Are you procrastinating on writing a literature review at this very moment? If so, this is the book for you. Writing often causes trepidation and procrastination for engineering students—issues that compound while writing a literature review, a type of academic writing most engineers are never formally taught. Consider this workbook as a \"couch-to-5k\" program for engineering writers rather than runners: if you complete the activities in this book from beginning to end, you will have a literature review draft ready for revision and content editing by your research advisor.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSo, You Have to Write a Literature Review\u003c\/i\u003e presents a dynamic and practical method in which engineering students—typically late-career undergraduates or graduate students—can learn to write literature reviews, and translate genre-based writing instruction into easy-to-follow, bite-sized activities and content. Written in a refreshingly conversational style while acknowledging that writing is quite difficult, Catherine Berdanier and Joshua Lenart leverage their unique disciplinary backgrounds with decades of experience teaching academic engineering writing in this user-friendly workbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Note from the Series Editor ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Authors xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Book xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow to Use This Book xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Why Is Writing So Hard? 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOvercoming Barriers to Writing and Making Time to Write \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Writing as a Cognitive, Social, and Affective Activity 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Time Management, Self-Discipline, and the Writing\/Research Timeline 4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Accountability Is an Essential Part of Writing 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3.1 Shut Up \u0026amp; Write Groups 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3.2 Accountability Partners 6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3.3 Schedule Your Writing in a Scientific Way 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3.4 Deliberate and Distributed Practice 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3.5 Bribery 8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 What Is the Point of a Literature Review, Anyway?! \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e11\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 The Literature Review Serves as an Argument to Establish a Gap in Prior Research 12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 The Literature Review Establishes the Author’s Credibility 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 The Literature Review Prepares Readers to Interpret and Appreciate Your Findings 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.4 Envisioning Your Audience 15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.5 Deliberate Language Choices Support the Functions of the Literature Review 16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReference 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Gathering and Storing Literature \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e19\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.1 What to Cite?
