Assignment: Literature Review
In the last assignment, you identified a problem affecting your organization or community and provided background information. In this second component of your course project, synthesize research and practice to build a deeper understanding of the problem through a review of peer-reviewed journal articles.

• Analyze current (published within the past 3-5 years), relevant, peer-reviewed academic research articles that examine the identified elements.
