For Benchmark #3, please include the
most current, updated drafts of the following:
1. Your methodology section if (and
only if) your project requires one. Some of your projects do not require a methodology section. However, if you are conducting surveys, interviews, or such, please include that information here.
2. Your literature review.
All of you should have a literature review which established the foundation of your project and documents your mastery the literature related to your project.
Depending on your project, your literature review may contain as few as 20 sources or many more.
As a reminder, the
Applied Project Guide in Module 0 offered the following guidance on literature reviews:
