      @@peakdavid Sir, sincerely, thanks you so much for your great videos. We still need some help, I hope you could do couple of videos about: building up academic writing skills in general from scratch, how to summarize a journal article before starting writing a Literature review, how to take notes during a lecture, how to read faster, how to scan and skim through our readings, how to summarize .. etc. We as international students didn't learn such skills properly in our home countries, and we do suffer once we get such assignments. The way you teach make things extremely simple and easy. I hope you could read my comment. Thank you very much once again, we do really appreciate it thank you sir. :)

    This was an unbelievable help. I had to write a 10 page literature review in approximately 24 hours because like any good grad student, I procrastinated. What I saw as a daunting task was quickly made easier after watching this video. I broke down 10 different peer reviewed journal articles into their own segments, then combined them. Added an intro and a conclusion and voila I was over 10 pages. I might make it through grad school after all.

      Thanks, Rivas. I'm your teacher now. There is also a text version - www.peakwriting.com/litreview/Index.html If you want to check the accuracy of your citations, I recommend CiteFast: ruclips.net/video/b2sPC8zFsl8/видео.html

    I had dreaded writing literature reviews until now, but with these explanations I think I can start writing one immediately. Thanks David Taylor.

    I wish my professor would have just played this video instead of confusing us for our thesis/capstone project!

    I wish I had seen this 2 years ago! Do you have this information in a Power Point by any chance?

      This is an excellent video to get the literature review done in a short time and thank you for sharing the power point presentation. I hope that you already made videos on dissertations.
