Post and Comment on Discussion Board #6
- Post due Thursday 10/8
- Comment due Sunday 10/11
For this week’s post, please analyze the two sample literature reviews you read. For each literature review, answer the following questions (same as above):
- What is the thesis, research question, or problem that the literature review addresses? (What is the purpose of the literature review?) Be specific- quote the article.
- What do the authors do? What type of literature do they review? Do they review literature in a particular field or discipline?
- What does the literature review find? You may want to look at how it is organized (e.g. headings) to analyze the different themes or areas of information that the review contains.
- What are the gaps or next steps, according to the author?
