This is the writing prompt for the capstone project in VIBS 310, the literature review. For this assignment, students are asked to choose a topic that interests them, summarize what the scientific community currently knows about that topic, and then highlight a specific unknown in the field that could be reasonably addressed with a single research study. Note that this assignment builds from the second assignment in the course, the Memo/Annotated Bibliography (http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/175473).
