In essence you look for dichotomies, links, contradictions, etc. between articles and sum up what the author is saying.
So:
In the literature it is recognised that a dichotomy exists between x and y because x is not prominent in y. Kat92(2013) suggests that x has traditionally...
Analysis and Discussion
This is where you ‘bring it all together’. You interpret and analyse the results explaining why the results came out the way they did, and what this means in regard to the research question/s or hypothesis. Some of your results and findings may support your hypothesis...
Case studies/ observation are subjective and do not provide enough evidence to apply the results to the general population. Also, your bias may transcend into the final results which can skew them.
Surveys are in-personal and based on scales like "strongly agree" "strongly disagree" etc. Most...
Unfortunately I don't; besides it all depends upon the marker and the set criteria as well.
From memory I think a couple of the IRPs here: http://www.boredofstudies.org/view.php?course=35 included a report if you wanted to have a look. They may not be the greatest in the world but they provide...
As Drifiting has pointed out ATAR calculators and scores at the end of the day are not the end of the world! There are always going to be other pathways to get where you want to go in life. :)
If you are considering sociology or the likes perhaps stick with it, as CAFS does provide a good...
I think the question you really need to ask is what sort of job are you looking at doing in the future? If it involves some form of community or government interaction, I would say perhaps stick with CAFS. Otherwise, if you believe that you can devote that time to your other subjects and ace...
That's certainly one of her poems. Although, there are many others that have eluded my memory!
@ Essayqueen, I do agree, I was just listing some of the ones I could recall as there have been a lot of these posts lately. :)

I have just updated my guide- http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=312407. Let me know how this goes! :) Also, I am glad to hear that you were able to find some handy journals to support your topic.
How to Structure a Literature Review-
A literature review gives an overview of the area of study: what has already been said on the topic; who the key writers are; what the prevailing theories and hypotheses are; what questions are being asked; and what methodologies are appropriate and useful...
Okay my thoughts for the ones you asked for:
15- A (as the others don't detail housing)
17- B (as a case study compiles the research from different sources and the publication can vary over large lengths of time)
18- D (would be the better response in my opinion)
20- Can’t answer as there is...
Yes you can still go about it. Although, you need a much larger spread of people to survey, 13 people is not enough to gain an insight into the diversity of the population.
Page 27 of the syllabus could help. Essentially, you would look under section 8.2 and 8.3 of the syllabus.
Maybe you could draw upon the dotpoint of diversity i.e. you could perhaps say: Teenage Pregnancy highlights the diverse nature of family units along with their functions within...
It's entirely up to you which way you go with the IRP- what do you feel most comfortable with?? With any IRP topic there will always be some form of bias to contend with and you should indicate this to the marker when writing about the methodologies that you utilised.
