This will be the first time I will be writing a
literature review. In order to write a successful literature review, I will first
begin by doing an online research on how to write a literature review and also
compare and contrast an annotated bibliography with a literature review.
What I have learned so far about a literature review is
that I should create a theme or viewpoint about that I discovered while doing
the research, summarize each item of
the literature appropriately according to its significance, compare and evaluate each item of the
literature, and provide topic
sentences at the beginning of paragraphs and summary sentences at the end
of sections to help the reader
understand what the main issues are.
My biggest “ah ah” moment during this course was the
awareness of all the resources available to me through Brandman. I have been in
college for some time and didn’t realize that these resources even existed, resources
such as the different databases, Google Advanced, and even though I have used
the Leatherby Library, after this course I now know how to truly unleash the
power of the Leatherby Library.
