Introduction
Writing a literature review is challenging but an essential component of a research paper or academic project. The purpose of the course is to help students create a well-structured literature review by organizing multiple sources effectively, analyzing information critically, synthesizing information constructively, and presenting information coherently. To ensure comprehensive research, students will be exposed to various databases such as Google Scholar, JSTOR, PubMed, or academic libraries specific to the field of study.
The course content will enable the students to create an annotated bibliography where they can summarize each source’s main arguments, methodologies used, key findings, and relevance to the research objectives. It will also make the students adept at using citation management software like EndNote or Zotero which allows them to create libraries, tag sources with keywords, and generate citations in various citation styles which will streamline the process of organizing and citing sources, saving time and effort. By the end of the course, the students will be well-equipped to tackle this challenging task with confidence and contribute meaningfully to accomplish the research work.
