Today was the first day for the continuation of our research module, Mrs.Hayati went through the MIB(Module Information Booklet)with us informing us on the expectations and criteria for this module.

Lecture 02: Literature Review

A lot of us were quite confused about what direction to go in terms of our literature review section especially me.

A literature review is simply a cross-comparison of various research papers or articles in order to extract relevant themes which are relevant to your research, this process isn't that easy and that's were a literature matrix comes in handy.
