Not sure what a literature review is or how to structure this particular chapter of your dissertation? In this session, we will examine the function of a literature review and the importance of showing where your own piece of research fits into the overall context of research in your particular field. In particular, we will focus on the importance of ensuring your literature review is both evaluative and critical. You will be given some samples of writing and be required to identify the typical conventions for paragraph structure, tense usage and signposting language.

This session will run Thursday 23 May 10.00-12.00, Room M1
