I have never written a literature review prior to this assignment so it was interesting to say the least. The two examples we were given to use as references helped a bit, but I did not really know where to start. Finding three sources to use were the easiest part of this assignment because the CUNY databases automatically gives us access to the full academic articles without having to pay for it. All I had to do was type in “nutrition advertising” into the search bar and multiple scholarly articles popped up that I could use and all I had to do was choose one.

When it came to composing the actual literature review, to be quite frank, I am unsure on if I did it right or not. I used the two examples we were given to the best of my ability but for some reason it did not help me therefore I wrote more of an essay rather than a review of the articles, comparing them. I tried my best, so I am hoping I did it correctly. Next time for the next essay, I hope we can have more time for peer review. There was one designated day for peer review so hopefully with the next essay, there could possibly be another one, but I am not quite sure how that would work since classes are online now.

The hardest part was just trying to figure out if I was doing it correctly with very little assistance because there were no in person classes. It was also due during a hectic time with the current situation of the world so that made it a little bit harder.
