[email protected] English 1160: Writing and Research Literature Review Template Abstract The abstract is a brief summary of the research paper’s ideas and methods. It should contain 1) background information, or an indication of the projects, sources, and scholars that inspired your research, 2) a clear statement of the problem or research question and the resulting thesis , 3) methods of research (that is, the kind of sources are included in the project, and why those sources were included) and 4) an explanation of the urgency of this topic. Abstracts get their own page after the title page, and should be between 150 and 300 words. Jossalyn G. Larson

Decide whether your audience (professionals in your field) would be sympathetic to your essay (they already agree with your position and are looking for more support for their beliefs), wavering (they don’t yet have an opinion about your topic because they either don’t know much about it, or they don’t see the urgency of it), or hostile (they are against your position either because they are invested in the counter-position, or because they are apathetic about the topic). When you’ve decided which audience profile is most likely to represent your target audience, write an introduction in a manner that will be persuasive and engaging for that audience. Your introduction should provide an overview of the background of the topic, a statement of the problem or research question you’ve addressed, and your thesis. At some point you will also want to describe your study’s methodology and the results of the study. Studies in STEM fields and most social sciences usually expect to see “Methods” and “Results” as subheadings in the project; in the arts and humanities, those elements are usually embedded somewhere in the introduction. Keep in mind that the best research essays are written with objectivity while describing the research methods and presenting evidence, but are able to produce a strong argument in the “Conclusion” or “Discussion” section. Your Subheading (Synthesis) Your synthesis section is the body of your essay - but it MUST NOT be labeled “Synthesis.” This section is typically divided into labeled subsections, signifying the major Jossalyn G. Larson
[email protected] English 1160: Writing and Research Literature Review Template components or claims of your essay. Give each subsection a unique, descriptive, and interesting subtitle, but don’t be too campy (this is a professional audience, remember). For the majority of your Scholarly Review essay, you will be engaging in a conversation with your sources through the use of quotes, summaries, and paraphrases. (See “Seven Steps to the Synthesis Essay” or “Academic Writing as Conversation” for effective synthesis of sources.) Build this section in emphatic order (order of least emphasis to most emphasis) in a manner that shows awareness of the reader’s needs and values (pathos). Make sure that each of your paragraphs has a topic sentence, that all information in the paragraph pertains to its topic sentence, and that each paragraph is clearly tied back to your thesis. Second Level Subheadings (if necessary) You may or may not need to use second level subheadings, but if you do, make sure that you are consistent with the formatting of those subheadings. Keep in mind that synthesis paragraphs usually follow these seven steps: Start with a topic sentence, which indicates your topic and states your controlling idea. Then, lead into quote or paraphrase from Source A (using a signal phrase). Follow with analysis by explaining how that quote or paraphrase supports the author’s thesis, and how it supports your thesis. Use a sentence or two to transition from Source A and Source B - comparing or contrasting the sources is generally a smooth way to transition. Lead into a quote or paraphrase of Source B. Then, analyze Source B with an explanation of how that quote supports the author’s thesis, and how it supports yours. Finally, write a summary sentence that draws a conclusion from your analysis of the evidence presented by both sources. (APA Citation) Jossalyn G. Larson

Always try to end with a sentence or two that ties what you’ve just written back to your thesis. Discussion/Conclusion At the end of your Lit Review, you will sum up your findings in the discussion section. Aside from the introduction, this is the part of the essay that allows you to present your opinion. Approach this section as if you’re a lawyer giving a final argument at the end of a trial. Briefly go over the evidence that you’d presented throughout your essay, and then explain how that evidence leads to your conclusion. Basically, here’s what I’m looking for in this section: You should start by restating your research question, and then clearly and succinctly summarize the evidence you’ve presented in the body of the paper. Then, describe the conclusions to which the evidence has led, and explains how the evidence has led to those conclusions. Cite some studies that were most influential in leading to your conclusions. Include a description of the limitations of the study - that is to say, no one research paper can answer ALL of the questions associated with a topic, so let me know what conclusions you were NOT able to reach, and why. (For example, maybe the studies you’ve presented have noticeable confounders, or the technology you’re describing is so new that more time is needed so that researchers can conduct additional studies on the topic.) The conclusion paragraph is the last paragraph of your essay. Use your conclusion to reaffirm for your audience why the points you’d brought up in the body of your essay support your thesis (logos). Describe possible impact of the study on 1) the study’s discipline and 2) others outside of the discipline, and offer a call to action or a call for further research. Answer Jossalyn G. Larson

I aim to investigate the older generation and the latest generation of video game console operating systems, the major companies in the game industry, and how consoles evolved since the hardware and software of these consoles expanded. To identify broader trends in their development, the operating systems of each console generation were investigated. This research shows that console operating systems have evolved features comparable to their personal computer operating system, most notably generalized input-output support. It also indicates a trend towards complexity, with the operating systems taking on more roles as hardware and software became more complex. Evolution of Home Video Game Console Operating System In the home video game industry, many generations came over time. Ralph H. Bear conceded the idea of a series of home video game consoles. The very first home video game console that came out is the Magnavox Odyssey which appeared in the 1970s (Palomba, 2020). From early generations of video game consoles does not have big storage capacity, 2D graphics, and 3 channel audio. And later, from the latest generations of the consoles, OS became more like the personal computer, adopting new features like input-output capability, Bluetooth. In this study, we will be exploring the home video game consoles features, the timeline of the consoles to track the invention of the technology, details of the consoles, and compare the generations hardware and software of the consoles. Today's game consoles, such as the Xbox, Nintendo Wii, and Sony PlayStation, are all essentially computers: they have a hard drive and run on any operating system, just like a computer (Tomaselli et al., 2008). Because they are essentially computers, they store data in a similar manner. Many people use their gaming system for more than just playing games. They also use it to browse the Internet and watch movies. This information is saved on the gaming console's hard drive. This means that data, including deleted data from a gaming console, can be recovered. In the early generations of video game consoles, they have a limited number of games with simple dot graphics. Now, video game consoles run 3D polygonal graphics and run a large number of games from many studios. I want to represent how these consoles are updating to adapt to massive and software complexities. In this paper, I’ll study the development of the home video game console operating system(HVGCOS), how an operating system of a console has evolved, and investigate each generation developing an advanced level of the operating system.
