Assessment Report
Introduction
This section sets the scene for the reader and includes: purpose of the report, the scope of the report - what the report covers and how the information or report is limited/ constrained). Also include an outline of how the sections/information will be presented.
Research overview and background
This section should provide the context and significance of your research. This section should "set the scene" for the proposed research project.It should explicitly statewhich field the research is embedded in e.g. hospitality and human resource management.
Problem statement
This section should describe the specific problem the research project will explore. The problem statement should reflect the scope of the research (demographics - geographic and temporal aspects)
It should include;
• What is the specific problem? Start with the broader issue e.g. Impact of disruptive innovation hospitality - then drill down to the more specific problem e.g. Impact of AirBnb in regional NSW
• Supporting statements - how do you know this is a problem? You will need to conduct background research and provide references (citations)
• Significance of the research
"Why is this topic significant to you? Why should others be interested in it? You might find it helpful to think about what led you to undertake research in this area. You might also consider how scholars in the field discuss its importance. In what ways is your understanding of its significance similar or different?" (Monash University, 2020)
Research Aim
Start with a simple statement - "The aim of this research is to..."
The aim of the research can also be referred to as the research ‘objective'

Literature review
This can be copied from assessment 2 however you will need to demonstrate improvements to this section based on assessment 2 feedback.
Research Design
Method
Describe and justify your approach to the research e.g. quantitative, qualitative or mixed method.
This is an Applied Research project, be sure to explain how your research fits as an applied research project.
Collection & Sampling
Describe HOW you collected the data that you have used
How did you verify the data source/s used?
Discuss any drawbacks relating to the use of secondary data sources in your research
How did you choose your sample for your data collection?
Describe the sampling method used by the original source/s
Analysis
What type of data analysis have you used?
Read:
Logan, T 2020, ‘A Practical, Iterative Framework for Secondary Data Analysis in Educational Research', Australian educational researcher, vol. 47, no. 1, pp. 129-148.
Ethical considerations
How are data being managed, stored, and represented?
How are texts/persons/data being studied?
Does one's method of analysis require exact quoting and if so, what might be the ethical consequence of this in the immediate or long term? (For example, would quoting directly from a blog cause harm to the blogger and if so, could another method of representation be less risky?
Could materials be restricted because of copyright? (For example, many countries have restrictions on using screenshots or images taken from the web without permission.
Findings
This section presents the results obtained from interpreting the data you have gathered. Present the information clearly, concisely and record only facts. No personal opinions are included.
• Include any relevant graphs, tables or plans to summarise the findings
• Include data commentary describing any figures and tables
• Be sure to label and reference figures and tables according to the SCU Harvard reference format
• See tips in the Discussion board - ‘Writing up your report'
Discussion
This section discusses the results. The results are interpreted and compared to those of relevant studies/theories referred to earlier in the report. Link the discussion to the literature, your research question/s and the findings.
Recommendations
As a result of the investigations and your understanding of the relevant theory, what recommendations can you make (e.g. for further study of the problem or issue, to improve the workplace practice, behaviours)?
