Lit Review for Thesis Part 2

"You should establish two main goals for your literature review. First, attempt to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the topic. Second, try to demonstrate that you have a thorough command of the field you are studying. Keep in mind that the literature review will provide the basic rationale for your research, and the extent to which you accomplish these goals will contribute in large measure to how well your project will be received. Note that these goals reflect the seriousness of the task you have undertaken, which is to contribute to the body of knowledge in your field. (Galvan, 2013, p. 13)
