A literature review is a comprehensive survey, embodying a critical evaluation of works
previously published on a given topic. The intention is to demonstrate a clear awareness and command of the available material, and to pinpoint, trends, debates and possible gaps in the research. This course is designed to enable an individual to develop these essential skills. We will examine the different types of literature review: how to handle sources; analyse ideas; organise and plan; as well as write and edit the finished article. It should appeal particularly to those engaged in writing dissertations, reports and/or research papers.

This class will take place on QUB campus
