I think if I actually put in enough time to do the work, I can write an effective literature review. The first one I wrote was just last semester and I had no idea what the heck to expect so it completely through me into a panic. I started really early so I wouldn’t get overwhelmed and ended up getting an A which was really impressive for myself, but I think that’s because I gave myself so much time to work on it and not be pressed for it. I think that will be my biggest issue again this semester.
Actually, that’s a lie.
I think my biggest issue will be figuring out what exactly to do my literature review on. I feel like my topic (parenting techniques and effects on child development) is slightly broad compared to the articles I saw on EBSCO, but also specific because I feel like there isn’t that much research and studies done on it. I don’t want to give up on it just because I think it will be challenging, but I don’t want to get into a topic that is going to give me so much grief because I can’t find enough to make a literature review out of it.
It’s a very confusing time for me and literature reviews. Definitely a love hate relationship where I love to hate literature reviews.
