Your instructor will enter your score in the rubric. You will be able to map your score for each application criterion directly to the application. Your instructor is required to give you embedded feedback for any areas where you did not receive full credit! Please contact your instructor regarding “any” criteria where you were deducted points and there was no embedded feedback for that area in the application assignment portion of the document.

It is strongly recommended you review the Week 8 Application Rubric (located at the bottom of the week 8 assignment template) prior to starting the assignment. Reviewing the rubric requirements will aid you in understanding the content and grading requirements for this assignment.

14 – Review of the Professional and Academic Literature

 

This is the section where you will report the literature regarding your theoretical/conceptual framework. The approach to this section may vary by authors’ specific purpose. For example, let’s assume your study will be grounded in transformational leadership theoretical or conceptual framework; that is you are examining or exploring your phenomenon through a leadership lens. You want to report on extant research that was grounded in transformational leadership theoretical/conceptual framework. You would want to report on the literature that is as close to your topic/phenomenon as possible. In addition, you will want to include the literature for any other key variables if you are conducting a quantitative study. A basic outline is presented at appendix A.[2]

 

Critical analysis and synthesis of the literature will be an important piece of the review. The review of the literature is not to be a regurgitation of what you have read. It is also not to “teach” about a topic; rather, it is to show your mastery of the research on your topic and provide a comprehensive up-to-date “literature review” on your topic.  Start with an introductory section and then report the literature. This should be an exhaustive review of the literature using the chosen theoretical/conceptual framework and consist of the key and recent writings in the field.  Repeat this approach if there are any additional theories. In addition, there must be a critical analysis and synthesis for each.

[1] The average length of substantive literature review is between 30 to 40 pages (25 pages minimum). However, the need for depth and breath is required. See example at Appendix B and visit the Writing Center at: http://writingcenter.waldenu.edu/50.htm for more information on writing the literature review.
