Instructions
This assessment consists of completing this provided Literature Review Research Matrix [DOCX]. This matrix includes research concepts that can be found and connected to the published scholarly research provided by your instructor. Five research articles related to the topic of first-generation college students and resilience at a four-year university have been chosen for you. The articles for this assessment are posted in the Announcements area of the courseroom.
The first article (Garriott, Hudyma, Keene, & Santiago, 2015) is completed for you as an example; you will need to complete the matrix for the remaining four articles.
