Synthesis Analysis is the precursor of synthesis Synthesis asks you to Perform these analysis operations on two or more texts Identify and group textual components that share common attributes Repackage these components in a new composition If your professor expects you to draw upon multiple sources for your paper, then you know you will be writing a synthesis.

Synthesis One of the biggest mistakes students make when they write synthesis essays is that instead of taking the time to adequately analyze the readings and puzzle out the commonalities among the texts, they rush into the assignment and end up producing a pastiche of summaries instead of a tightly woven synthesis The result is that sources determine the purpose and direction of the paper instead of the writer determining the purpose A synthesis is not a compilation of summaries

Synthesis Exploratory synthesis Offers a thorough but relatively nonjudgmental analysis of the texts in order to present informative results in a straightforward manner Literature review Provides background and explains a topic, problem, or issue by examining a wide array of published research studies Thesis-driven synthesis Extracts from the sources textual evidence and material that will support a thesis
