Instructor: SUNDAR Dhivya

Sundar Dhivya is a final year PhD candidate from Interdisciplinary Graduate School (IGS) Sustainable Earth. She was a part of LCC Commcube at NTU, which attempts to improve the students’ communication skills by helping them fine-tune their written and oral assignments. Her experience at Commcube, reading and tweaking a number of literature reviews and writing her own reports and assignments, have aided her in understanding and appreciating the complexities of writing a comprehensive literature review.

This workshop aims at giving participants a framework, with which to construct a good literature review, irrespective of their disciplines.  Dhivya believes that, with a clear technique, practice and patience, it is possible for anyone to present a cohesive and well-written literature review.
