    He just sound like one of the best lectures. I have listened to like two Bloody lectures, and I hardly understood what t he y were on about. and he manage to explain in it in like two short videos. Now that'd how you know the difference between a good lecture who gets straight to the point and a bad and boring lecturer, who just manages to put you to sleep

    G'day, Laz. Thanks for your support. Sometimes teachers want us to seek knowledge out on our own. Look for a new video every Sunday. In the meantime, if you have any writing-related question, don't hesitate to ask. I'm happy to help. If you have any topics you would like to see covered in future videos, please let me know. When the video gets posted, I'll give you credit for the idea. ~David Taylor (Peakdavid)

    Your personal analysis is an essential part of the literature review. The lit review is held together by your insights about the relationship between the sources, their strong and weak points, and how they all add up to give us a picture of what is known about a well-defined question or area.

  • @peakdavid
    @peakdavid  11 лет назад +6

    This seems like an easy one. After your introduction paragraph (which would have the thesis, "There have been a number of important developments in ... since 1990), you would arrange the body of your lit review by development. One key development--summarize the sources that talk about that development and move on to the next development.

    • @peakdavid
      @peakdavid  8 лет назад +4

      In a lit review, you goals are to (1) read sources, (2) write summaries of each source, (3) group summaries together with an introduction and conclusion. In an essay, your goals are to (1) state an hypothesis; (2) present evidence to support the hyopthesis; (3) conclude with evaluation of hypothesis.

  • @peakdavid
    @peakdavid  11 лет назад +4

    Princess--it is your own opinion or ideas that link the sources together in a literature review, which also should be entitled a "literature analysis." In addition to pointing out how sources related to each other, you can also talk about their strengths and shortcomings, in your opinion.

    You are correct that one of the purposes of the LR is possibly to find gaps. That is not the same as presenting the argument and main points from your own paper. Your research would focus on those who have also commented on the use of war as entertainment, from Roman days to Halo and World of Warcraft.

    I would like to thank you for posting this video. this has made my life so much easier. We had to do this assignment without any true direction (due to lack of time, we've had a hectic semester with the odd weather), and I did not know how to proceed with the literature review. this is such a simple, yet clear explanation. I cannot begin to express how thankful i am.

    Q1: Any wording from a source that you use exactly must be in quote marks, even if it is cited, to avoid plagiarism. The real issue I think you are asking about is copyright infringement. No. Academic work comes under the Fair Use statute and is not an infringement.
    Q2. This is a content-related question that you should ask your professor. I cannot guide you on it without seeing more.

  • @peakdavid
    @peakdavid  12 лет назад

    Questions is more general than that. When coming up with your sections, don't think in terms of individual articles. Think in terms of groups of articles. For example, a lit review on autism: What are the effects of mercury in vaccines? Is autism a psychological or physical illness? Can brain stem cells reverse autism? Then group articles that address those questions.

    Hi peakdavid, I run a literature review 1hr education session for staff from all areas at a large city hospital and I use your videos. They are very clear and concise, with a hint of humour. BTW the original paper stating the connection between vaccines and autism has been retracted as fradulent and there is now new evidence that there is no relationship whatever. :)

    That's an easy one, zfreak. Once you have given a regular citation (Groom, 2012), in a paragraph, all you have to do is use the author's name in a sentence with no date: Groom went on to speculate that autism is caused mainly by medical malpractice when it comes to vaccines.

    Sure! Dive in. Start reading all of the academic material you can get your hands on regarding male victims of male rape. As you read through the material, sort it into categories. Then discuss what has been researched and said about the topic over the years. Point out changes in approach, point of view, research methods, etc.

  • @peakdavid
    @peakdavid  12 лет назад

    @ed064 -->> Thanks for the good words, ed. My best tip for dissertation is to first outline it as a series of individual research papers. Each of these papers will later become "chapters." After the individual papers are done, add an intro and conclusion that ties everything together. Sort of reverse engineering. Good luck!
