How do I write my literature review?
Answer
The Academic Success Center offers Synthesis and Analysis, Analyzing Research, and Synthesizing Research group sessions that will assist you with understanding the process behind searching, reading, analyzing, and synthesizing research into common themes. Log in to the ASC's Coaching Scheduler to reserve your seat in these multimodal group sessions.
A written resource is available in the Academic Success Center in the Synthesis and Analysis guide. Download the Synthesis Matrix (under Key Resource) to assist you in keeping track of your sources and finding common patterns/themes for your literature review.
