Review Requirements
General criteria: Overall, your audience will find the review informative. The review will show your understanding of the complexities of the topic. The material you use to write the review will be relevant, recent, and at a post-secondary level of detail/depth on the subject.
Your Literature Review will include appropriate sections, such as
• Abstract (Summary)
• Introduction (background) and Methods (where you found your research)
• Discussion
o Discussion section needs to be broken into sub-sections (see below) • Conclusion.
Use headings for each major section of the paper as well as descriptive/informative subheadings.
Your Discussion needs to be broken into sub-sections. These sub-sections are not the titles of your articles! From your research, choose three or four logical sub-sections and then group your articles under the sub-sections accordingly; for example:
(Sub 1) The history of this nation Articles 1, 2
(Sub 2) The turning point in global relationships Article 3
(Sub 3) Language and communication styles Articles 4, 5, 6
(Sub 4) The treatment of women and gender issues in contemporary society Articles 7, 8
Etc. (this is just an example; you will choose your own sub-topics)
Your Conclusion will follow logically from the Discussion. It must demonstrate critical reading and writing: you will not simply summarize the findings, but instead show critical analysis of the research and illustrate that you have thought about/analyzed the research and its overall findings.
The style of your paper will meet professional standards and be appropriate for your audience. It will
• be written in well-structured paragraphs
• have clear, correct, concise sentences
• use consistent “person” and “voice”
• have professional word choice
• use punctuation correctly and be grammatically correct
• avoid plagiarism of any kind, including avoiding copying word-for-word without quotation or
copying the author’s abstract
• include a list of references in the MLA style.
