Dear Debbie,

I've attached my two pennies worth. It takes around an hour but 2 hours would be better so there is more time for questions/discussions.

I find this works well if it comes before or after a session from a librarian on searching for resources.

Also, when I deliver central workshops on this (or any aspects of dissertations) we do find that having a mix of students from different courses raises so many questions about subject specific styles/ways of doing things. I tend to have an activity where they look at example reviews and just make sure I print off a range from different subject areas. The Writing for Assignments E-Library http://www.learningdevelopment.plymouth.ac.uk/wrasse/ has some good examples.

Sorry if the large file crashes all your emails!

Best wishes,

Emily

Dear Michelle
Please find attached my guide on 'how to write a lit review' - this was for trainee teachers to help them with their 'preparation for major project' module. Much is drawn from Sandra Sinfield and also from the WriteNow CETL who have excellent resources online www.writenow.ac.uk

Please feel free to use/reuse - just credit me/Anglia Ruskin University somewhere inconspicuous warm regards debbie ________________________________________

Subject: Writing literature reviews

Dear All

I am currently developing a generic workshop for our central workshop programme on writing literature reviews. The session is aimed at undergraduates who are new to literature reviews. Has anyone run a workshop on this topic and would be happy to share their materials? I am in need of some inspiration!

Best wishes

Michelle
