The individual assignment requires you to read a minimum of five academic research articles other than what are provided in the textbook and in class. Academic research refers to articles published in academic, peer-reviewed journal articles. The academic research articles should be relevant to the topic, contemporary (i.e., published in the last 5 years) and high quality (i.e., published in journals ranked by the Australian Business Dean’s Council or Australian Research Council as A*, A, or B). You are encouraged to use additional high quality sources beyond the minimum requirement (e.g., additional journal articles, book chapters, etc.). Tips for finding appropriate references will be posted on the LMS and further assistance is available from the teaching staff and the library. Note that Wikipedia and similar sources are not acceptable for this individual assignment.
Properly cite sources in the main text of the essay and include a separate reference page at the end of the essay. The in-text citations and references should be formatted using either the current version of the American Psychological Association (APA) or Harvard style. See the library website for tips on using these formats: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/library/individual assignment-thesis-support.
