CSE 585 HW#2: Literature Survey Improvements
Due: September 20, 3:00pm, turnin: on canvas
This time, please turn in Source document(s) in a .zip (if the sources
are multiple files, such as LaTeX .tex plus image files, etc.) or a
.docx file.
In this homework, you should improve your literature survey (HW#1).
Fix What You Know to Fix
- You may already know ways to improve your paper;
do those things that you know to do.
- You may want to expand it.
- You may want to add sources.
- If you wrote a critique, cite your source's sources along
with the ones you can find to add.
Fix What I Ask
Fix items in your HW#1 feedback from the instructor.
Add to Completeness
In some of your cases, your scope was too narrow or your literature survey
came up with very few results. Try to at least be competitive with your peers.
Incorporate Ideas from Booth Ch. 2
- Look for problems in what you read.
- Make your own assessments of the sources' research questions and
methods of obtaining answers.
- Do your sources provide adequate motivation?
Incorporate Ideas from Booth Ch. 3
- Classify each of the cited works as primary, secondary, or tertiary
- For each tertiary source: can you upgrade to a primary or secondary?
Example: you cite an arXiv source, but it is a paper that was subsequently
published as a journal article. Replace your arXiv source in your bibliography
with the journal article which is a peer-reviewed secondary source.
