categories. A suggestion is that you divide them into three to five categories.
•Conclusion: Summarize what the literature says on your topic.
Approach:
This semester, you have constructed a table of research findings of four articles that discussed research studies.
You have also critically evaluated several articles in the annotated bibliography. In this assignment you will
synthesize the ideas of several authors in a synthesis essay, or literature review.
For your annotated bibliography, you selected a topic based on your interests and, possibly, your major. You
constructed a list of 12 references and summarized and critically analyzed them in 150-200 words each.
Through this process, you may have seen patterns in the scholarly literature in the topic on which you conducted
research. For example, consider the following examples:
•You may have researched studies in criminal justice and found that there are varying opinions on
how to respond to criminal behavior among youth.
•You may have researched studies in psychology and found that counseling strategies for victims of
domestic abuse tend to fall into four categories.
•You may have researched graphic communications and discovered that the integration of graphics in
business report writing has evolved from the 1970s to the present because of advancements in
tech
