LITERATURE REVIEW
The literature review should:
compare and contrast different authors' views on an issue
group authors who draw similar conclusions
note areas in which authors are in disagreement
highlight exemplary studies
highlight gaps in research
show how your study relates to previous studies
show how your study relates to the literature in general
conclude by summarizing what the literature says
Points to Consider
Use evidence. Your interpretation of the sources must be backed up with
evidence to show what you wrote is valid
Be selective. Take only the most important points from a source.
Quote sparingly. Only quote short quotes like terms or phrases or something
you just cant rewrite in your own words.
Summarize the information from the sources. These summaries must be tied
together with your ideas.
Start and end the paragraphs with your ideas
Use in-text citations to credit authors ideas. Include a works cited page.
Check for plagiarism
Avoiding Plagiarism
Dont copy any text from the source without quotation marks.
Make sure to credit all ideas you got from the source whether it
is facts, quotations, summary or paraphrasing. Use in-text
citations.
Improper paraphrasing is considered plagiarism.
Self-plagiarism: You cant submit work you have submitted
before to another class. Even if it is your work, it is still
plagiarism.
