you have covered a lot of material. The assignment is preparing you for the work on the literature review. It is important for all researchers to conduct an exhaustive research on the literature related to the proposed study. For the discussion this week, think about your study and discuss your thoughts on the importance of reviewing the literature and how you will apply in your proposed study. Remember, you are expected to look for “gaps” in the literature. What are the gaps as you see in your proposed study? Do not panic. This discussion is for increasing your knowledge and helping you think about the process of a research proposal.
