Literature Review Plan

For this lesson’s assignment, create a PowerPoint or Kaltura presentation for your future dissertation candidate self.  The presentation is to be narrated and accompanied with visuals.  Also, submit a written copy of the outline or narration of topics/concepts covered in your presentation.  The written copy may be needed by your instructor in case your presentation is not viable.

Inclusion in your presentation
