Literature review workshop hosted on campus

As part of the Savvy Scholar Workshop series, Wichita State students, faculty and staff were invited to attend the “Writing an Awesome Literature Review” to learn both the basic and complex steps of writing a literature review. The hour-long event took place on Sept. 13 in the Ablah Library to make it accessible yet private to attendees. Participants walked away with newfound knowledge on a variety of literature review writing steps, such as conducting comprehensive research and how to present findings.
