"Offers step-by-step advice and guidance for researching, developing, and writing literature reviews. The book describes the types of literature reviews students may be assigned and provides excellent advice about time management, note taking, organizing the paper, and even provides a detailed checklist to apply to the completed paper. The [reviews] included in the book provide invaluable examples on which students can model their own projects. It is the first Pyrczak book I used, and it will remain on my required list for statistics and methods for a long time to come. This book is of inestimable value to students producing the term project for my class."
