1,500 Word Report +/-10% (100% weighting) Write a report of 1500 words in which you critically review two pieces of research that you found during your literature search. One should include quantitative research methods and the other qualitative research methods. 
 This task requires you to do a literature search, based on a topic of your own choice but related to the overall programme of study, My topic is Smoking cessation and cardiovascular disease in the UK. You must then critically review two articles of research that you find.  One of them must be of a qualitative research type and the other must be based on a qualitative analysis.  The easiest way to find these articles is to use the library databases and search for peer reviewed articles. You are writing one report based on at least two articles.  The aim of the report is to show that you understand the differences between these two methods. Therefore you will be introducing a topic and discussing the differences in concepts such as validity and reliability, perhaps replicability if someone else was to repeat the studies that you discuss. Special Warning from Lecturer 
I have looked at a number of drafts now and there are some common issues you might want to take on board for your own work. When I have commented on your draft it will appear as a zero.  Take note there is no grade of drafts, it is merely a numerical mark to allow work to be returned to you. 1. Do not put first names in citations. 2. Do use page numbers in citations. 3. Do not use even margins, left is justified and right is left ragged. 4. Do use double line spacing. 5. DO NOT PUT YOUR NAME IN YOUR WORK. 6. This is not a research methods course and the aim of your report is not to review the methodology. It is to critical analyse the contribution a study has made to the topic of your choice, using either qualitative or quantitative methods and whether it is a valid study giving all you know about  each method.  This is what you are criticising.  You do not need to give account of how you found the articles or any systematic review information.  You do not have the space to do all of this.   7. Try and write more concisely - get to the point. 8. Try and be more consistent in your reference list.  Much of what I have seen is incomplete, so you need to pay more attention to the detail in your Harvard examples. 9. Please remember, work in progress is a draft, not complete work.
