Well, this is a file not a literature review reply....please pull my file and
make sure that I can graduate if I pass the 5 hours I am taking AND have my
thesis accepted on time! I paid the fee, filled out the paperwork in the reg-
istrar's office and took your copy to Gail Hall. I have even hung my tassel on
the end of a stick in front of the computer! In other words, if I am NOT going
to be able to finish this semester - you probably ought to e-mail it!
We were in Robins Stadium watching the Spiders take on ECU Saturday. What a
contest! Each team trying to lose first!

Harry F. Wolcott's little book Writing Up Qualitative research gives a
concise answer to many of your questions as does his newer book
Transforming Qualitative Data. Both are from Sage Publishing.

I understand that there has been some difficulty reaching me with private
responses to my request on literature reviews at the previous address. I'm
not sure what the problem is but a second address, which really should be OK
is listed below.

hofmann_r...@msmail.muohio.edu

Also a note of clarification. I do indeed understand that there are many ways
to do reviews. My interest is in learning about the various manners in which
they are used and why they are used in specifically diffferent manners.

I have received some interesting private replies and would encourage you to
take several miutes to reply if you have either written a qualitative
dissertation or been on a qualitative dissertation committee. Rich Hofmann

It will be interesting to make decisions in this area...there are probably a nu
mber of possibilities.

It is very important to notice that your review should not be simply an explanation of what others have published in the proper execution of some summaries, but should take the proper execution of a crucial discussion, showing insight and an awareness of differing arguments, theories and approaches. It ought to be a synthesis and analysis of the relevant published work, linked at all times to your own personal purpose and rationale. https://www.affordable-dissertation.co.uk/
