Journal Article
Process and Text: Teaching Students to Review the Literature
2006
Overview
Examiners of dissertations regularly have to endure “literature
reviews” that consist of extended lists of mini-summaries of books.
Indeed, quite often “dissertations” amount to little more than
a list of book-summaries masquerading as an argument. While there are
excellent courses on qualitative and quantitative methods, most students
have learnt how to conduct literature reviews exclusively through the
method of learning by doing. Ultimately, there is no alternative to this
age-old method. However, this essay is premised on the belief that a brief
attempt to understand the general function of a literature review in
political science should make learning by doing easier and more
productive.
