Assignment to Read a Literature Review
When I first introduce the literature review assignment, I ask the students to find, read, and analyze a literature review in their discipline. Since I can’t track down a model review for each major, I make the students do the work to find their own model of the genre. I ask them to pay attention to form, citations, authorship, etc. You can find the exact questions and instructions in the attached assignment sheet. When they have completed the assignment, we discuss some of the expectations of this genre.
This assignment is essentially a genre analysis.
