Précis/summary of the critiqued case study
The case study discusses the latest developments in the UK’s housing market. Evidently, UK has experienced remarkable changes in its housing markets in the last decades due to numerous factors including immigration. The trend has generated evenhandedness for house owners.
Nonetheless, it has made the house ownership unaffordable to the common people in UK. The demand for such houses has increased greatly due to the increasing population contributed by immigration factors. The demographic changes on housing demands have equally contributed to this trends as demonstrated by the paper (Chamberlin, 2009).
Consequently, the increase in the housing costs has prompted house debts leading to considerable inflation rates and drop in the UK’s economy. The case study uses statistics to prove this point broadly. Precisely, the case study presents numerous ideas on the recent UK’s housing market trends.
Assumptions made in the paper
Evidently, the author assumed that this case study would not require a comprehensive abstract. This was a critical provision when considered comprehensively in the context of writing and evaluation of academic papers. The assumptions made in this article are both implicit and explicit in nature. Other assumptions regard the structure of the paper, contents, readability and format used to deliver the intended message.
The paper has also assumed the quantity of data analyzed (Chamberlin, 2009). It recognizes the available data to be enough for the case study not considering that the kind of case it addresses demand a comprehensive data gathering to attain an explicit inference.
Nonetheless, they are not elaborate enough; hence, they cannot give enough information to generate a considerable conclusion (Chamberlin 36). There is also assumption in the data literature review among other provisions.
Assessing the validity of the assumptions made
There are various aspects/assumptions of this case study that can be subjected to evaluation. This helps in determining its clarity, appropriateness, authenticity, and credibility in the contexts of case implementation, compilation, analysis, and presentation of the findings in regard to the discussed topic. Evidently, the case study presented has a brief abstract as assumed by the author.
However, a comprehensive abstract is a very important requirement in any case study since it provides a broad overview of the conducted research. Another notable consideration is that the paper does not have a distinctive introduction section in its entire contents.
It is crucial to provide an accurate introduction of a case study. This section details how the paper is structured, its major contents, genuineness, and appropriateness in order to prepare the reader/ audience for what is contained in the paper.
Although the paper gives a significant overview on the available and relevant literature concerning the impact of recent UK’s housing market trends, its content and depth are still debatable. The author assumed that the information he had provided was enough to address the concerned issue.
From various aspects, the paper do not exhaust the literature that exist in the UK housing market, the trends, detailed immigration impacts, and other important factors in this very context. Connecting the two variables in the context of case analysis and other provisions is significant in case analysis.
Although the case study given has tried to provide the basic and relevant information regarding the topic, it equally needs to elaborate further on the issue. Precisely, there is an overview of the case; however, the sections could have had some deepness if possible.
Adequate literature overview establishes other research provisions, pinpoints the knowledge gaps, and helps in setting appropriate research questions and objectives among other better provisions. Hence, the research could have provided a detailed literature review that cuts across all components of the selected topic.
Evidently, the paper has no visible terminology sections to explain further on the technical terms. May be, it has no significant technical terms in its contents thus indicating why it does not have the terminology section. Whichever the case, the part is quite important for referrals and explanation of the technical components of any case paper (Chamberlin, 2009). Additionally, there are limitations and strengths of the studies discussed.
The paper scrutinizes the recent undertakings in UK’s housing market. The limitation of this is that the research carried out might not provide the exact picture on the ground since it only used compiled statistics to emerge with its findings.
The study has adopted a descriptive approach; however, the information presented still lacks numerous components to help in its justification. It could have incorporated some critical perspectives to help in the evaluation of the entire case context. Evidently, there are procedural gaps apparent in the study.
The quantity of data analyzed seemed enough; however, they are not elaborate enough; hence, they cannot give enough information to generate a considerable conclusion (Chamberlin 36). Precisely, the sampling method is not comprehensive enough to make the conclusion entirely convincing. Agreeably, the case methodology is precisely described; nonetheless, it requires other aspects that can make it more descriptive and genuine.
It is important to state clearly how the study was structured, data collection tools, and other prominent provisions in this very context. The methodology in this case is quite brief.
The paper has no extensive provisions required in the methodology context especially in its contents and structure. Additionally, the data gathering and analysis techniques/tools are quite transparent and visible as expected. Critically, the two sections require an elaborated applicability and directness.
Notably, the data sets being used in this context are clear and coherent. The research in the case has utilized a survey method and extensive literature review to augment the entire methodology. Notably, the researcher uses two methods of data collection tools. It is from this context that the case study gains its trustworthiness as well as the authentication of its findings.
Sufficiently, the case reveals significant information on why it was conducted and other characterizing features. Nonetheless, there are some gaps still evident when the entire case provisions are scrutinized critically.
While considering the writing style, it is clear that some parts of the case study such as the data analysis and project plans are not consistent enough. This might disfavour the entire contexts of the case despite the efforts taken to emerge with such papers.
Evidently, the paper has endured to successfully demonstrate its ability to move beyond descriptive provisions by critically analyzing the collected data. However, this provision is not comprehensively evident in the paper. This forms a considerable challenge to its contents. The presentation of arguments fronts some challenges in the context of understanding and comprehensibility.
Despite the critical presentation of the investigated information, the paper still requires the aspects of coherency, structuring, and enhanced presentation of ideas. There are numerous unsupported statements in some parts of the case study. In fact, the paper clearly quotes some areas that have not been explored clearly. The trend is quite supportive; nevertheless, some additional researches are demanded.
Additionally, there are some figures and graphical data presentation in this paper; however, the paper generally presents the already concluded findings. It is crucial to provide the exact data analyzed in order to validate the case findings. Describing the methodology does not refer to the actual data collection techniques from the field. This is an important provision when considered decisively.
Unfortunately, there are limited supportive quotes to make most of the statements written in the document convincing. Quotations help in verifying the data and information provided. The research never assumed any spontaneous/reflexive approaches. Concurrently, most parts of the research presentation have included the aspects of interpretation. However, this was not exhaustive enough to give more information on the matter.
Conclusion
Despite the negative assumptions noticeable in this paper, it is agreeable that it has no exaggerated claims in its contexts. This constitutes what is likeable about the paper (Bookstaber, 2011). Equally, it presents its ideologies with precision and the demanded appropriateness. What is dislikeable in it is that it has some advanced theories for common readers.
Additionally, it misses some important aspects of a case paper Nonetheless, interpretations are consistent with the results and consistently linked to the background of the case. Contextually, the case study has no official conclusion provisions; however, it is possible to conclude its main ideologies through viable mechanisms. Additionally, although the case study has nothing quite innovative, its theoretical provisions are consistent.
