Literature Review Assignment

Due on Sunday 11 April

In this assignment, you will include an introduction and a literature review.

Introduction (1-2 pages)

The purpose of an introduction is to introduce the problem area and establish its importance. Be very specific when giving reasons for the importance of the topic. You can cite statistics or provide vivid examples. For example, you could point out the number or percentage of people who are affected by the problem you are studying. Introductions usually conclude with an explicit statement of the purpose of the research project. After I read the introduction, I should be able to answer: “why is this study needed?”

Literature Review (5-8 pages)

The purpose of a literature review is to let your reader know what knowledge and ideas have already been established on a topic and what their strengths and weaknesses are.

Read the chapter on writing literature review posted on BlackBoard.

Finish with a research question, not a conclusion

You will need to send me a copy of the paper by midnight the 11th of April. Use the APA style to cite your sources. Include a title page. Don’t forget to include page numbers. The paper must be double-spaced and typed. Writing mechanics count. If I can’t understand what you are writing, you will not receive a high grade, even if you have done the work. Please pay attention to spelling, grammar and punctuation.
