Literature Review

Your dissertation literature review base is a brief review of the literature. This brief review of the literature will eventually be incorporated into Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of your dissertation research document. The Literature Review Base should not be a list of one article summary after another.  Rather, use learnings and instructor feedback from Lessons 3 through 6 to present an integrated critical analysis and synthesis of credible literature pertinent to your research area that you have discovered to date.

Instructions

1. Revisit resources from previous lessons in this course that you feel would be beneficial as a reminder or ones that, perhaps, you did not have the opportunity yet to read.
2. Revisit your literature search strategy and synthesis matrix.
3. Consider your instructors’ feedback to previous assignments.
4. Develop your Signature Assignment using the sections in this lesson’s discussion.

Length:  10 pages.  The recommended length for this lesson’s assignment is, as noted for the previous two assignments, dependent on the number and types of sources that you currently hold.

Additional Resources

Your literature repository (and reference list) should include a minimum of 25 works dedicated to your research study.  These works include those that you have acquired throughout this course.
