Four Mistakes I Made When Assigning Podcasts. [This is a guest post by Evan Cordulack (@cordulack), a Web developer and graduate student in American Studies at the College of William & Mary. He writes regularly on the Academic Technology blog. --JBJ] Several years ago I taught two upper-level American Studies seminars. Since these were the first classes I’d ever taught (aside from being a Teaching Assistant), perhaps I should have kept things simpler. Rather than assign a combination of papers and exams, I’d wanted to try something different. At first, I saw all the benefits podcasting had to offer. The reality of my podcasting experiments was a series of realizations about how I hadn’t thought these assignments all the way through.

Information Literacy Minimum Standards: Undergraduates. The Literature Review: A Few Tips On Conducting It. Printable PDF Version Fair-Use Policy What is a review of the literature?
A literature review is an account of what has been published on a topic by accredited scholars and researchers. Occasionally you will be asked to write one as a separate assignment (sometimes in the form of an annotated bibliography—see the bottom of the next page), but more often it is part of the introduction to an essay, research report, or thesis. In writing the literature review, your purpose is to convey to your reader what knowledge and ideas have been established on a topic, and what their strengths and weaknesses are.
As a piece of writing, the literature review must be defined by a guiding concept (e.g., your research objective, the problem or issue you are discussing, or your argumentative thesis). Besides enlarging your knowledge about the topic, writing a literature review lets you gain and demonstrate skills in two areas. Literature Reviews. What this handout is about.
