literature review

You will write a short paper (3-5 pages) applying skills learned fromModules 1-4 in order to identify and describe the past literature  conducted on your chosen research topic that you will need to complete  your final research proposal.

 

In this paper, you should provide some empirical justification for  why your topic is important to study and identify and review the major  studies previously conducted to examine the topic in the past. When  writing the literature review, keep in mind that you do not want to  summarize each study, but integrate the common ideas, topics, and  results.

Your Literature Review Paper should be 3-5 pages long, and it should include all of the following topics:

Justification for why your topic is important to study.

Identify and review the past major studies previously conducted on your chosen topic.

Identify the methodological strengths and weaknesses of these studies.

A minimum of 6 references that come exclusively from peer-reviewed journals, scholarly books, and governmental records or reports.

Anything else that you feel is appropriate to defending your position.
