This week you will submit the Literature Review section of your research. Write a 4 pages paper addressing the summary of the evidence of the proposed study. 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.
