This  discussion topics is designed to provide you the opportunity to examine  a full set of four-source, six-source, and literature review essays  written by previous students in WRTG 391.  Exploring a set of papers in  this way can help you crystallize your thoughts and hone in on your  topic as you complete your literature review for this class.

In Content, you will see a folder called sample sets of papers for WRTG 391 from previous students.

When you select that folder, you will see several sets of papers.  

Please download one set of papers.  Peruse the three papers in the set.  Then answer the following questions:

1.  Did the student expand his or her topic from the four-source essay to  the six-source essay? Or did the student narrow his or her topic from  the four-source essay to the six-source essay?

2.  Compare the four-source essay to the literature review. What challenges  do you think the student encountered as he or she proceeded from the  four-source essay to the final paper?

3.  In the literature review, did the student cite more than one source in  each category? Comment on one of the categories and describe how the  student synthesized the sources.
