I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME PLEASE TRY YOUR BEST/ DON'T PLAGIARIZE / FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS/ I WILL TIP VERY GENEROUSLY FOR YOUR EFFORTS THANK YOUI COMPLETED MOST OF THE ASSIGNMENT (SYNTHESIS) YOU MOSTLY JUST HAVE TO FORMAT AND DO THE INTO/CONLUSIONYour Literature Review paper must do four primary things:Introduce your theory (your topic) and its importance to the field of communicationSummarize and/or explain the theory“Synthesize” the recent communication research on your topic/theory (I already did the synthesis I will attach it please just incorporate it into the assignment)Include a conclusion where you evaluate the research you reviewed and suggest future directions communication researchers might take in exploring the theory.1.Introduction (approx. ½ page)This part of the paper should include the following:a. Appropriate title for the paperb. Attention getter (i.e., citation that includes a statistic, a relevant current event)c. Introduction of the theory: Provide a 1-2 sentence summary of what the theory predicts and/or explains.d. Significance/importance of theory you are covering: Why/how is this theory important to communication scholars? Why/how is this theory important to the general public?Why/how is this theory important to practitioners?e. Preview Statement: Let the reader know what the sections and/or main points of your paper will be and the order in which they will occur (i.e., theoretical discussion, synthesis of research). This should be the last item, and, therefore, the last sentence in your introduction.The BODY of your paper is comprised of two major sections: 1) the theoretical discussion and 2) the synthesis of scholarship2. Theoretical Discussion (approx. 1 ½ pages)You should draw upon Griffin (and other sources) for this section of your paper.A.Summarize and/or explain the theory. What does it explain, describe, and/or predict? What are the key terms and how are they defined? What are the key concepts or principles of the theory? Are most of the studies that use this theory quantitative, qualitative, or rhetorical? This summary/explanation of the theory needs to be much more detailed than the brief summary you provided in the intro. This summary should be at least one full paragraph, but will most likely be two paragraphs.B.What are strengths of the theory (Griffin is helpful here)?C.What are weaknesses of the theory ((Griffin is helpful here)?D.What paradigm does the theory fall under?E.What are the epistemological and ontological assumptions of the paradigm?F.What communication tradition does the theory fall under?G.How does the tradition conceptualize communication?H.What type of scholarship has the theory generated? In other words, what topics and/or communication phenomenon are studied using this theory?I.Transition into the next section of the paperSYNTHESIS (I WILL ATTACH THE DOCUMENT PLEASE INCORPORATE) THIS IS THE SECTION I ALREADY DIDThe following are five potential organizing schemes/orders that you may choose from for the synthesis portion of your paper:1. Topical: Organized by main topics or issues, emphasizes relationship of issues to main phenomenon or problem2. Comparison-and-contrast (choose one):Shows how findings/results of research studies are similar to each otherShows how findings/results of research studies are different from one another3. Chronological: Organized by historical progression in terms of time to show the development or refinement of the theory4. General-to-specific: Examines broad-based research first then focuses on more specific research studies that relate to the topic5. Known-to-Unknown: Is also organized by main topics or issues that emphasize the relationships of issues to main concern or problem. Then, identifies at the end, in one sentence, what is still not known.DO NOT write a literature review that takes the form of, “Here’s one study, and this is what they found; and in another study...” Do NOT organize main topics or issues by article (one article = one topic). This will result in a failing grade, as it does not demonstrate a synthesis of the research, and your synthesis of research represents a significant portion of your grade.Make sure you do the following for the synthesis portion of your paper:A.Introduce the synthesis portion of the paper by clearly stating the organizational scheme in which it will proceed (your options are listed above).B.Preview what the main points of the synthesis portion of the paper will be (these should match up with the sub-headings in this part of the paper).C.Present your synthesis of the research, following the organizational scheme and order of main points that you said you would use, and integrating research from the (minimum) scholarly journal articles that use your theory.D.Transition between sub-sections (each main point of the synthesis is a sub-section)E.Transition to the next section of the paper (the conclusion)4. Conclusion (approx. 1 page)In this section (should be about two to three paragraphs), you will evaluate the literature you reviewed and suggest directions for future research. Address the following in your conclusion:a.Re-state the main points of your paper AND the main points of the synthesis.b.Present 2 strengths of the research studies you reviewed (this is different from the strengths of the theory!!)c.Present 2 weaknesses of the research studies you reviewed (this is different from the weaknesses of the theory!!)d.Indicate where there are gaps in the research: When you consider all your studies as a whole, what do they fail to address and/or look at?e.Suggest ideas/directions for future work (you should have at least 2 suggestions). This might include new topics, different theoretical frames as means of addressing questions that scholarship has failed to address, or different research methods/procedures. These should be somewhat detailed suggestions. Justify your suggestions—why are they important or worthwhile?f.Finally, close the paper with a concluding sentence or two so the reader is not “left hanging.” This can be linked directly back to the introduction addressing the importance of the topic or the attention getter with which you opened the paper.

throughout the term, we have considered regression models of US real GDP growth per capita based on the provided OECD data set.  For Project 1, I provided a base model of quarterly GDP growth for 1960-2019 to be estimated with the GRETL software.  Project 2 asked you to review the professional literature on events that had a major impact on GDP in the past, and this information can be used to evaluate the magnitude of the recent COVID impacts on the US economy. Finally, your goal in Project 3 was to revise the GDP growth model to incorporate the 2020 data and estimate the impacts of the COVID-induced recession and recovery.    Please note that our estimated impacts of COVID on US real GDP per  capita was measured as dollars per person.  In contrast, many of the  references that were cited for the literature review stated the impact  of previous events in percentage terms (e.g., the impact of the SARS on  some country may have been a 3.5% decline in real GDP).  For comparison  purposes, you can convert your dollars-per-person estimates into  percentages by dividing the event impact (e.g., decline by $3,000) by  the real GDP per capita value from the previous quarter (e.g., $30,000)  to yield the relative impact (e.g., 10% decline).     The purpose of Project 4 is to assemble this information as a complete  project paper.  Your final paper may include any recent modifications  to your regression model or estimation results since Project 3.  The  paper components should be assembled under APA format and ordered as:   Title page Introduction (a few paragraphs that describe the purpose of the paper) Literature Review (a written summary of findings from your outside references) Model Estimation Results (discussion of the GRETL results for your GDP growth model) Conclusions (summary of what you learned about the impact of COVID on US GDP growth) References (list of citations) Tables and Figures (GRETL output for the models discussed in the estimation results section)   The key task here is to build a paper that presents a clear and  concise story about your GDP growth results.  I will focus on the  content of your paper when assigning grades, and spelling and grammar  are secondary considerations.  Also, there is no minimum or maximum page  count for the paper, but I would expect your finished paper to be  roughly 15 pages.  The final version of the paper should be posted in  Word or PDF format, and the submission is due by 10pm Eastern on FRIDAY,  February 26.
