How has writing a literature review effected the way you might do research in the future?
Did you find any part of the literature review writing process difficult?
How has your understanding and knowledge of the topic of your research question expanded due to the analysis you did in writing your literature review?
What questions do you feel are still left unanswered about your research (it is alright to still have unanswered questions, since research is an ongoing endeavor)?
I had never heard of a literature review prior to this assignment. It will help me a lot in future writing assignments. Looking this in-depth into how all of the important information is related and much of it uses some of the same research to reach their conclusions. It allowed me to look beyond the surface of the data and really understand how it was all connected. The process came easy to me. Much of the information was sitting there you just need to understand how to link it all together.
The understanding I have for my topic is getting to be solid. I was able to find out how many factors influence the housing market. Previously, I had a small idea of how it was linked to everything but not to the extent that it is. I still have a few questions. Mostly about the most recent changes that have happened at the government level of encourage more lending by financial institution and to entice people to build new homes.
