Literature Review
Due: Midnight Sunday of Unit 6
A Literature Review is an integral part of your final project. You will be using the four (4) peer review articles that you researched and summarized for Unit 4 plus additional resources as needed. Write a literature review highlighting the important trends, thresholds (tolerances), and research appropriate for your initiative. Collect data and provide a descriptive analysis of that data, which supports the need for the initiative.
This literature review should include:
· A 1-2 paragraph overview of your topic.
· 1-2 paragraph(s) explaining how each article is similar to and how each varies from the other articles.
· Include the data source for your topic.
· Your conclusion should discuss how as a whole your research supports your proposal and the topic as a whole.
