This document provides instructions for Assessment 1, which requires students to write a report summarizing an assigned chapter, updating it with current literature, and integrating an analysis of an assigned case study. Students must summarize the key concepts and contributions of the chapter, then update it with a literature review of at least 5 recent journal papers. They must also apply concepts from the updated chapter to analyze their assigned case study, integrating relevant facts and analysis from the case study to support their arguments and synthesis. The report will be evaluated based on the quality of the chapter summary, literature-informed update, case study analysis, and overall report.
