Assignment:
Literature Review- Part 2: Full Summary
For this week’s assignment, you will read and summarize significant research related to the approved topic for your capstone study. This review should be based on the resources from your annotated bibliography, as well as any new resources you have found since. Based on your assessment and reflection of the annotated bibliography list you provided last week, some of the references might not be useful; therefore, do not include those sources in your literature review for this week’s assignment. Only focus on legitimate and valuable leads that provide substance and benefits directly related to expanding and deepening your understanding of the approved topic that you want to investigate fully over the next seven weeks of this course.
The review should not be a disjointed collection of individual summaries, but instead it should be one single summary of all the research on the topic. Pick 5-7 of the best resources you have collected, either from your annotated bibliography or other research efforts, and read every one thoroughly. Then, write a holistic, seamless review of the research on your approved topic. In other words, what have others discovered about your topic? Literature reviews should comprise the following elements (http://guides.library.ucsc.edu/write-a-literature-review):
The literature review should be 1500-2000 words and should follow APA writing style. Clearly label the sections of your paper so that the instructor knows exactly what topics you are addressing in your discussion. The title page and references page do not count towards the minimum word amount. Only credible, peer-reviewed, scholarly resources should be used.
