Assignment Overview
Begin your review of the literature by constructing a research summary table. You will use the research summary table to synthesize the literature on your intervention into the Review of the Literature paper.
Assignment Requirements
The following information should be included in this section of your proposal.
- Research Summary Table
- Collect a minimum of 10 current scholarly research studies related to your proposed executive CGE project intervention.
- Use the Research Summary Table Template to develop your table. For each article/study that will be used in your paper, fill in the table in your own words.
- Review of the Literature Paper
- Examining your table column by column, identify major themes in your articles.
- Use your major themes to organize your Review of the Literature under subheadings. You are likely to have two to five themes or subheadings.
- Briefly summarize the major themes from your synthesis of the literature to end your review of the literature.
- The paper should be 3-5 pages long, not including the title page, reference list, and Research Summary Table. This is an estimate to guide you and not a strict requirement.
Place your Research Summary Table at the end of the template labeled “Appendix A, Research Summary Table.â€
Revision Process
If you do not receive at least a proficient rating in any content category, you can re-submit your assignment with revision to that content category to improve the points earned within that specific section. Please note the following guidelines:
- After receiving your assignment grade, you have one opportunity to resubmit.
- In order to resubmit, your initial submission must have been a complete assignment. Rough drafts will not be graded or allowed for resubmission.
- Only content sections that did not receive at least a proficient rating with the first submission may be revised to earn a better score in that content category. APA format and writing style will not be re-graded.
- Points possible for revised and resubmitted work will not exceed the “proficient†rubric category (84%).
- Any revision must be submitted for re-evaluation within 7 days after the assignment grade is posted. For example, if your assignment grade is posted on Friday at 12 noon MT, you have until the following Friday at 12 noon MT to resubmit any content area that did not earn a proficient rating.
- Within 7 days from your resubmission, the class instructor will post your score for the resubmitted work.
Steps to follow for resubmission of a content section within an assignment that did not earn a proficient rating on the rubric:
- Contact your class instructor privately via email, phone, or Canvas private message to inform him/her that you plan to resubmit a content section of the assignment that did not receive a proficient rating on the rubric.
- Submit the assignment in its entirety (including the rewritten content section) within 7 days of the original assignment grade being posted.
