critically reviewing and summarizing the existing literature, you should be able to argue
for the significance of your proposed topic and map out some directions of how you are to
approach your proposed study.
Be sure to organize your literature review in a clear structure, with an Introduction, the
main body organized in effective themes and flow, and a Conclusion. You should identify
the research objectives of your proposed research in the conclusion. Stating the research
question(s) is desirable but not compulsory.
Any form of plagiarism will be penalized. You may result in an ‘F’ in the paper or the
course if serious plagiarism is committed.
