Writing a Literature Review that Demonstrates the Need for your Research (In-Person Workshop)

This workshop is taught by Dr. Jane Freeman and is IN-PERSON*.
*Students should sign up for in-person workshops only if they are able to attend in person on the St. George campus at the time of the workshop.

Like research papers and theses, thesis and grant proposals require graduate students to situate their work within the context of other research in their field(s). A well constructed literature review will help you to clarify key points for your reader such as why your work needs to be done, how it is original, and why your proposed method is appropriate. In this workshop we will examine characteristics of both short and long literature reviews, common mistakes students make when reviewing research in their field, and strategies for increasing the effectiveness of literature reviews. The material covered will be relevant to the literature-review segments of proposals, research papers, and theses.

This is the 3rd of 3 workshops in the Getting Through Graduate Work: Workshops on the St. George Campus series.
