Assignment 3: Literature Review
Literature Review: Using your selected literature (the 5 articles you selected and annotated
in the previous assignment), expand the writing, and draft your literature review. Each
review should describe the strengths and weaknesses of the study your reviewed and the
contributions to the literature the study has made. Each review should be seamlessly
integrated and chained to the other pieces of literature you selected. A literature review
compares and contrasts the characteristics of each study while building the foundation for
your study. You write a synthesized narrative in a scholarly voice.
Your concluding paragraph will summarize the relatedness of the five studies and their
contributions and how they contribute to the foundation of which your analysis will rest.
Your literature review is a seamless narrative document consisting of paragraphs
organized around topics (sub-problems) of your research not around authors in any
particular order. It should not read as a laundry list and must include each citation of the
five (5) journal articles as a reference/bibliography section at the end. Please use APSA
format style.
This assignment is typically 2 pages long.
