Final submissions must include:

articles, government websites, databases, etc), most of them should be
current (within the last 10 years)

analysis plan)

Additional components not included in page count

The draft paper does not have to be ‘complete’ or ‘good’ – the goal is to ensure you are on the
right track and to provide helpful feedback. To receive full credit, you must:
● Submit before midnight on May 1st (e.g. before May 2nd)
● On your document, write a note to me with at least 2 questions/comments.
Examples:
“Please focus your feedback on this section, I’m not sure about it”
○ “Is this part easy to understand?”
○ Did I cite this source correctly?
○ What other information should I add to my literature review?
I am uploading some documents that I have already working on in the research paper as the:
-Method Draft
– Data analysis plan
– Data review literature.

I AM UPLOADING THE RESULTS OF THE QUESTIONARE AS WELL.
FEEDBACK OF MY PROFESSOR FOR THE LITERATURE REVIEW.
Good start, Some things to keep in mind:
1) Consider moving the ‘gap in the research’ paragraph to after the literature review. That way it will transition easier to introducing your study.
2) What parts of Liu et al. (2022) were interesting/relevant? You mention it, but right now the reader isn’t very sure why.
3) I took off points for citation reasons. Make sure you 1) look over the bibliography section 2) include every source in the text that you put in the bibliography!
