This class is majored in Sports Business and the course is Applied Research Method. This essay is a literature review, I wrote a bibliography ahead of this paper.
So the literature review must be in the same topic with the bibliography. The teacher edited the bibliography and you must see those comments and be aware of the problems he mentioned(do not used old paper as reference, do not use the word "impact" etc...).
Use the best references in the bibliography and find some new ones.
The instruction of the paper is below, but there is a powerpoint attached and you must look at it beforehand to understand how to write this paper properly.
Very strict MLA style, you can refer to the MLA style in the bibliography but please also be aware of the problem the teacher edited. This teacher is very strict, so please do your best. I'm asking for 8 pages of this essay.
Instruction:
Literature Review builds on the Annotated Bibliography and requires each student to conduct, organize, and write a comprehensive review of existing literature around the topic. The literature review will help the student refine and develop research questions by considering and connecting existing literature.
This will involve extensive reading of scholarly and industry publications, assessing the hypotheses and insights from these articles, defining constructs and terminology, comparing various research approaches and methods, and identifying gaps in studies on the selected topic.
The literature review should include information about the following areas:
Major studies - What are the major studies in the subject area? Which ones provide a general background and which ones are focused more specifically on the problem statement?
Patterns - What common threads could be found in the existing literature? Where do studies contradict each other?
Gaps - What are the gaps in the literature? What is missing - either from content, process, or methodology?
Sampling - What populations have been sampled? What generalizations have been drawn? What other populations should be investigated?
"Kitchen Sink" research - What other research has been done in related areas? How might it affect the problem statement?
Methodologies - What are the popular or prevalent ways in which research has been done in this area?
Bibliography/References - What sources have been consulted?
The Literature Review paper should begin with an introductory section that communicates the topic and structure of the paper. Next, the literature review itself should contain clear sections and transitions between sections. Lastly, there should be a conclusion that summarizes the key insights.
This assignment will be a maximum of ten (10)-pages in length, double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, and with adherence to MLA Style. The pages of the bibliography/references section do not count toward the abovementioned page length.
The Literature Review will be evaluated for:
Focus and clarity
Support for your statements
Comprehensiveness
Logic of the argument
Level of insights about the status of the studies in the field
Lack of grammatical and spelling errors
Accuracy in using the MLA format for citations and bibliography
