During the span of a single semester, students work on selecting a topic, building background knowledge on that topic, searching discipline-specific databases for relevant sources, engaging with these sources, and synthesizing information from those articles into a coherent literature review that situates their proposed research project in the existing literature. The assignments in this course guide students on the initial steps of their thesis and capstone research projects and has one final concrete deliverable: a finished literature review.
