informative

– Show skills of critical appraisal, e.g ability to: summarise its content, analyse the central concepts and arguments of material, relate it to other literature, provide a concise evaluation of its relevance and usefulness.

Conclusion (approx 500 words):

– Draw on the key messages from the literature, including limitations and opportunities.

– Consider the links and differences between the texts.

– Discuss the implications of the literature.

– Provide suggestions and possible recommendations for further reading/research.

– Reflect on the value of this research/study essay.
