Synthesis and integration involve succinctly summarizing the main points of the chosen resources and combining the summaries into a coherent narrative. Synthesis and integration require skills that improve with experience.

 

To prepare:

· Review the Torraco article from Week 5, focusing specifically on synthesizing and integrating the literature review.

· Of the 10-12 collected resources, choose the 4 peer-reviewed journal articles that most closely address the problem chosen for your Capstone Project.

The assignment:

In 2-4 pages, respond to the following:

1. Cite the four resources you have chosen to synthesize and integrate into a narrative. (You may copy and paste the citations from the list of resources you submitted last week.)

2. Synthesize and integrate the four resources into a coherent narrative that:

· Begins with an introduction

· Includes an integrated synthesis of the resources

· Relates the narrative to your problem statement
