Literature review for a research Proposal assignment
Research Proposal Draft
This week you will submit the Literature Review section of your proposal. The review of literature is a critical, analytical summary and synthesis of the current knowledge of your research topic. Thus it should compare and relate different theories, findings, etc., rather than just summarize them individually.
The following resources will help guide you (in addition to our course textbooks):
Guidelines for writing a literature review
The Writing Center at UNC-Chapel Hill
