Author Information Description Ask any student what area of coursework they find the most problematic and they will usually say it is the literature review. Worse still, in most pieces types of coursework, it is this area that carries the most marks. The student can seek to maximise their marks; but only if they submit a quality and academically written literature review. This guide will show you how. The guide will show the student how to compile a literature review by not only using existing articles, but also, how to carefully and cleverly changing words round (something many students usually have difficulties with). It will also show you how to use existing research to back up your own assertions; a method I call plugging. As any student should know, lecturers are not impressed with literature reviews that are purely descriptive. Instead, they want you to review and CRITIQUE the literature on the chosen subject. This guide will show you exactly how it’s done, and done so cleverly that it will gain you the best possible marks. I have enclosed extracts from two journals on the popular topic of online retailing and shopping. I will show you how to combine both articles and in doing so, demonstrate how to: O Change words round whilst not altering what is being said; O Use big and impressive academic words that lecturers like; O Use existing research to back up your own assertions thus demonstrating that you have O attempted a critique of the literature you are reviewing; O Change whole paragraphs round whilst not altering its academic context; O Add additional words of your own into original text from articles whilst not amending O what the author is trying to assert; and most importantly of all O Present the finished review neatly, eloquently and elegantly. In short, by comparing the original reviews to the guide’s revised version, and employing the technique I have shown you, you will never have to worry about compiling a quality literature review ever again. Irrespective of word length, academic level or subject. Most students find examples to be the best method in terms of relating to understanding guidelines, hence the reason why an actual yet comprehensive example has been offered in this highly useful book in an area many students find problematic.
