Hello RSCH 860 Learners,
We are going to take the annotations to the next level by expanding them and synthesize the key ideas. In Units 6 and 7, you learned how to complete basic annotations. In Units 8 and 9, you will learn how to complete expanded annotations. What makes expanded annotations different is that they emphasize synthesizing key ideas that you have discovered in your literature sources.
Within the Discussion Board (DB) area, focus on the following in 500700 words:
- Compose an explanation of what the concept literature synthesis means.
- Defend the role of literature synthesis in research and why is it important for scholar-practitioners to master.
- Elaborate for your colleagues your appraisal of how literature synthesis pertains to your use of source materials that will be integral to your dissertation study.
Be sure to cite properly APA-formatted scholarly sources to help you define and explain literature synthesis and its importance to scholarly research.
Provide scholarly sources to support your discussion as appropriate. Your responses should be the product of your own critical thinking and deductive reasoning.
