Additional Info
Complete a draft literature review. Try not to exceed 1000 words and aim for 10-15 sources cited. Remember to do in-text citations - for example (Raw et al, 2016) - and to keep compiling your reference list (arranged alphabetically by author) as a separate document. See guidance in the Introduction booklet for how to do Harvard referencing.
Your literature review will probably be divided into sections with headings and subheadings. It tends to follow after the Aim (1.1), so the overall heading will probably be '1.2: Literature Review' and then sub-headings for different sections of it...1.2.1, 1.2.2 or 1.2a, 1.2b etc.
If you use images (not essential, but you may find something you think adds value), they need to be captioned - recommendation is that you caption them Figure 1.1, 1.2 etc, and then figures in your next section (Methodology) are Figure 2.1, 2.2 etc. Don't start with Figure 1 and then just do figures through the whole project so your last one is Figure 30 or something like that. Figure captions need a citation. And figures must be integrated into the text - they can't be plonked in without reference. So you need to write phrases like 'As can be seen in Figure 1.1', or 'Figure 1.1 shows that', or even just (see Figure 1.1).
