Write a 5-6 Literature Review
section for research proposal. Each week you have been adding to your growing
body of evidence to support your problem and proposed innovation to address the
problem. The review of literature is a critical, analytical summary and
synthesis of the current knowledge of your research topic. Thus it should
compare and relate different theories, findings, etc., rather than just
summarize them individually.
