​Tired of reading literature reviews that lack synthesis?
​
​You're not alone

Writing Remarkable Literature Reviews is a unique 9-unit digital curriculum that provides specialized instruction in reviewing literature for the thesis or dissertation. This curriculum can be integrated into an existing course or offered as a stand-alone resource.

The course teaches students how to organize, "process," and write about their sources so they can:
​
• Show synthesis and evaluation
• Identify the gaps in the literature
• Connect the literature to the proposed project

What students have said about the Writing Remarkable Literature Reviews

​I feel as though the literature review is the hardest portion of the thesis to write. I was struggling to synthesize the research as opposed to just making a laundry list of references/information. I now have concrete prompts I will be able to go back to time and time again to help me reflect on materials as I read.

The biggest challenge was that I felt like each source led to five others and I was overwhelmed. The most useful aspect of this course was learning how to process the literature. I feel more confident about completing my literature review now.

I feel much more relaxed and in control. I'm no longer anxious about missing things and feel I'm running the literature review rather than it running me.
