Reflective Analysis
Order Description
Context:
Following from the first assignment in which the student has explored classical market concepts and applied them to the broader concepts of labour and work, this
second assignment focuses on identification and management of market types as well as the impact of disruptive technologies on the future of work. As in the first
assignment, to do this effectively, the student will engage in deep, critical thinking on both technical and high-level issues as they demonstrate a thorough
understanding of market types, appreciate the nature of disruptive technologies and then apply research and synthesis skills to project a likely future of work and how
the student will fit into that future.
Instructions:
Students are expected to explore the intersection between technology and social networks. Students should carefully define key terms in order to produce a thorough
analysis and show how the use of technology may disrupt traditional macroeconomic theory in practice. The report will be an amalgam of reflective analysis and
comprehensive research.
The report is to be limited to 3000 words, exclusive of formal document sections (i.e. title page, executive summary, table of contents, references list, appendices,
etc.), citations, tables and graphs. Students should submit one file through Turnitin.

There are a number of forms the report could take. The exact form the report will depend on the additional research the student will undertake beyond the subject
materials; students should aim for the demonstration of deep learning, founded on theory through thorough reading of scholarly literature, rather than on getting any
aspect of the brief ‘right.’
Students should commence this assignment early, keep regular backups and ensure they submit the correct, final version. Students should use this brief as the
instruction set for the assignment requirements. Additionally, the rubric below can be used to describe what unacceptable, functional, proficient, advanced and
exceptional assignments might look like according to the criteria in the leftmost column of each row.
As this is a Masters level subject, students are expected to engage with high-quality academic journal articles, using the Torrens University Library. Textbooks,
Wikipedia and, in general, anything that can be obtained through an open Google search page are considered supplementary material, unbecoming of a postgraduate.
