Conversation with Jeremy Knox, 3 Jan 2012

Last Friday afternoon I caught up briefly with Jeremy to get his thoughts on preparing a lit review, based upon his own experience of completing the MSc dissertation. Here are a few of the key points:

• The lit review is basically about showing that I've done the key reading within the field
  
• It would be appropriate within the lit review to define key terms related to my research project e.g. multimodality

Jeremy has since sent me a link to his dissertation, although he notes that his entire dissertation was a lit review i.e. entirely desk bound research based upon the theory.
