Literature Review

Due April 3, 2007.

Your literature review needs to structure an account of prior art, practice, and research in such a way that your reader can readily grasp the intellectual and practical context out of which your project or research grows and can understand relevant concepts and problems. It will also help your reader understand the contribution your planned project or research will try to make.

You should not simply put your annotated bibliography into a longer prose form. Instead, the literature review needs to tell a story, one that calls on that earlier research and source material but is not organized as a synopsis of each piece.

You should plan to write 2500 to 3750 words.
