[1]Writing for Science and Engineering: Papers, Presentations and Reports by Heather Silyn-Roberts, Butterworth Heinemann, 2000

The front half of the chapter is very similar with what Bodie talked in the class, the last part of the chapter provides the steps on how to accomplish a literature review, after that, there is an example of literature review.  I like the checklist best, so I would like to copy the checklist here, so that we can check it later.

Show the issues  that have been dealt with in the past?

show the issues hat need to be currently addressed?

show the correlations, contradictions, ambiguities and gaps that exist?

show the conflicts between research 'camps'?

give an analysis and commentary that makes it clear that you understand the issues?

avoid giving just an account of who did what and when?

cite the key reviews on the subject? the key papers? the more fringe papers?

(Fringe papers means the papers by the less prominent authors.)
