This class introduced the basics of how to write a clear, well-organized literature review. We learned how to find useful sources, spot gaps and themes, and put the review together in a way that tells a clear story. The focus was on combining research, not just summarizing it, and using outlines to help with good academic writing.
This week, I kept working on my topic by doing more research and looking into more detailed sources. After reading the literature, I finally decided on the topic and started to get a better idea of where I wanted to go with my project. I’m starting to see stronger connections and arguments coming together. I’ll talk about them more in next week’s one-on-one tutorial.
