Reference works on research methods and writing skills can also be useful.
As with any complex project, the literature review demands concentrated mental focus.
Having a plan increases productivity. Develop a three-level plan.
First, create an overall project plan and timeline.
Second, subdivide the overall plan into sections that act as intermediate goals for the project.
Finally, build daily plans from the subsections to schedule the work for each daily session.<br>
slide12. Tips Study carefully the literature review model. Memorize it if possible. Use this flow chart to keep yourself on track.
Select a topic that is important to you. A subject of true concern or curiosity will produce better work than a topic chosen for expediency.
Writing starts now! Journal ideas, questions, and your current understanding of the material. Develop a project journal to catalog your work and reflective thought as you work.
Plan every step. Going back to pick up missed steps takes far more time.<br>
