Question 13

A strong literature review not only plays a foundational role for setting up a research proposal and/or dissertation but also plays an important role in the results and discussion section that is presented after the data has been collected and analyzed.  Answer the following questions in a minimum of 300 words.

Why is the literature review a needed piece of a research proposal? How can a weak literature review diminish a research proposal?

Once the data has been collected and you are moving into the completion of the research report, how will you continue to pull from your research literature review in the results and discussion section of your report?

All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
