For your initial post, you will continue to build the literature review matrix that you began in the NU740 course. During the first half of this course, you will be conducting a comprehensive literature review.
Once all the relevant studies have been gathered, reviewed, abstracted, and critiqued, you will be analyzing the data and synthesizing it into Chapter II of your Scholarly Practice Project paper. Your goal will be to review and enter 25 studies into your Literature Review Matrix, due in Week 11. A manageable goal would be to review and enter around three studies per week.
