A genre based analysis on the discussion section of ph d research manuscript ...Tutors India
During the course of writing your undergraduate dissertation, there will be a time when you have to take up the task of writing a literature review. For those who are unaware, a literature review is deemed as an integral part of academic writing which would be instrumental in signifying understanding and knowledge about academic literature regarding a particular topic [1]. However, the important aspect that academic researchers need to know is that literature review is not just about writing, on the contrary, it would consist of critically assessing the literature [2]. That’s the main reason why it is known as a literature review. Otherwise, it could have very well been termed as a literature report.

3) The third question is true - the 'T' in the acronym 'S.E.T.' stands for 'Things'.
4) The fourth question is false - most of the facilitators were not staff members like lecturers or professors.
5) The fifth question is also false - a wiki was not created that could be

1Logical data modelIs used to describe a data in a deta.docxhyacinthshackley2629
1
Logical data model
Is used to describe a data in a detailed way. It contains all entities and relationships among them, specify all attributes for each entity and specify both primary and foreign keys for each entity.
It is where normalization of data is done and help to analyses database.
Key
· Solid red underline is for primary keys
· Dotted blue underline is for foreign keys
First Normal Form (1NF) - Is where a group of information can’t be allowed to repeat itself in two or more rows in a table. Each row must have a unique value. Primary is placed on one column but at times can have many columns. For example:-
Item_id
Customer_name
1
Liz, Caro
2
Ruth
3
Sam
And thus its INF for the above table will be:-
Item_id
Customer_name
1
Liz
1
Caro
2
Ruth
3
Sam
Any row must not have a column with more than one value for example separated by a comma. Then you must separate that data and put them in multiple rows.
This help to increase data redundancy because many columns with same data in multiple rows are created but each row will be unique.
Second Normal Form (2NF)
If is in INF and all of its non-key attributes are fully functional dependent on the primary key.
For example:-
Item_id
Customer_name
Order_total_price
1
Liz
500
2
Caro
800
3
James
75
2NF for the above will be:-
Item_id
Customer_name
1
Liz
2
Caro
3
James
Item_id
Order_total_price
1
500
2
800
3
75
From the 2NF tables above, Order_total_price is fully dependent on the primary key Item_id.
Third Normal Form (3NF) is where a table must be in 2NF and for every non-prime attribute should be dependent on the primary key.
For example:-
Customer_id
Customer_name
Customer_address
Customer_city
Customer_state
Customer_zip
1
Liz
12,
Oslo
Oslo
00100
2
Caro
456,
California
California
00213
3
James
89,
Michigan
Michigan
00457
3NF for the above will be:-
Customer_id
Customer_name
Customer_zip
1
Liz
00100
2
Caro
00213
3
James
00457
Customer_zip
Customer_address
Customer_city
Customer_state
00100
12,
Oslo
Oslo
00213
456,
California
California
00457
89,
Michigan
Michigan
Customer_zip is a transitive dependency but Customer_id is the primary key for the above tables. To apply 3NF Customer_zip becomes the new primary key because it is depended by the address, city and state of a customer and a new table is created for such.
The importance of removing transitive dependency is that data duplication is reduced in a table and data integrity is attained.

10. TIPS FOR STRUCTURING YOUR
ASSIGNMENT
• This is a research-based report on a Communication Disorder, divided into
six sections, together with a brief (i.e. 3 – 5 sentences in one paragraph)
introduction and conclusion.
• The main sections are:
Epidemiological information (e.g. gender effects, prevalence, incidence etc.)
Aetiology (i.e. cause of the disorder). If the cause is unknown, what are the key theories
about the cause?
Communication profile: How do people with the disorder typically function in the
communication areas listed below? (The following headings are examples)
Content (semantics)
Form (phonology, morphology, syntax)
Use (pragmatics)
11. TIPS FOR STRUCTURING YOUR
ASSIGNMENT
How is the disorder likely to impact the person’s functioning (activities and
participation)?
Prognosis (expected outcome) for the communication disorder if known.
Speech-language therapy intervention – may be best describe one or two
common therapy types.
• Each of the main sections will typically consist of between one and four
paragraphs of 4 – 6 sentences each. This will add up to something like 14 – 20
paragraphs in total (giving you your 2000 words).
•
Because the report is research-based, there should be in-text citations in
each paragraph to support the claims which are made there.
• The reference list at the end will typically consist of between 10 and 20
references – most of which are academic journal articles matching the in-text citations in the body of the report.
12. INTRODUCTION
• Every report is different. This is partly because they are about
different disorders and partly because there are a wide range of options
about what to focus on in each section, how much detail to go into etc.
For instance, some excellent reports include a preview as part of the
introduction; others have no preview. In the end, it is your decision.
• Use the example extracts below (and others which feature in
Workshop 2) as a general guide to writing style, but avoid over-reliance
on them: copying and/or ‘filling in the gaps’ with your own data would be
a bad idea!
13. INTRODUCTION
Aim to start as you mean to go on – clear, concise and
evidence-based writing.
The two most typical elements are a definition / explanation
of the basic features of the condition and a preview of the
rest of the report. In other words, aim to answer these two
questions:
• What is the condition?
• What is the purpose, scope and structure of this
report?
14. INTRODUCTION: EXAMPLE
EXTRACT
Syndrome A describes a group of xx difficulties arising from injury
to xx (Smith & Jones, 1994; Singh, 2009). This injury damages xx,
affecting the individual’s ability to xx. Physical manifestations
range from xx to xx. Some individuals with Syndrome A may only
have difficulties in xx, while others may be unable to xx. Syndrome
A is classified according to the type of movement disorder: B, C, or
D (Adams, 2011). This report focuses on the most common of
these: Disorder B. The key features of the condition itself, its
impact on individuals and major approaches to speech-language
therapy interventions are summarised in the sections of the report
which follow.
15. CONCLUSION: SELECTED ISSUES
•
As with the introduction, focus strongly on clarity and conciseness.
•
Aim to summarise the key facts about the condition, its impacts and
interventions in four or five sentences.
16. CONCLUSION: EXAMPLE EXTRACT
Syndrome A is the most prevalent xx in young adults. The condition
affects the individual’s …. and therefore impairs their participation in ….
While there is no cure, a number of treatments and therapies are
available which can alleviate the symptoms and allow an individual to xx.
Speech-language interventions focus on bb and have been shown to be
effective in cc.
17. ASSIGNMENT 1 – RESEARCH TIPS
• Use your textbook and other library books to get an overview of the
condition (but use these minimally or not at all in the assignment itself)
• Attend Ness’s library skills workshop this week and spend at least a
couple of hours going through the very useful library resources on your
Stream page
• Use keywords from your overview and from the parts of Assignment B to
search databases – e.g. MedLine, EBSCO Host Health Database search etc
• Use the titles and abstracts to decide if the article is worth reading
• If you find a good recent article, look in the reference list and search
within the same journal for others
• Select articles which are easier to understand and more relevant to parts
of this assignment and aim for a balance between review articles
and research reports

What’s wrong with example 1?
Sadly, “the impact of xx is not limited to people’s

according to (Brown, 2002, p. 231).
