So let’s say you presented your proposal to the organization where you would like to conduct your capstone project, and they agreed! Now you must submit a formal literature review for your Capella class to justify the topic to your instructor. While professionals tend to want the highlights of the key points, academics want all the details so they can critically evaluate your work. This is a scholarly paper.
You can use the 10 articles that you located for earlier assessments. For this paper, however, you should add in a scholarly theory that helps make sense of the research.
Your paper should include:
Title page.
Introduction.
Explain the topic and problem.
Literature review.
Include subsections.
Theory.
Describe the theory.
Apply theory to literature review.
Project proposal.
In your paper:
