Details:
Synthesis is the process
of creating a new idea by analyzing multiple disparate concepts or notions to
discern the common thematic or connecting principles among them. Synthesis of
research is not a single innate skill. Rather, it is a process learned through
time and practice. In this assignment, you will engage in the first parts of
the synthesis process: annotating and outlining.
