This assessment consists of completing a research matrix, which is a type of literature mapping/organizing that uses a table format. This matrix includes research concepts that can be found and connected to the published scholarly research provided by your faculty. Four research articles have been selected for you to read and dissect for completing the research matrix (table). The articles for this assessment are posted in the Announcements area of the course room. In the LReview  [DOCX], a sample article is completed for you as an example; you will need to complete the matrix for the remaining four articles.
