As a guide, you may build your Table of Contents and write your literature review based on one or more of the following organizational patterns:

  • Chronological Patterns.
  • Sequential Patterns.
  • Spatial Patterns.
  • Compare-Contrast Patterns.
  • Advantages- Disadvantages Patterns.
  • Cause-Effect Patterns.
  • Problem-Solution Patterns.
  • Topical Patterns. The link between clear, logical organization and effective communication is powerful, both for the "sender" and the "receiver." ("Pattern of Organizations," n.d., para.1)

Submission Instructions: 

You are to submit your Table of Contents, Introduction, Literature Review ranging from 7 – 15 pages in length with no less than 5 peer reviewed references as a complete paper(depending on the topic, your professor may afford you some flexibility). Upload the assignment as a MS Word document attachment, so Turnitin may assess your matching percent. Remember to keep your matching percent to about 10% or less (from direct/in-direct quotes) by paraphrasing your sentences instead of cutting and pasting.

IMPORTANT: The paper must meet the APA format criteria established by the American Psychological Association. The assignment allows resubmission primarily for you to assess your matching percent. If your matching percent is too high after the first submission, paraphrase to reduce your content matching percent to about 10% or less (from direct and in-direct quotes) and resubmit your paper.
