Organising your review
As is the case with most of the writing you do at university, which is formal writing, a review should have an introduction, body and conclusion. However, if you are given a specific format in the Subject Outline, you should of course follow that. Introduction (10%) Body (80%) Conclusion (10%)
 * Identify the article you are reviewing, including the title of the text, the author's name and their expertise in the field being addressed in the article.
 * Identify the purpose and context in which the article was written.
 * Identify your purpose in writing the review and how your examination of the text will address the topic or problem you wish to resolve.
 * Summarise the main issues raised by the author of the text (Wallace & Wray, 2006, p. 117).
 * Analyse the key points made in the text.
 * Evaluate the validity of the evidence used to support each point. Decide whether the conclusions which are reached are convincing when applied in a general sense as well as in the specific situations described in text. This should include both the strengths and weaknesses of the claims made in the article.
 * Clearly distinguish between the views of the author and others (Northey, 2005, pp. 38-39).
 * Summarise your evaluation of the text.
 * Make a judgement about the credibility of the overall claims made in the text.
 * Evaluate the usefulness of the text in addressing the issues you wished to resolve in your review (Wallace & Wray, 2006, p. 118).
