PROJECT MANAGEMENT RESEARCH METHODS (ENGM 60050)
PMRM Coursework A: Critical Analysis of Academic Journal Papers (70% Unit)

Submission Deadline: 10am TUESDAY 21st March 2023 (Week 8)

Coursework Aim

The purpose of “PMRM Coursework A” is to assess your ability to:

 Conduct a literature search – finding and selecting relevant, appropriate academic sources;

ï‚· Summarise and critically evaluate a selection of academic journal papers and draw appropriate
conclusions;

ï‚· Correctly reference academic sources of information using standard Harvard referencing.

In addition, through background reading to support the preparation of the coursework, students are expected to
develop relevant knowledge of the published academic literature relevant to their allocated dissertation topic
area. This enables you to identify specific research questions to investigate in your own dissertation project
research.

Coursework Overview

ï‚· Coursework A must be based on your allocated dissertation topic area. You will be informed of your
dissertation topic area early in Semester 2.

ï‚· At the start of your report you define the focus and scope of your mini-literature review and present a
fully-referenced introduction to this specific topic.

ï‚· You then describe your methodology for searching and selecting appropriate academic literature sources
(peer reviewed journal papers).

ï‚· You then summarise and critically analyse a carefully chosen set of three academic journal papers that are
relevant to your dissertation topic, comparing each of these “core papers” with each other and with other
related academic papers.

ï‚· Finally, using your analysis you must draw insights and present appropriate conclusions from critiquing
your selection of three “core papers” and other supporting literature.

In Coursework B, which is submitted later and separately after Coursework A, you will be required to create an
outline proposal for your dissertation project, based on your allocated topic area and background reading.
