Major Causes of Prostate Cancer BRCA1 and BRCA2 Research Questions
Craft 2-3 narrow, focused research questions about acurrent topic in the natural sciences. Choose 2 scholarly and 2 populararticles on your topic. Scholarly sources are written by experts for experts inacademic journals (Journal of the American Medical Association). They tend tohave a formal, objective style and a list of references. Popular, ornon-scholarly, articles are written more for a general audience in majornewspapers and magazines (New York Times, Newsweek). They use more informallanguage and do not contain reference lists. After reading and annotating thetexts, you will write your review synthesizing the material, providing yourreader with a sense of any recent changes or setbacks. The synthesis worksheetswill help you to see similarities and differences between sources, but thepaper should not be just stating what is on the worksheet. The review shouldhave an introduction to the topic and the state of the available scholarship onit, a body in which the paragraphs are organized according to the issues orsynthesized areas that you are exploring, and a conclusion assessing thescholarship. The paper must be written in APA (American PsychologicalAssociation) style. You can find more information about writing a literaturereview on pages 182-195, which includes a sample.
