For this last week, which is week 8, you will put all of
your work together in a 2-3 page literature review. This work will analyze the
sources you have selected to best represent your research question. Please do
not just recycle your old papers. While it is ok to specifically select citations and
their corresponding passages, I would prefer you select new material more
closely aligned with your new research abilities.
You are able to re-use up to four of your previous citations, but I would encourage new information and paragraphs not just reusing your all your old assignments.

Not a research
paper. Focus on the main articles in your field and how they assist your
work. 2-3 page literature review, double
spaced.
Short for a
reason focused on the what has been done in the field, who is the top players
are and what still needs to be done. (badke, 2011).
What is the
best work for the topic or issue?
The condensed
style should help you to focus answer your question and prove to me as the
instructor reader how the articles assisted to answer your final paper.
6 sources
required three of which are journals. You can use up to four of your previous
articles.
