Question for self: Do I write a feasible grant proposal for an available grant? Do I write the ideal proposal for a grant that I’m not ready to ask for? Do I write a proposal for a research study or dissertation (being so new to the program)?
Keep it in your context. Be context-specific–this helps you keep it small.
Q: How personable? How formal does the language have to be? How many quotes?
A: A dissertation proposal, if high-level then a formal voice. If individualistic, then more informal. Justify the voice.
Nari’s methodology section — formal, gets down to the rigor, method laid out. here we are establishing credibility
Interesting question is one thing, but the study has to be feasible.
OER is not free rove this
:How do institutions reduce the the costs
:
You won’t use every article in lit review

Floral arrangements
Literature review before a study
Literature review as part of dissertation
To support argument with past research, precendents
Reveal gaps in research that your study will fill
:Show problems in existing research — be critical and show holes
Establish context osition your work in theoretical universe
Establish your background knowlege, credibility
Exhaust literature yourself, but that’s not what you report (save that for an book-length annotated bibliography)
First question: So what?
Cadence: a direction toward a final chord or goal, inevitibability
Make your lit review coincide with the introduction so that the problem of the intro is the problem (or gap) of the lit review
