Assessment - Research Paper

This assessment item relates to the unit learning outcomes as in the unit descriptor. This assessment is designed to improve student research and writing skills and to give students experience in researching the literature on a topic relevant to the Unit of Study subject matter, critically analyzing current academic papers then presenting results and findings in a referenced written report.

Students will be able to:
a. analyze and reflect on the alternative methodologies used in developing business information systems
b. critically analyze requirements modelling and different modelling techniques for developing business information systems,
c. communicate the requirements for the business functionality of an information system in terms of data required, data storage and processing to technical and non- technical stakeholders.

Assignment Description:

You are expected to complete a critique and conduct a literature review to discuss a contemporary issue which an IS professional may experience and identify appropriate approaches to address this issue. The topic is "Information Architecture and UX/UI Design". You need to search in the literature and find at least ten (10) academic research papers (references) related to this topic. (Academic papers can be found in ProQuest. ProQuest instruction can be found in below. Please contact Liberian if you have further question).
A draft of the research paper (key points/headings) will be submitted in session 8 whereby each group can receive feedback. Then each group should submit the final research paper in the Blackboard by session 13.

Draft

1. Assignment File: You need to submit the draft version of your assignment in session 8. You need to introduce your 10 references and, in few sentences, describe why you have selected that reference and why it is relevant to topic.
DRAFT STRUCTURE:

? Introduction: State the purpose and objectives of the report.
? Discussion: Site the references, and the reason you have selected that reference:
1. Reference No 1: <Cite it thoroughly> Why it is relevant to the topic
2. Reference No 2: <Cite it thoroughly> Why it is relevant to the topic

3. Reference No 3: <Cite it thoroughly> Why it is relevant to the topic
.

.
10. Reference No 10: <Cite it thoroughly> Why it is relevant to the topic

? Conclusion: Summarise your findings, consolidating and drawing attention to the main points of the report.
? Referencing: reference sources must be cited in the text of the report, and listed appropriately at the end in a reference list using Harvard referencing style.

2. Academic References: A the academic papers and references that are used in the assignment need to be posted on BB along with your assignment file (in PDF files).

Final report:

What you need to submit for final submission:
1. Assignment File: You need to submit the final version of your assignment in session 13. The final submission must comply with the draft structure and draw heavily from the key references. The structure of the final submission is headings and in discussion critically analyse each reference and discuss how these references reflecting the proposed topic.

REPORT STRUCTURE:

? Introduction: State the purpose and objectives of the report.
? Discussion: Discuss the references, and critically analyse them and discuss how they reflect the proposed topic. It should reflect theas information for each paper:
What is the research question or research gap? What is the research methodology? How they collect data? How they analyse data? What is the result of the research?
