4. Explain how a literature review builds off prominent, peer-reviewed work already done to explain changes in a particular dependent variable. (You may need to revisitRead: King, Keohane, Verba, and Keohane: Chapter 1)

3. Describe how your own research question is informed by a careful review of prominent, peer-reviewed literature on your dependent variable.

4. Explain how a literature review informs hypotheses generation

5. Develop a one-sentence hypothesis (or hypotheses) from ( KKV Chapter 3 pages 99-114 and note how the standards that apply to theory building are the same for hypotheses; a hypothesis is, essentially, a one-sentence theory).

6. Explain three distinct ways a scholar makes a significant contribution to an existing body of work/debate
